“I have to say, the focus of my tweet was very different from the commentary.

“I wanted your response over the weekend.

“But I used the word ‘talk’ and the word ‘talk’ about face masks. People thought I would give a platform to anti-masks.

“Who are these people? Why do they think they should not wear one?

“I wanted to understand them, because I wear my own mask, I wear my own mask before they are forced, businesses close, people get sick, people die, and the weekend scenes scare me.

“So I went to Twitter to ask what your thoughts are.”
