Don't Be Stupid
Doctors and nurses wear masks for hours in the operating room. Soldiers wear gear in the desert countries, covering their faces for months. Hunters wear silly looking camouflage to, well hunt. So please wear a mask when you're in Walmart or Costco or the Piggly Wiggly.
The Broadway community lost an incredible talent in Nick Cordero recently. I didn't know him, but I saw him on the Tony Awards and all I can say is WOW!! Talented, nice AND good looking? He was also very healthy with no pre-existing conditions. And he died of COVID-19. How healthy are you? Healthy enough to take that risk? Because it's like playing Russian Roulette and every chamber except one, has a bullet. Do you really want to point the gun to your head and fire?
I recently read a post from a skater who declared that she and her ice dance partner would NOT wear a mask in competition. Don't be surprised if you're disqualified. I don't know. Is skating more important that my health? No. Do I want to return to the ice? Of course. Is it worth dying for? Not even close.
Just wear a mask people. No one is taking away your rights; stop trying to play the victim. Many of those who are screaming that wearing a mask takes away their rights are the same fools who are calling the cops on black people for standing, sitting, reading, bird watching, waiting for a tow truck, leaving a store, walking down the street or just being.
Long story short: wear a mask. Don't be a "Karen". Don't be stupid.
Don't you want to live to skate another day?
