The politicization of masks is as stupid as
it is tragic, if I may call a spade a spade.
It's so irresponsible; thousands are dead as a result!
I'd shout this fact out from the mountaintop
if I could! Who thought it was a good idea?
It's sad to see so many Americans, especially those
who identify as "conservatives" not being
conservative in following the advice of doctors,
epidemiologists and scientists. It's quite perplexing.
Nothing about it makes an iota of sense!
Wearing a mask, or not wearing one
has absolutely nothing to do with
one's political affiliation. Thousands
of people dying alone in the hospital
of Covid-19 on a quotidian basis...
are Democrats, Republicans, Independents,
children, senior citizens, the rich, the poor,
shall I go on? Covid-19 cases are still surging
exponentially across the United States, and not a soul
is immune. This virus infects and kills every one of us.
A mask is not and shouldn't be thought of as
a political statement! It's no different from any
piece of clothing. One wears it for personal safety
and the safety of others. Wear it to protect your child,
friend, neighbor, parents, grandparents; even strangers.
Until there's a vaccine, we must continue to
protect ourselves against this insidious virus
that has stolen more than quarter of a million lives
and counting! Wear your masks and maintain
a six-feet social distance from others. Safety is key!
