CORONA VIRUS: WEAR THE MASK

First and foremost, I am not a doctor nor any type of medical person. Just an observer and writer of what is going on around me.

The latest twist in the ongoing Corona Virus/Covid 19 saga is whether or not people should wear face masks out in public.

At first the word was not to wear them and leave them for medical personnel for obvious reasons -- they are first in the line of fire. There is a shortage, allegedly. I certainly have not seen them on store shelves. 

The last few days, however, that story has changed -- like it always does if you pay attention. Now some are "suggesting" they be worn outside the house etc. In other words, some of the politicos have smartened up and trying to avert lawsuits down the road.

How clueless are you? Do you have to be told by some "authority figure" to do something which makes sense? If an elephant was running at you would you ask me if you should get out of the way or just .... get it? 


In my view anyone who went out of the house the last couple of weeks and did not wear anything at all over their mouth and nose are card carrying examples of people who will end up winning a Darwin Award.  In case you don't know about those, check here: Darwin Awards 


In this photograph I am wearing a 100% cotton squeaky clean kitchen towel. It's one of the "good ones" which only gets used as decoration so it is in mint condition.  

I'm telling you -- wear the masks and the gloves. Is it going to kill you? Probably not.

But the likelihood of something killing you if you don't wear masks and gloves are a bit higher.

Pay attention,  cover your mouth and nose.  Pretend you are hanging out with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Whatever it takes.

Amen, and pass the toilet paper.
