Letter to the Editor: Don’t Let Up Late in the Game Against COVID-19

Posted

This is the Super Bowl. We have the ball on COVID's 1-yardline and there is one minute left in the fourth quarter. We trail COVID-19 by four points.

Keep wearing your mask! Don't be an idiot and throw a risky pass that COVID-19 can intercept. Even if you are vaccinated and protected, research shows COVID-19 could stick in your nose and you can breathe it onto unvaccinated people, infecting them. Wearing a mask curtails the transmission of the virus and by doing so limits the ability of COVID's nasty mutations or "variants" to evolve into even more of a monster like the 1918 flu did.

Get your vaccine! Hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch and let him punch it into the endzone for the win. When we all get vaccinated, we can celebrate like we did after Marshawn scored. Oh wait! That's right. We all remember that feeling, don't we? COVID could still win.
