Wearing masks, keeping distance from others, and frequent washing hands is not difficult in my situation and important to do. I do not want to see anyone lose their lives to coronavirus or people losing their livelihoods because their businesses shuttered because this BS freedom to not wear a mask or keep their distance has allowed the virus to spread uncontrollably. Also think of the risky health situation that first responders and healthcare workers get into because of those that take the ridiculous position that they will not wear a mask. This is a weak position to take under the guise of I have rights. What about the rights of those affected by the self-centered habits of others? With regards to the flu there is no comparison of virulence and spread to the coronavirus. No one ever said that getting the flu is okay and not an important health issue. That's why each year there are flu vaccines and frequent seasonal reportings of outbreaks so people can plan. My guess is that we will see personal changes that will translate to better protection against the flu. Please for the others around you keep your distance and wear a mask.
