Did you know this whole fake pandemic could have been over with in a few weeks last spring? We all could have gone on with a fun summer and look forward to a memorable holiday season. All of this was possible through wearing a mask, basic hygiene, and social distancing.

What? You don’t want to wear a mask? You suspect the government is just trying to control you. I get it. I was a rebellious person too at times. Try this. How about you reverse the logic and say you’re wearing it by your own choice? What?

Yes! Say you are wearing a mask to preserve a much needed right for your child, your parents, or your spouse. Seriously, the right is to available healthcare when you need it. You see, the hospitals are full with COVID patients needing medical care and when the hospitals and healthcare systems are at their max, there are not enough beds, medications, or staff to take care of everyone.

How are you going to feel when your daughter dies in your arms from an asthma attack easily treated at a hospital but it’s full and no nurses nearby to hear your cry? The medication to help her breathe is no longer available due to treating the hundreds of COVID patients taxing the system. The nurses and doctors are exhausted from this and do anymore shifts.

How will you react when your husband is in a car accident or injured at work and bleeds out left to die at the scene due to EMS ambulance service too busy to get there in time?

Come on, wear a mask and save the right of available healthcare for your family, friends, and yourself. They and you deserve it.

Wearing a mask by your choice to say to the world, “I take control of my life and I take control of this disease, not that government”. Yeah, that’ll teach them to ever tell you there’s a mandate to do something ever again. Well, except pay taxes but that’s it and that’s all you will tolerate to be told to do. Jeez, the nerve of this government telling me what to do. Tell them this “ I am in control and I will control this pandemic by my choice to wear a mask. I even look good in this mask, so there”!
