Thank you for considering me and wearing your mask.

To those that wish to ostracize those that do not feel the need to wear unproven protection in the form of a sock or hanky mask, sorry if I do not know you and am not considering your precarious health care status. Perhaps your care taker should run errands for you so that you are not exposed to the "invisible menace. "

By the way, I believe that there have only been 7 covid 19 related deaths in the Villages portion of Sumter Co. And Sumter Co. is the largest portion of the Villages. I am not trying to minimize the threat, but I do believe that folks should restrict their demands for limitations to others' personal liberties, to their own lives. Do not make presumptions that you are right and others are wrong.

I'll worry about civil obedience once Martial Law is declared. Otherwise, all precautions are voluntary, not mandated. Like I said before, I wear my mask and gloves out of my own preference, not someone else's demand.
The selfish people back then were the ones that wouldn't get a flu shot. There is no shot for this, so every simple precaution helps.



It's not unproven that wearing a mask protects others. I don't care if it is voluntary or not. It's about precaution and caring for humanity. If you want to risk the lives of others because you feel you have the right, I have little regard for you. I'll still wear my mask around you though, so you don't catch something and pass it on to a myriad of other people.
