I don’t want to wear a mask. I am fully vaccinated. I really don’t want to wear a mask.

But I will wear a mask. I don’t want to get sick of course… but it’s much more than just about me. I don’t want anybody to get sick.  Not you whom I know.  Not someone whom I don’t know.  Not anyone.

Just back from Iowa to see a dear friend as well as my brother.  Masks required in the airport terminal at either end ; masks required on the plane throughout the trip. Flight attendants announced that masks “shall be worn” at all times throughout the flight. Masks could be dropped long enough to “eat a chip and take a sip”… then back up.

The Delta variant is very sticky. (no pun intended. read up on it and learn about its “stickiness”.) Masks are a significant way of reducing the spread.

I don’t want to wear a mask. I will wear a mask. You  too…as we gather in ‘our terminal’ … please wear a mask.
