Illinois is a mask mandate state. Why is this so important? Cases in the Rockford, Illionis area are going up and the hospitals are filling up, especially Swedish American Hospital. Now, that hospital has restrictions of adults who desire to visit their loved ones. Can you imagine not being able to see your loved one due to restrictions being placed due to Covid patients who refuse to obey the mandate?
People say mandates are stupid, yet we have mandates we obey all the time. You don’t think so? What about seatbealts?
Steve Chirico, republican, backed Joe Biden; but wants the Governor to lift the mask mandate. In a similar post, I wrote that I believe the real issue is what we consider truth. People will not wear a mask because they believe if others say they are vaccinated then they will believe there is not way of them catching Covid. However, there are those who are not truthful in their vaccination just because they don’t want to wear a mask. As a result, they are at risk of catching this desease. After all, let’s look at Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. He lied about being vaccinated, yet others look up to him. Youths look up to him. What type of example is he setting by lying about something that can take a life? Not everyone is truthful and America suffer due to their sins.
Then we have those who will wear their mask below their nose. They don’t understand how they caught Covid. They don’t understand how it can happen to them when they have on a mask. Wrong! They are not wearing their mask properly. Do you or do you not breath in and out of your nose? Cases in Illinois are on the rise, not to mention Rockford. Swedish American Hospital is filling up fast with Covid victims, yet people still don’t take this seriously. The mayor and Winnebago County Health Department promise to keep us safe. In fact, I heard something of providing fines for business that refuse to adhere by the mandate, yet I don’t see or hear of any consequences of breaking this mandate. It appears the mayor and the county health department is more concerned with the amount of money flowing to make the rich more rich while the sick dies. Is that life worth it? Is that life worth the fine you may impose for a business who willingly break the rules? I remember telling the mayor and the health department of another issue that I had with a business and nothing was done. To this day, that business, and other businesses, are not adhering by the mandate, nor are they adhering to social distancing. Why do I care? My mother’s life is at risk. Why do I care? My fiance’s life is at risk. Why do I care? The freedoms of others who are selfish are disregarding the freedoms of others. Why do I care? People are willing to hurt others just because they don’t want to do what is right. Illinois rather die as a state that cannot fight Covid just like Florida, Texas, and other southern states that are fully opened without the regard to life.
