Letter: Don’t tell me not to pet the rats

I heard today that people are upset with being told to wear masks before entering a store or business.
Really?
These must be the same people who, during the plague in Dark Ages, would have complained about being told not to pet the rats, while at the same time muttering, “What a blatant violation of our Magna Carta rights!”
