Who’s in charge?

I just read in the ADN that some arrivals my choose not to have the COVID-19 test at the airport as long as they promise to quarantine for 14 days. Oh?

What if they choose not to? Oh, and what if they choose not to social distance? Oh, and what if they choose to not wear masks?

Who’s in charge here?

I am 78 and my husband is 85. We would like to see our lovely grandchildren in New York and Virginia before we die. Think about us and others like us and maybe you’ll choose to follow the guidelines set forth by the medical experts. Your choices leave me no choice but to speak up.

Be responsible.
