Re: A local nurse languishing, August 2 letter.
If your partner is “languishing on the couch” because she doesn’t want to wear a mask or get vaccinated, perhaps she could volunteer elsewhere.
If you want to be a police officer, you have to wear a uniform. If you want to work with agrichemicals, you have to wear protective gear. Pretty much any occupation involving any risk requires personal protective equipment.
A N95 mask and a vaccine against a super spreader seems a small price to pay if you really want to work and are committed to your career. Personally, I prefer to languish, but I’m not whinging about it.
