My uncle died of a massive heart attack last week. His funeral was yesterday. While in church, my family all masked up & stayed socially distant, but the “family get-together” afterwards at my cousin’s small house was another story. I was the last to arrive. When I walked in....
...wearing my mask, you could’ve heard a pin drop. All 20+ people were crowded inside my cousin’s very small living room/kitchen, completely maskless, of course! They all turned & looked at me like I was crazy (I was probably doing the same to them), so I just said to my mom....
...politely, “I’ll be outside”. 
My mom had told me that everyone was going to be OUTSIDE at my cousin’s house, not inside. Silly me, I assumed they’d be wearing masks indoors & eating outdoors. There were 22 people there, from 3 different states, all unmasked, eating, and...

...all crammed into this small indoor space. Ages 3-70+. My mom grabbed her mask & came outside with me, so we got to chat for about 30 mins, but my heart hurts that the rest of my family (aunts/uncles/cousins) never blinked an eye about being together inside. 20 adults....
...all who go to work each day, and 2 kids who are attending school (one unmasked), ALL thrown together and sharing aerosols. I’m afraid this funeral “get together” is going to cause another one in a few weeks because the virus is RAGING here in Louisiana right now.

...hurts the most is that many of my family still think the virus isn’t “real” or is a “hoax”. These are people with college degrees——a dental hygienist, a head accountant, a water chemist, etc——who’ve heard the rhetoric from Trump and think they’ll just “survive the virus” if...
...they get it. I was told, multiple times yesterday to “pray and have faith, God’s got this”....
...to which I replied, “No, this is a VIRUS.” It is HORRIBLE that my kind, loving family totally bought into and believe the UTTER BULLSHIT that Trump and his administration have...

...disseminated. I hope & pray that Trump will be held accountable for his CRIMINAL ACTIONS in regards to his administration’s failure to respond properly to this virus. Failure to use the WHO’s tests back in FEBRUARY (insisting instead on creating our own that took 6 weeks)....
...and failure to disseminate ACCURATE and TRUTHFUL information about the virus to the American public, the very people he swore to protect. Hundreds of thousands are dead because of his LACK of leadership, not the virus. People screaming about their “freedoms” are the very....
....ones that are not complying with mask mandates, are spreading the virus, and are the VERY REASON WHY our freedoms will continue to be limited until this virus is under control. Freedom isn’t doing anything you want anytime.....it’s a matter of coming together for the...
....greater good of the whole country. True patriots are the ones who CARE ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBORS, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS by doing what they can to help each other. Right now, we can help each other by wearing masks. That’s it. It’s simple. We’re not having to give blood or send....
....in money, or send our children into battle......we simply need to WEAR A MASK. MANY other countries have suppressed the virus by doing this and it’s something we can do if we all just DO IT TOGETHER.
