Just curious, do you worry that wearing a mask in public to protect yourself might be construed as unprofessional to these same "corporate types?"
I think you understood the point I'm getting at, which, to your credit, you delivered more eloquently in your second paragraph than I've managed to do so in any of my comments in this thread.
All good, no need to apologize. You have a valid concern, and I agree these examples aren't the same, but IMO only by degrees of magnitude. I guess I'm just over giving a damn what others think about this stuff. Let me say sorry for coming off so prickly.
