When the COVID-19 pandemic locked the entire world up in their homes, people finally realized the value of wearing masks in public to protect their lives and not be infected. Unfortunately, this understanding did not last long, and soon after the introduction of vaccination, governments happily released the restrictions that forced people to wear masks. Citizens should be legally obliged to always wear masks because it is the only effective way to protect people from COVID-19 and other deadly viruses.
There are four main reasons why my proposal will work, offering an immeasurable benefit for humanity. Firstly, people, unless severely depressed, want to live and will do anything to preserve their lives, however pointless and immoral. The primary message in this proposal is that “masks save your life,” which is not even a marketing strategy but a blunt fact. Secondly, many people love to be dramatic, and wearing a mask adds a layer of mystery to an individual. The desire to live and demonstrate one’s uniqueness are potent motivators for people not to remove their masks in public. Thirdly, men and women will appreciate the tremendous advantage of keeping their masks on when they start saving more money because there will be a decreased need to purchase various skin care products. Fourthly, people will wear masks constantly because they cannot deny the benefit of protecting themselves from infections and eliminating some routine expenses.
Other methods may prevent COVID-19 spread, but they are entirely useless in the long term. The first alternative solution is vaccinations, but it did not stop the pandemic, and people continue dying. The second possible way of reducing transmission is by allowing people to work and study online. However, humans are social creatures who require interaction with the world and each other. Hence, demanding the constant wearing of masks is a better option to stop COVID-19 and prevent other pandemics in the future.
I propose this solution to stop the COVID-19 crisis with sincerity in my heart and without an intention to gain any benefit. I genuinely believe that masks can prevent the problem of viral mutations that make it more robust. On the other hand, vaccines, which people and governments so blindly rely on, only give an additional opportunity for the coronavirus to become stronger. Considering the tremendous advantages masks offer, this proposal should not meet any objections from the public.
