COVID-19: the cases go up in Florida

The protests against racial injustice continue nationwide and elsewhere. All the major online shops put out the sign saying they care about the cause.

While the protesters express their anger against the systemic failure in addressing the issues on racial injustice, the coronavirus rages in the US and in the world. Even virus has its own business and its own life. It goes on with its own logic. The unmasked customers shopping at stores will be infected.

One of the most astounding claims of all in not wearing masks is that there is this fear of the people scared of the masked individuals. It is as if they would want some decent and civilized outlook. This is an issue of public safety. If everyone does not wear it, then the most vulnerable will suffer.

The risk factors include gender, age, obesity, and underlying conditions. Warning those vulnerable populations about the risks should not hurt and is certainly not discrimination unless you'd depict those characteristics as the public enemy or with hatred.

The cases have been up in recent days in Florida. Each should take precautions; there should be warned. Avoid crowds, wear masks, wash hands, and watch out on the reports.
