Soon most people will have been vaccinated or are already immune as a result of having had COVID. You would think we could be done with masks, distancing and all of the fear. Wrong! Now, depending on what “expert” you want to believe, we are to continue to wear masks & practice social distancing...until when…forever? Enough is enough!
If fate or your god or the universe has you marked for death in the near future, do you really want to spend your last few precious days/months/years hiding behind a mask, avoiding people, avoiding family and enjoyable activities, living in fear, and rarely venturing outside the home because a small percentage of people (who by & large already have issues) have died? Yes, the millions of deaths worldwide attributed to COVID do seem staggering but when compared to a world population of billions, the actual percentage is very small.
For a person who has lived a full & enjoyable life, why suddenly stop living now? A nursing home bed awaits replete with adult diapers, thickened liquids, and pureed foods. Is that the future we are saving ourselves for?
John Augustus Shedd was an American author and professor. In 1928 he penned "Salt from My Attic", a collection of aphorisms and apothegms in which he noted, “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”
I haven't worn a mask since this thing started a year ago, have had COVID which was no big deal (as it is for 99.9% of people), and am NOT going to wear a mask or get a vaccine rushed into production with genetic instructions.
Are you going to wear a mask and hide from the world forever? Enough is enough!
