Mask it

Wed., Dec. 2, 2020

An excellent letter by Skip Jiru from Athol (Nov. 16). An Army Medic who’s been there, done that and has a good word of advice for all of us. As he said, it’s really a no-brainer.

Most of us have been wearing a mask all along and it’s primarily for the ones we care about and hopefully surrounded (at 6 feet) by those who care too. To those who feel it’s just a form of government control makes one wonder wouldn’t it be easier for the government to take control when so many have become ill and/or are dying? When all that’s left are SHEEP? The ones wearing masks certainly are not the sheep! So who cares, eh?
