Mask mandate needed again

By Letter to the Editor on August 7, 2021.

Editor:
We need a mask mandate in all indoor public spaces, and proof-of-vaccination requirements in certain high-risk environments, such as indoor dining.
I am sick and tired of having to stay home so that all the selfish jerks can go out and do whatever they want, leaving a trail of illness in their wake. I’m tired of public policy being dictated by the most obnoxious and belligerent among us, while the most vulnerable among us can’t even run to the store without worrying about some unvaccinated jerk breathing all over them.
The rules should be these: You don’t want to wear a mask? You stay home. You don’t want to get vaccinated? You stay home. The rest of us who actually care about others can then be free to safely live our lives.
P.S. If I see you out in public indoors without a mask, I will assume your lack of basic hygiene extends to not washing your hands after using the toilet. Gross.
