I don't know who wrote this, but it deserves to be shared widely.
● I want you to know that I am educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.
● No, I dont live in fear of the virus; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.
● I dont feel like the government is controlling me; I feel like Im being a contributing adult to society and I want to teach others the same.
● The world doesnt revolve around me. Its not all about me and my comfort.
● If we all could live with other people's consideration in mind, this whole world would be a much better place.
● Wearing a mask doesnt make me weak, scared, stupid, or even controlled. It makes me considerate.
● When you think about how you look, how uncomfortable it is, or what others think of you, just imagine someone close to you - a child, a father, a mother, grandparent, aunt, or uncle - choking on a respirator , alone without you or any family member allowed at bedside.
● Ask yourself if you could have sucked it up a little for them.

(60,065 posts)2. I love my wife too much to endanger her.
Even strangers command respect. If others dont I discretely walk away.
I went to the store during senior hour. It was raining hard, and that meant few others were there.
Forgot to get salsa.
Next week.

It not only protects you, it protects everyone else.
What's the big deal?
People are fighting over this?
