I took a long walk today with a mask in one pocket and some portable hand sanitizer in the other.  When I did come within several dozen feet of fellow walkers or the occasional biker, I respectfully put on my mask – remember, masks likely do not protect you, but they really are to protect others.

When I drove back through town I noticed most people on the streets skipping the masks and ignoring “social distancing.”

I am not sure, given the staggering numbers of sick and dead, why some level of common sense escapes us?

Bill Marler is an accomplished personal injury lawyer and national expert on foodborne illness litigation. He began representing victims of foodborne illness in 1993, when he represented Brianne Kiner, the most seriously injured survivor of the Jack in the Box E. coli O157:H7 outbreak, resulting in her landmark $15.6 million settlement. That case is the subject of the book Poisoned and the Emmy Award-winning Netflix documentary of the same name. Marler founded Food Safety News in 2009, and teaches food safety at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
