How is this different?

July 23, 2020 Updated Thu., July 23, 2020 at 8:31 a.m.

Nearly all of us have to drive to get to at least some of the stores and restaurants where we do business. To get there, we stay on the right side of the road and stop at appropriate signs and signals along the way.

Those are government-mandated behaviors that are in place to keep us safe from each other. Who among us complains about them?

So how is that different than donning a mask to safely enter a building? Isn’t it time we quit making a big deal about this and just do the right – and safe - thing? Stop at red lights, affix a stamp to a letter when you mail it, put on a mask. Easy.
