If you don't like wearing a mask,

You're going to hate being on the vent (ventilator).

if they have not been vaccinated.

Why is this being handled differently?

That motto has served me well from combat missions in Vietnam, to flying for an airline, to working wilderness fire lookouts for the US Forest Service. Anyone who is risk adverse, as I am, will wear a damn mask.

Dave Matthews, during his Verizon at Home (or whatever it's called) show likened the chances of catching/getting sick/dying of Covid to a jar of jellybeans and I thought it was a pretty cool simile:

There sits a jar of 100 jellybeans - 80 are delicious and safe to eat, 15 will make you very sick and 5 will kill you. Is it worth the risk to reach in and grab one?

If those warning about the climate and will spend a trillion dollars on infrastructure and technology so that the planet has cleaner air, water, and energy ARE WRONG, then all we will have left is a better infrastructure, cleaner air, water, and energy.

If the climate DENIERS ARE WRONG - the planet is finished and no amount of money will save you.

The climate deniers and the “mask people” have a lot in common, and I think - are the same people!
