I’ll be darned if I’m going to live my life in a cocoon and this ridiculous hysteria that everyone has. If you feel that you want To wear a mask in public and in stores by all means I will honor that I will keep my 6 feet from you I will not try to make you feel uncomfortable if you want to live in a cocoon you go right ahead but don’t criticize me for not feeling uncomfortable going on with my life and not Shaking in my boots that I’m going to get this virus or die from it. Number one I am not afraid of getting it if I happen to get it I feel confident that I will be one of the 98% that will fully recover. Years from now they’re going to look back at this ridiculous hysteria and realize that throughout history we have had serious viruses and never reacted like this and fully recovered. Again I will keep my social distancing I will not make you feel uncomfortable by coming up and hugging you or getting anywhere near you but I will also feel very very comfortable going on with my life and not looking silly driving around by myself in the car with the windows rolled up an air conditioner on with a mask on.

We'll survive this just like we will survive the Saharan Dust Cloud of 2020 (eek!). Of course, coronaviruses and Saharan dust clouds are nothing new but this year we get to freak out about them! In the fall when the leaves turn colors on the trees, I'm sure we'll be warned about that massive oxygen depletion in the air caused by the death of greenery.
