Month: November 2020

Note: This article was originally written on November 11, 2020 for the December issue of the Scroll. I opted for a more timely topic, calendar wise and did not submit this one. So, this is a website exclusive.

Warning! This column contains unrestrained political commentary! Reader’s discretion is advised.

The country is aflame. Not literally, thank G-d. At least, not as I write this. What will be in the future is unknown. We certainly have seen enough rioting and destruction this year to last us a lifetime. 

No, I mean politically. The election is over… Except it’s not. Biden has been declared the President-Elect, except that has not happened by any legal authority yet. President Trump is ready for political retirement, except he refuses to give in. Biden and the press are jumping the gun to prevent a legitimate challenge to a flawed election! Trump is preparing a coup d’etat to remain in office! OH MY GOODNESS! THE SKY IS FALLING! EVERYONE HEAD FOR THE SHELTERS!!!!!!

Masks. We are all wearing them. There are all kinds: three-ply surgical, KN95, N95, cloth (with and without filter), designer, bandana, etc. Masks are in nowadays. They’re all the rage. You can even get designer masks now. Like a sports team? Get a mask with their name and logo.Supporting a candidate? They got masks too. Companies and unions are making up custom masks for their employees and members. Yep, everywhere you look someone is wearing some kind of mask.

And, that’s a good thing. In today’s day of COVID, masks are a way to protect ourselves and others from the virus.
