Many of you may remember when Michael Jackson wore gloves and a mask. And when he moonwalked on your TV screen when you were about 14. We all tried it.
But one can bet when he was done with his mask and gloves they were thrown away.
During the last few weeks, we’ve watched dozens of people walking the streets in this garb.
Rubber gloves. Not the white sequined glove, Michael wore.
We’ve seen Nike and other companies producing masks. Soon we will see them on sale at Bloomingdales.
I suppose the Ralph Lauren masks will go for about $500. While the Versace gloves will retail for around $800. I want a Lacoste set.
That being said, what I do not want and what I hope my readers do not want are to see rubbers gloves and surgical masks on the street. Some supermarkets are requesting people wear their PPE upon entering. Fine. Wear them. And when you exit the market, wear it until you get home or find a trash receptacle.
In the last few days, when going to buy essentials — toothpaste, light bulbs and Twizzlers, I saw dozens upon dozens of these items in the street and stuffed into plant life. I’ve seen people walk out of the stores and drop them on the pavement.
Let’s have some consideration. While you think you’re protecting yourself. Think about everyone else. I remember after a scout camping trip when we were leaving our site we policed the area. We stood arms distance apart. Early social distancing and walked around the site and picked up any garbage. We always strived to leave our site better than we found it.
Let’s try to do that now.
