Cathy Commiserations by Cathy Guisewite for August 20, 2020

I thought that I was the only person who does this…

One of my neighbors calls this the Frogger Shuffle.

I found myself riding my bike in the grass next to the path a lot to avoid the maskless.

I find most maskless people would look a lot better if their faces were covered.

If Cathy is that concerned about mask wearing, I’m surprised Electra doesn’t have one on also.

That’s me! A good friend of mine died of COVID-19. I avoid the maskless as much as I can, but I stay away from everyone because I don’t trust the masks of others, I never know if they are good enough — so many of the ones sold are only one or two layers. When I can’t get away from the maskless, I turn away and cover my face (already masked) with a scarf to protect my eyes.

If someone maskless is in my vicinity I do my best to maintain social distance. If someone is nasty enough to come and try to scream in my face about “mask conspiracy” I will poke them with my umbrella to ENFORCE social distance. Sincerely, folks, carry a big ol’ bumbershoot when you go out. If it’s rainy, you stay dry. If it’s sunny and hot, you’ve got a spot of portable shade. If an aggresive dog comes at you, open it suddenly in his face to startle him and serve as a barricade. And of course, the pointy end can enforce social distancing. (For all that, an angry anti masker could get the same treatment as the dog—open the umbrella between you and him/her and you’re shielded from the spraying spittle!)And, you’re likely to get in less trouble with the police than if you carried a SWORD.

This is why I stay in my quiet neighborhood and rarely walk on the main roads. Too many people who just don’t care about doing the right thing.

If all people took this seriously, it might already be over! I heard there were these idiots who threw a “Covid” party and they bet on how many people would get it! Some people died! So @#$*^% stupid!

They are going to get hit by a car driven by someone wearing a mask.

Yup—everything we can do to help fight the virus helps.

Life does not stop! life continues even in quarantine, cathy is just having a hard time with it! hehehe poor thing, but she is not going through this alone, we are all going through really apart!
