Daniel Patrick Moynihan?<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks to the myriad studies, models, and tests conducted during this current unpleasantness (the COVID-19 pandemic, he says to himself reading this in 2030 when it might not be immediately in mind and assuming he survives the current unpleasantness<\/em>), and<\/em> how each is breathlessly reported by a 23-year-old journalist whose only brush with “science” was a freshman class in climate change, we can each have our own facts to clout people who wear masks\/people who don’t wear masks\/people with whom we disagree politically.<\/p>\n

One of my pastors posted this on Facebook:<\/p>\n

As governors are trying to figure out how to ease back in to a new normal, please remember:<\/p>\n

🛑 Some people don\u2019t agree with the state opening…. that\u2019s okay. Be kind.<\/p>\n

🏡 Some people are still planning to stay home…. that\u2019s okay. Be kind.<\/p>\n

🦠 Some are still scared of getting the virus and a second wave happening….that\u2019s okay. Be kind.<\/p>\n

💰 Some are sighing with relief to go back to work knowing they may not lose their business or their homes….that\u2019s okay. Be kind.<\/p>\n

👩🏾‍⚕️Some are thankful they can finally have a surgery they have put off….that\u2019s okay. Be kind.<\/p>\n

📝 Some will be able to attend interviews after weeks without a job….that\u2019s okay. Be kind.<\/p>\n

😷 Some will wear masks for weeks….that\u2019s okay. Be kind.<\/p>\n

💅🏻 Some people will rush out to get the hair or nails done…. that\u2019s okay. Be kind.<\/p>\n

❤️ The point is, everyone has different viewpoints\/feelings and that\u2019s okay. Be kind.<\/p>\n

We each have a different story. If you need to stay home, stay home. But be kind .<\/p>\n

If you need to go out, just respect others when in public and be kind!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t judge fellow humans because you\u2019re not in their story. We all are in different mental states than we were months ago. So remember, be kind.<\/p>\n

COPY AND PASTED….
\nPlease SHARE this reminder for kindness. ❤<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I suspect that ship has already sailed and sunk just off the coast. <\/p>\n

Regardless, I’m still going to smile and say “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” to people even if they’re dressed and are treating me like they’re Wuhanfa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
