Letter: Don a face covering

The resistance by many to don a face covering while frequenting indoor spaces is intellectually depleting [“ Editorial: Time to mask up? ” July 24]. This isn’t about machismo, liberty or freedom.

The resistance by many to don a face covering while frequenting indoor spaces is intellectually depleting [“Editorial: Time to mask up?” July 24].

This isn’t about machismo, liberty or freedom. It is all about compassion and respect for each and every one of us.

Don’t take comforting solace in statistics. They are a mere snapshot in time that do not reflect the total reality on the ground.

Continued stubbornness will only serve to extend the shelf life of this nightmarish virus. Comprehensive leadership would issue an inescapable face covering order for all indoor spaces.

Enjoy your summer. Go Canucks go.
