Last night my partner and I ate on a restaurant patio. Just us. And we were masked. Felt like a real date. It was great.

But inside the restaurant were two parties. Sitting at adjacent tables. Not eating. Just talking. No masks.

One of them gets up to get more water. Puts on a mask. Then carefully uses their elbow to press the button on the water dispenser. Wouldn’t want germs, you know.

Like, what? What are you even doing?
