youth Youth Comment Zachery Phillpot-Brian has his say IT IS safe to say we are all still adjusting to life, even after the easing of lockdown. Although some sectors such as casinos and clubs are still closed; we welcome the reopening of pubs, retail shops, hairdressers and other places that people have desperately missed. Some say the government is selfishly reopening places to keep the economy going, in return for a few more deaths. Others believe this is necessary for the long term and the government cannot afford to keep paying for people not to work through the furlough scheme. I believe that the government is in a tough spot. However, it is a spot they've put themselves in by not taking the virus seriously enough in the first place and delaying lockdown. It seems the government has a choice of digging a deeper hole of debt along with millions more losing their jobs or increasing the spread of infection. It’s a daunting position they find themselves in. So, what can we do about it? Unfortunately, not much. But we, the general public, can do little things. Even if it is an inconvenience. Wear a mask, keep your social distance, wash your hands and don’t kick up a fuss about it. I can’t believe it when I hear people complaining about wearing a mask, claiming it is their right not to wear one, that masks are an infringement on their “freedom of expression”. You may think a mask is pointless, but wearing one will prevent you, if you have it, from spreading coronavirus to someone else who in turn will spread it to others, with the disease eventually reaching someone vulnerable who could die. It also protects you from picking up the virus. I’d say wearing a mask is worth it. Even if doing so does fog up my glasses. Until we find a long-term solution we have to pull together and make this country safe again. There is no use pretending things are OK. It's up to us as a country to fix the mistakes our leaders have made, by not acting sooner, and doing our part. Lead by example and hopefully others will follow suit. Until the day we can go back to some sort of real normalcy and safety, let’s stay safe. Remember that the virus still isn't something to take lightly, especially when it comes to those out there who are not strong enough to beat it. So, don’t be selfish. Wear a mask.
