LETTER: Country before self

This is a response to the letter “Sanitized and usurped” on COVID.

Yeah there are a lot of deaths from heart disease, cancer etc.

But if you have heart disease or cancer you don’t inflict somebody else with the same illness.

I had cancer several years ago but I did not infect other people with same cancer.

Same with car wrecks.

Apparently the writer does not know how viruses work.

Right now we are playing tag with COVID and no one knows who’s it.

This version of tag kills.

Is wearing a mask too much government?

And yet for decades we’ve all seen those signs on doors of restaurants, cafes, bars etc.: “No shoes, No shirt, No service.”

Tyranny?

Can you imagine any of these Trump fans having to ration like real patriots did during WWII?

Real patriots put country before self during times of stress.

Not these guys. They put the “I” back in “We the people” every day.
