Dear Editor,
Here is my question to the officials of the City of Cassville: What are you going to do to help us, the citizens, during the pandemic? Why are you not issuing a mask mandate? What are you afraid of?
We are losing family and friends because no one is standing up and making it mandatory? They did it in Springfield and Rogers and they are masked up.
We need leadership, not hiding your head in the sand and doing nothing to help us.
Many of the doctors and health officials all over the U.S. are saying, “Wear a mask.” People who can’t wear a mask can wear a shield and will still be able to breathe and keep their germs away from others. There is no excuse why each person can’t protect themselves and others. There is no excuse for not doing this. You will wear a seatbelt, put on shoes and a shirt to eat in a restaurant, and take everything out of your pockets and take off your shoes to fly, but you won’t wear a mask.
This is about other people, so please do the right thing by protecting yourselves and all of us.
Mask up, even if the “leaders” of this town won’t issue the order. This has nothing to do with your party-affiliation or religion, but has to do with decency and caring for humanity. This is not about you or me, but about us, “we, the people.”
