Please! Keep Your Pants On
It was inevitable. People would start writing posts about the mask requirements to protect against Corona-virus.
I’ve been amused at several I’ve seen pop up that start something like this.
I don’t like wearing pants.
I keep my pants off at home.
When I go outside, I put my pants on to avoid making others uncomfortable.
I don’t like wearing masks.
I never wear a mask at home.
When I go outside….
You get the idea. Clearly for many, mask wearing is no big deal. Just do it so you can be a good citizen, help yourself while helping others. (Your Mamma raised you right.)
However, for others mask wearing is violating some kind of rights. We have the video posts of people absolutely loosing their minds at a store when the greeter reminds them to wear a mask. I’ve seen a young Mom dumping a full shopping cart. I’ve seen a 60-something grandpa almost crush a greeter.
It seems we’ve all lost our collective minds.
Oh No!
Yes, I get it that the unknown of all this COVID-19 has caused grief and suffering for so many. Those emotions are real.
