FOR COVID-19 ... Is Wearing (Or Not Wearing) A Mask Political For You? About Personal Rights? How About Human Decency! July 7, 2020  By Dan HurstVoice Actor Many
have made this COVID-19 problem a political issue or a constitutional issue. Many
have made it a personal rights issue. But here's the bottom line: The
numbers from the CDC (from numerous reports) suggest that for every person
infected with COVID, between two to three other people will become infected. Extrapolate that number out over a period of
several days, and the sheer weight of the numbers suggests that someone you
know or someone in your family is going to be infected. That, my friend, is why I'm asking YOU to do your part to stop the spread. THE UNKNOWN CARRIERS Wear a mask in public places! I haven't always done that. I'm guilty. But I realize
the foolishness of it. Fortunately, so far I have not presented as a carrier,
but that could change.
See, the truth of the matter is that most people who become carriers of COVID-19 don't know they are until it's too late. So while you may feel healthy and even test healthy, there is a window
of a few days when, if you are infected, you are dangerously contagious.
And here's why wearing a mask is so important: If you were to be contagious,
and could keep from infecting others, you would (by the numbers) keep at least two to three other people healthy per person that you contacted. YOU'D BE RESPONSIBLE Do the math. It doesn't take long for ONE person to infect hundreds of others –
without ever knowing they did. And the more people you would be responsible for
infecting, the greater the chances that some of those people would be your
friends and family! By the same token, one asymptomatic but infected person
using a mask, could keep hundreds of others from getting infected. A HUMAN DECENCY ISSUE
So, quit making it a constitutional issue, or a political issue, or a personal
rights issue. Make it a human decency issue and let's put a stop to this malady
that our governments can't resolve. Only the people can stop this spread of
COVID-19. And that's you and me and all of us, even with our differences in
politics and passion for human rights.
One of the greatest of human rights is that one might live safely. That's not
something our government can provide. That something that we the people must
ensure.
Today, when I'm out and about and see people wearing masks, I'm not going to
see people living in fear. I'm going to see
people who are doing their part to keep me and my family … and their family
safe.
Wish I could hug them.
