Pandemic musings

Dear Editor:

Good health is hard to find, like a lot of things these days, such as money, and food supplies. I want to talk however about health in particular.

COVID-19 has caused chaos in the masses. Some wear masks and some do not, still others wear them under their chin when you meet them to talk. My mother takes hers off so she can hear better.

Everyone is fed up with the rules and most are totally ignoring the suggestion of the Ontario government to wear masks again, now that we are into the 8th or 9th wave; we just keep waving. 

Perhaps that is the best policy, just wave, don’t try to talk to anyone. They say six feet apart is not even enough space between us, 20 feet is preferred. In that case all we can do is wave.

These COVID bugs must be stopped. They are chameleon bugs, they tell us. These bugs keep changing every time we turn around. Perhaps if we turn around and let our backs show to each other we would not have to wear masks.

I do like the idea of wearing masks on occasion. Like when I don’t want to be recognized by my nosey neighbor. I have also found it takes years off one, as no one can see my sagging chin.
