To Mask or not to Mask

If a stranger approached you on the street today and posed one of these questions to you what would your answer be? “If you could possibly save a life today by being slightly inconvenienced would you do it?” or “If you could save someone’s job today by making a small sacrifice would you do it?” I believe most of us would quickly answer yes.

Watching the numbers and the news we all know Coronavirus is on the rise across the country. Some states and counties have paused openings and others have taken a step back issuing new closures. In the midst of it all the “mask war” is raging. To mask or not to mask is the question? People on both sides of this issue are fast to state their case and emotions are running high. The anti-maskers believe their rights are being trounced on by being ordered to wear a mask. They may think those who mask up are weak, scared and not thinking for themselves. The vigilant mask wearers may feel they are following mandates and contributing to the cause or perhaps they are just so tired of the virus hoping the mask will help make it go away.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could just take politics and science out of this debate for a minute and look at it as slight inconvenience that may help another human being. Someone who cares for an immune compromised family member or a person who has been laid off due to Covid-19 and they are struggling to make ends meet. It is a small price to pay for those who may suffer greatly from loss of life or their livelihood. Let's make this about HUMANITY first!

Note: I have committed my entire life to helping people personally and professionally and I have seen the results of serving others!
