literally almost everyone i know in NYC who went out last weekend tested positive. even those who were masking.
pls mandate masking if you are organizing a protest.
you do not care about your community if you don't care about protecting each other from covid.

It's fair to tag me as "from a military family" given I have such intense feelings about my great grandfather's service in the Civil War, and several generations after served. I'd say that we were more pragmatic than patriotic too. I use past tense because no one my age or younger got caught up.
