Boy, I thought I was being tough
yesterday as a hypothetical Runner of the Universe, when I said that if I were
in charge of it, only the people who refused to take basic precautions would be
adversely affected by the coronavirus.
A letter-writer to the Post-Dispatch took it a step further.
Now that urban hospitals are being overrun by patients from rural areas, where mask-wearing is pooh-poohed and not widely practiced, this person says that urban hospitals should refuse to treat patients from areas that don’t have a mask mandate. He’s pretty sure that that would spur mask mandates in those areas.
I understand the frustration,
believe me. But I’d hate to be the person from a rural area that did follow
safety protocols and still got sick, and then got denied treatment.
Guess it’s a good thing that
NEITHER of us is in charge.
