WOW! There are so many thoughts on wearing or not wearing a mask.

There are viable arguments on both sides of the aisle. It’s your right to be able to wear a mask or not wear a mask; however, morally, is it right to put other people at risk of Covid 19?

I have different emotions on being made to have to wear a mask; especially when I can’t board the Paratransit if I don’t have a mask on. I think it’s being told you have to wear a mask.

I suppose I should be grateful for having to wear a mask because I have a compromised immune system, and I’m susceptible to other disorders. But, every time I see someone with a mask on, I find it annoying and wonder if this pandemic has changed the world forever? Is wearing a mask the new today and tomorrow?

There are those people that don’t care about spreading the virus or don’t believe we are experiencing a pandemic, and for that reason, they won’t wear a mask. There have been approximately 4.662,980 global deaths from this virus. You would think that would be evidence enough to take this virus seriously.

Will life as we knew it, before the pandemic, ever be enjoyed again; or, will wearing a mask be our ball and chain for our lifetime? Food for thought!
