What to do when you see someone wearing a mask improperly

 Seen in Knights group, changed to be more generic and make a point:

If you see an older American not wearing a mask, or wearing a mask improperly (mouth and nose need to be covered), do not immediately assume selfishness or ill will. Instead, especially if the mask is visible but merely not being worn correctly, take this as a sign of distress. Your mask, if you are wearing a real mask and not just some virtue signal fake mask, will protect you enough to approach them to ask what is wrong.
If they say they cannot breathe, escort them to a place where they can sit down for a bit. Ask them why they are there, offer to help them with their shopping.
This is charity. This is kindness. This is how we should ALL be acting.
