Dear Editor:
RE: Delegation calls for end to state of emergency, asks council to stand up against mask order, Sept. 24.
Here we go again! “I have the right not to wear a mask.”
In my opinion, these people have a “me, myself, and I” attitude with no respect for their fellow mankind, while most of us try to do our part to fight this deadly 2020 world pandemic.
The protestors, with banners in hand, march our streets while they spread this beast.
Would these people stand in a chemical war where people gasp for breath and say, “No mask for me!” They, before anyone else, would be the first to frantically grab the mask from the shelf.
This COVID-19 virus is a silent killer. No one knows who is spreading it to whom.
I believe the prime minister needs to order everyone to wear this tiny mask, so people stay safe while our economy tries to recover from its damaged state.
We will never keep this killer under control if everyone is not on the same page. Come on people, give your head a shake. You could be next to die or be affected by its lingering side effects after recovery.
Thank you to all who have done their part to help us. We know you are exhausted from your commitment over these eight months. Your wounds show your fight for our survival.
Shame on all protesters without a drop of compassion.
Lorna Hawkins,
