Consequences

He wanted to get back to work
And knew he was being a jerk
Though wearing a mask
Was not a great task
His loved ones now lie in the kirk

Sometimes the truth is so obvious, but we need it in a limerick to see how ridiculous it is!

The only thing one can certainly change is one's attitude and the government's attitude is not, "Respect the elderly (especially the vets who made your freedom possible) and wear a mask", but the tyrannical, "You WILL wear a mask and at all times" which fuels resistance! Aloha! Rico

That's the problem. Some people feel invincible and they can spread the virus without knowing it. Sometimes we just behave foolishly, but we'll need to change if we want the pandemic to end. Excellent limerick, Rico!

One person attended a Flight Attendant training school and infected 44-people, then attended classes at two gyms infecting another 27-people. Kaiser Permanente predict only 2 out of every 10 Americans will have employer contributions healthcare by the end of the year, so no wonder the virus flourishes under Trump's leadership! Aloha! Rico

G'day Rico … I did read about that covidiot, and believing any politician is not very wise. Masks might help but they don't prevent - thank you Rico - Lindsay

The current focus is on masks, but I still notice the vast number of males that don't bother to wash their hands after using a public toilet, which makes the Exit door a prime target. Aloha! Rico

Would you believe an incredible 43% of Arizona voters believe Trump is doing a great job of managing the pandemic? Aloha! Rico
