The Perils of Isolation (and Masks)
October 8, 2020
TO LEAVE this world at the age of 95 is no great tragedy.
But to spend one’s last months in intense loneliness — for no good reason — is a great tragedy.
Shame on all those people, including our presidential contenders, who have let many thousands die this way because of a flu that has killed about 10,000 people who were not already seriously sick.
By the way, I was in a restaurant yesterday and saw a sad sight. An elderly man walking down a ramp with a mask on fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was able to get to his feet and walk away. But he was very shaken.
Whether he fell because his vision was impeded by the mask, I don’t know, but I do know other people, not all of them old, have fallen because of masks. We see with our faces.
