Here's some good news that warmed my heart...
Yesterday in Los Angeles a maskless shopper went off on a grocery store worker who requested he wear a mask in the store. He ranted about his "rights" and shoved the worker with his grocery cart. She pepper sprayed him and when the cops came he was arrested for battery, but they had to take the jerk to the ER first because of the pepper spray.
Now if that isn't a great story, I don't know what is. Wonder if he will get the virus with the ER visit?

Copied and shared from a friend:
"When I wear a mask in public, or decline an invitation to a party or to come inside, I want you to know that:
I am educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.
No, I donāt ālive in fearā of the virus; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.
I donāt feel like the āgovernment is controlling me;ā I feel like Iām being a contributing adult to society and I want to teach others the same.
The world doesnāt revolve around me. Itās not all about me and my comfort.
If we all could live with other people's considerations in mind, this whole world would be a much better place.
Wearing a mask doesnāt make me weak, scared, stupid, or even ācontrolled.ā It makes me considerate.
When you think about how you look, how uncomfortable it is, or what others think of you, just imagine someone close to you - a child, a father, a mother, grandparent, aunt, or uncle -
choking on a respirator, alone without you or any family member allowed at the bedside.
Ask yourself if you could have sucked it up. Was it worth the risk?
Do you feel the same? Copy and re-post.
Wearing a mask is not political. Itās a public health choice!ā
