A mask will prevent the spread. A mask is inconvenient and uncomfortable. Both are facts. But, one fact may be greater than the other. It is kind of like a math equation. What benefits the greater good… a mask or not a mask?
Mask > No Mask. Simple math.
I hate breathing my bad breath, and the elastic pinches my ears when I wear my mask out in public. But I know, even though I may not really know, if I am infected, I am not contributing to the spread.
I know for some people it is difficult to be in isolation. And that is fair, you should be able to participate in life. But it is not difficult to wear a mask or a bandanna on your face. It is unfair that you walk around potentially affecting others. If we all wear a mask for a few short months, we may spare lives. It is as simple as that.
So, I know, you may think you are OK to get COVID-19, and I am OK with that. But, I am not OK with you spreading it; because there are some people who may not be able to fight it. So, wear a mask, a bandanna, a turtle neck pulled past your nose when you are at retail. It really is a simple act. I personally see you as selfish for not putting on that mask when I am at the food store, drug store, Target, mall store, or anywhere. Please don’t put customer service or customers at risk because you are uncomfortable wearing a mask. Just think of others.
