What They Are Not Saying

After being exposed to a Covid positive woman at Bible study, a county health representative told a class member if she was less than 6 feet away, regardless of mask wearing, to consider herself exposed. What they are not saying is--a mask is not enough protection.

When we are told wearing masks protects others from our germs, but not us from theirs, what they are not saying is--masks work when you exhale, but not when you inhale--because that doesn't make sense.

When we are told putting masks on healthy people will stop asymptomatic spread, what they are not saying is--there has never been a practical way of stopping asymptomatic spread or we would have used it for influenza, norovirus, and the common cold.

When we are told to stop the spread because Covid is far more serious than a cold, and then told to stay home if we have a cold because it might actually be Covid, what they are not saying is--for many people, Covid is no worse than a cold. 

When they blame Covid flare ups in the U.S. on social gatherings and not wearing masks, what they are not saying is--Covid is flaring around the world, even in countries that have been on strict lock down since the virus began, so there must be another explanation.

And frankly, if people are defying the protocols worldwide despite civil and military enforcement, when local authorities threaten, or attempt, to return to stricter measures, what they are not saying is--we have the power to leap tall buildings in a single bound, or better yet, to filter out tiny virus particles with a breathable chunk of paper/cloth. 

Although, it is sinful on my part, when I pray for these appointed authorities, what I am not saying is--I am praying they get Covid. (Not a bad case, just a little wake up call from reality.)
