WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?

Patrick Henry, the fiery American patriot and ora- tor during the American Revolution, famously said, “Give me liberty, or give me death!” However, Repubican governors in some of our Southern and Midwestern states have, under the guise of “freedom,” given that phrase during the current pandemic a 21st century twist: “Give us liberty AND give us death!” Ever since COVID-19 first was discovered, there have been a lot of unknowns about the disease and how it is transmitted. Scientists and medical profes- sionals still are discovering new things about this bug and no doubt will continue to do so for years to come. However, there is ONE thing about which there is now universal acceptance: Masking is THE most ef- fective means we have for stopping the spread of this terrible disease. Some Republican governors have refused to order public mask mandates for reasons that clearly are about politics and have nothing to do with the health and safety of their citizens. They make the argument that they want to reopen their states because the economic benefits outweigh the potential negative health consequences. That, at least, is a debatable point. However, the need to wear masks during a pan- demic that features a virus that is spread by airborne uest p d particles from our noses and mouths is not debatable. G O -E More to the point, requiring citizens to wear masks is not inconsistent with “reopening” states’ economies.
