Before driving a car, we learn/abide by certain rules. That’s not giving up our freedoms
We wear a seatbelt before driving; during pandemic, wear a mask before going in public
Just like we keep a safe distance between cars, maintain >6 feet between each other in public

Just like we say no to drunk driving, say no to sick working. Both put others at risk
But first make sure paid sick leave is offered so people can stay home

Drivers get excited/lose control while speeding
Similarly, fun crowds may excite but that “social speeding” spreads the virus

If we all wear masks, maintain distance, wash hands, avoid crowds - we avoid lockdown and save lives
We safely drive thru this pandemic and reach mass vaccination.
