Letter: Wear masks to save lives, get this over with sooner

That was inconvenient, maybe more than inconvenient.

Approximately 54,000 Americans were killed (dead) over a ten-year period in Vietnam. Now, 500,000 (and counting) Americans have been killed (dead) by the coronavirus over the last year.

Please quit whining and do the right thing, wear a mask in public. We all hate wearing masks, but if we all did, we might get back to a normal life sooner, our businesses could get back to normal and fewer people would have to die.
