Dear Editor,

Sorry to anyone this may offend, but I鈥檝e really got to do a little rant about this 鈥渕ask issue鈥� 鈥� so please bare with me and my frustration, after another awful grocery shopping incident June 13.

I can鈥檛 keep quiet any longer about my feelings on this. I really try to respect people鈥檚 personal opinions/choices on most things, but when it comes to possibly affecting someone鈥檚 health, I draw the line. It has to be said that at this present time.

I really believe wearing mask鈥檚 when doing tasks out of the home, such as shopping or grabbing a coffee, or restaurant, etc., anywhere we go for now, masks should be mandatory.

The people there are wearing them for our safety. We need to be as well. I really don鈥檛 understand why they鈥檙e not expected to be worn everywhere for so many reasons I鈥檓 sure we all know and shouldn鈥檛 even need to be repeated.

I am so sick of hearing/seeing people hacking in the grocery or drugstores I need to go, and mostly with no masks on. How selfish and unfair to everyone around trying to be/feel safe, not to mention the people thinking 鈥榳ell, I feel fine. I鈥檓 not worried鈥�. Many of them could also be carriers with no symptoms.

There鈥檚 so many of us out there who may look heathy but have immune or heart or whatever other issues and our health needs and deserves to be respected, along with everyone else鈥檚.

Please people think about this. Let鈥檚 not be selfish. Every little bit helps.

Throw on a fricken mask, even if you feel great, and stay home if you鈥檙e hacking.
