‘Please wear a mask’

Thank you to Walmart for protecting us, your customers and employees, by making masks a requirement. There are many more businesses taking this proactive step, but none in Creston that I’m aware of.

Our government leaders are not looking our for our local interests, so we must take extra care of ourselves. And its such a simple thing. If we had a national mandate. The health experts say it could save 40,000 lives. This is a worldwide health crisis.

Politics have no place in this equation. Our health care providers are risking their lives every day and mane of them are now sick and dying for us. There’s one thing we can do to help them and lighten their load: wear a mask.

President Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Each and every one of us can make a difference, if we do one simple thing — please wear a mask.
