Mitch and Me (Part ?) Good News!!!

Hello Fellow Travelers!

He's Wearing A Mask!  Does It Mean He Cares About Others? Respect for Health?  Who knows or Cares?
It's the Message That Counts! 
Shhhh, We'll Scare Him!  A Republican Senator Wearing A Safety Mask -Very Rare
Awesome!

This is undeniably great!  I'll never meet him, probably never vote for him, disagree with most of his positions (OK, all) but he wears a mask!  Senator McConnell provided me a much-needed, seldom-seen example of non-partisan, practicality-based realism.  He wears a mask.  He's not comfortable, but he's wearing it anyway.

It's not political, not racial, not sexist.  This virus is potential death and until there's a vaccine we have to use every tool we have to fight it.  A mask demonstrates a respect for other humans and an acknowledgement that there is a mysterious, highly contagious virus.  Senator McConnell wears a mask for the same reason anyone wears one - he doesn't want to die.

Living is all that really matters, surviving, protecting loved ones.  I know next to nothing about politics or disease but I do know something about avoiding Death.  Senator McConnell has a completely non-partisan, practical, futuristic approach to Covid-19.  He wears a mask.  That shows consideration for others, an acknowledgement of a deadly, fast-spreading, unknown disease that's killing thousands of Americans.  We're not victims, we'll survive this.  When we're done tearing down Confederate statues (Really?  They were traitors and slaveowners!) maybe someone will erect a Mitch Monument at Mt. McConnell.

I'm just so happy!  I found a Republican Senator that has respect for other things:  other humans, diseases, whatever.
