Regarding Paul Sharp’s vitriolic letter “Road to totalitarianism”:
Sir, regardless of your take on “forced masking,” it is neither PC driven nor “unconstitutional.” Masking during an uncontrolled viral pandemic which shows to be, statistically, growing, rather than subsiding, is good science.
To quote Neil deGrasse Tyson, "The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it."
Patrick Henry might amend his quote, “Give me liberty or give me death,” if he were, as we are, dealing with a virus which doesn’t care whether or not you believe in it.
