Will and I were so relieved to receive a text from Steven stating that Ravi’s school district is mandating masks in direct opposition to our Governor’s statement that masks will not be mandated (which would simulate placing our precious, unvaccinated children in Petrie dishes where dangerous viruses are sure to multiply more quickly than we can say, “No breathing, please, till recess sees you congregating out of doors.”
Seriously, how ridiculously selfish is governmental leadership that places nonsensical political policy above the good health of our most vulnerable, trusting citizens, who walk through the entryway of schools, across the nation, never once wondering if those who kiss babies born to strangers care a fig about children who will soon be so ill as to be packed into hospitals just as sardines are packed into tins.
And what of children’s teachers and families as well as hospital staff, whose exhaustion will not be able to keep up with climbing numbers as the second wave of adult Covid patients (who’d refused to be a responsible part of the solution to this on-going pandemic), expect to be cared for along side of those who have taken every precaution by being vaccinated and masked before going back to work next to those who had scoffed at any discussion based in deeper truth concerning community welfare.
Though I can go on and on, I won’t, because my recovery from my most recent life saving surgery requires cocooning myself within a peaceful aura of personal well being, which falls to pieces whenever my mind engages in a political discussion as ridiculous as one that concerns unmasked children bringing home Covid way before report cards inform parents as to how well their precious offspring are absorbing life’s most important lessons—many of which have naught to do with reading, writing and masking—whoops—I meant grasping concepts of math—or on second thought, perhaps grasping concepts concerning masking up takes precedence over addition, subtraction and so forth, at least until today’s educators have asked the next generation to consider why mandating masks while Covid is killing innocent people proves to be much smarter than witnessing adults, who continue to adopt trump’s four year long pretense, suggesting that this deadly virus is no biggie unless your mom or dad or gramma or papa were amongst those whose lives had been snuffed out by politicians who, in hopes of being re-elected, are still spreading lies that millions of voters continue to buy ….
And having stated my frustration as clearly as possible while pain meds are pulsing throughout my brain, tis time to breathe so deeply as to consciously reconstruct the healing nature of my cocoon in which I hope to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.once I learn whether Tony and Ray will head back to school armed with masks along with all of their friends …
