Danger to everyone: An unmasked person is a danger to everyone especially in close quarters or inside. What you experienced is being experienced by many people. The messaging from our leaders is not good and that is why you had the experience. Everyone must wear a mask. But you did the right thing and is what I do. Turn away from the person without a mask, walk away, stop, get no closer. I think you will be ok
