Letter: Healthy until proven sick
Published 12:00 am Thursday, March 19, 2020
The sky is not falling.
I am a big believer in the idea of “innocent until proven guilty.” I believe we need a new saying: “healthy until proven sick.”
I can’t understand why so many people are willing to give up their rights because of COVID-19.
We have closings, emergency declarations, sheltering in place, quarantines and banning people from peacefully assembling. Is this constitutional?
Now we have “social distancing.”
I think that the world needs more handshaking, hugging and kissing, not less.
Is this the new normal? I hope not.
