When I wear a mask in public:
* I want you to know that I am educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the v***s.
* No, I don’t “live in fear” of the v***s; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.
* I don’t feel like the “government is controlling me;” I feel like I’m being a contributing adult to society and I want to teach others the same.
* The world doesn’t revolve around me. It’s not all about me and my comfort.
* If we all could live with other people's consideration in mind, this whole world would be a much better place.
* Wearing a mask doesn’t make me weak, scared, stupid, or even “controlled.” It makes me considerate.
* When you think about how you look, how uncomfortable it is, or what others think of you, just imagine someone close to you - a child, a father, a mother, grandparent, aunt, or uncle - choking on a respirator , alone without you or any family member allowed at bedside.
* Ask yourself if you could have sucked it up a little for them.

My wife and I drove to Cincinnati this past week end for our younger daughter’s wedding. Both ways, we stopped at a Burger King near Indy as usual to eat, but unlike usual we had to eat in our car because inside dining was closed; the {inside} restrooms were open, though. We were the only patrons wearing masks. That was OK - the local county has both the highest count of C***d cases in the state {10,945} and the highest C***d death count {668} in our state. We were able to travel as usual and economic activity was at its usual level, and we felt free to participate despite the fact that I am 72 and on medicine for diabetes. We continue living our lives and are not being ‘controlled’ by the Governor of our ruby red state.
