After weeks of quarantine at home, my partner and I decided to try and get out of our house and do something fun. We decided that a park would be most safe, so we donned our masks and headed to Kiwanis Park in Tempe to play some Pokemon Go. Although there were there numerous signs outlining specific measures to keep park-goers safe, the park was split about 50-50 in terms of people wearing and not wearing masks. As we left the park, I heard one woman loudly complaining to her friend "So now I'm supposed to prioritize other people's safety over my comfort?" She was, of course, not wearing a mask.
