I copied this from a cousin’s post on Facebook and think these are words that need to be spread.
I have been wearing a mask in stores (and limiting my trips) since March when this whole thing went down.
I’m not sure how being considerate to others for the common good is now being mocked by some who are calling it “living in fear”, but it needs to stop….
When I wear a mask over my nose and mouth in public and in the stores/Supermarkets/Pharmacies/Offices – I want you to know the following:
📷 I’m educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.
📷 No, I don’t “live in fear” of the virus; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.
📷 I don’t feel like the “government controls me”. I feel like I’m an adult contributing to the security in our society and I want to teach others the same.
📷 If we could all live with the consideration of others in mind, the whole world would be a much better place.
📷 Wearing a mask doesn’t make me weak, scared, stupid or even “controlled”. It makes me caring and responsible.
📷 When you think about your appearance, discomfort, or other people’s opinion of you, imagine a loved one – a child, father, mother, grandparent, aunt, uncle or even a stranger – placed on a ventilator, alone without you or any family member allowed at their bedside…..Ask yourself if you could have helped them a little by wearing a mask.

This whole thing has been so politicized that common sense has gone out the window! I mean, it’s not like we’re being asked to wear masks 24/7. Just when we might expose someone.
So well put. I wear my mask and am surprised at the many who do not. Here it is mandatory on public Transport but nowhere else. Who cares if I look a little odd, or maybe I do anyway.
Yes. It will end eventually. I’ve got high hopes that common sense will become the new normal. A bit over optimistic I’m sure, but a nice dream.
A lovely dream but we can make it a reality with patience and persistence.
So well put. I just don´t understand why anyone would be against someone wearing a mask. xo
I agree. Strange times Darlene, it’s almost like common sense has been suspended. Stay safe and I am loving your adventures via FB
