Over the past year I've posted sketches and drawings of people affected by the pandemic--anguished nurses, victims of the virus, and others. During these past (and alas, future) dark months it has been dreadful that so many refuse to even attempt to stop the spread of a disease that has now killed 400,000 in this country and over 2 million worldwide. It has been clear since the beginning that shielding the mouth and nose inhibits microdroplets carrying the infection from spreading.
If you have been diligent in wearing a mask and maintaining appropriate social distance, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you have not, out of a misguided belief that masks do not work (they do), or that they interfere with breathing (they do not), or out of from a misplaced belief that not doing so is an assertion of "personal freedom," shame on you! You are contributing to the death toll, whether you believe it or not.
This digital self portrait is a tiny hint of how I actually feel. For the love of your fellow man, I implore you: Wear Your Masks!
