Pandemic Thoughts from Papa
Current events of the state of Kansas, the United States, and the world lend themselves to a plethora of topics to be written about. My topic is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), or more commonly known as coronavirus disease (COVID-19). More specifically, I would like to share my thoughts regarding masks. Who would have imagined the controversy surrounding the wearing, or not wearing a mask? Somehow, the simple act of covering your mouth and nose with a mask (regardless of mask type) has created, in some people, a highly charged reaction. My purely unscientific guess is this.
