"if I thought it was important"-President Trump upon being asked if he would consider wearing a mask
On April 3rd the CDC recommended to the public that they wear face masks. On April 5th, the First Lady, Melania Trump tweeted, "I ask that everyone take social distancing & wearing a mask/face covering seriously. #COVID19 is a virus that can spread to anyone."Unfortunately, President Trump did not help the CDC, nor his wife in their cause to promote the wearing of face masks as to prevent the spread. No, the President instead not only failed to promote and encourage the wearing of masks, but he actually discouraged people from wearing masks.
Love him or hate him the president is America's leader. He is the leader of a country that at present has over 800,000 cases of COVID19, and over 45,000 deaths from a deadly disease that is highly contagious. America is under attack from a deadly disease and yet America doesn't seem to have a leader. Rather, America doesn't have a leader that is doing his job. President Trump's job is to lead this nation to safety. The president already failed once in keeping America safe from the threat of COVID19, but he is now failing yet again. He is failing again by not encouraging Americans to do what they need to do to be safe. The president is failing in his rhetoric. The presidency is a powerful position and whether one loves him, hates him, supports him, or doesn't support him, Americans are listening to what he says and what he does. That being said, astonishingly many Americans still think that COVID19 is just the flu, a cold, not real, going to just disappear, or a political hoax by the Democrats. Don't believe me? I personally have a friend that said he would take the pandemic seriously if 5000 or more Americans started dying on a daily basis. I also know of a Doctor that said it would go away with the warmer weather. Sadly, it is the people that listen to the lies and ignorance of the president that will lead to the death of thousands.
Americans are listening to the president. They are listening and even if they don't support him many are following his lead. That being said, when President Trump says that he doesn't think a mask is important, many Americans hear, "a mask isn't important'. When President Trump states, that he's not going to wear a mask, many Americans hear, "I won't wear a mask." By the President being belligerent against the wearing of masks, he is promoting that Americans don't need to wear a mask. What the president is doing is criminal. The president as America's leader should be doing everything in his power to ensure the safety of Americans and while that ship has sailed and sunk, he can at least prevent the further spread of this deadly pandemic.
A mask is important! Why is it important? It is important as it's not about us, it's about everyone else. A mask is about protecting someone else who could be vulnerable to the deadly disease. Without widespread testing no one knows if they do or do not have the deadly disease. This disease is extremely contagious, extremely serious, and extremely frightening. This disease is most contagious when people are asymptomatic. This disease can kill people of all ages. This disease can kill those who are healthy and those who are not healthy. This disease is like HIV and Herpes, in that it is with you for life except there is no cure and there doesn't seem to be any magic medications to help with the symptoms. This disease is not a joke, it's not going to go away, and it's not going to disappear, and we as Americans can fight this disease together.
We can fight the deadly COVID19 pandemic together, but we need help from the president. We need help from the president with his words. Every single day President Trump is on television and he has the power. He has the power to tell Americans that they should wear masks. He has the power to tell Americans that the countries successful in keeping their numbers down ordered and or encouraged their citizens to wear masks. That's all it would take. I can't help but wonder how many lives could be saved if President Trump would promote the wearing of masks even half as much as he promoted the unproven drug hydroxychloroquine.
America, we're in this together. We're in this together and we can fight it together. We can fight it together if we continue with social distancing, and the wearing of masks. While I myself don't relish wearing a mask, I know it's important. I won't lie. A mask makes breathing difficult. A mask is unattractive, a mask is bothersome, and a mask is a pain in the royal arse. However, a mask is better than the alternative. A mask is better than being dead, and a mask is better than killing someone else. A mask should be being promoted by this president. Sadly, that is why I am begging this president to be a leader and promote the wearing of masks!Mr. President, be a leader and wear a mask!
