If I were a resident of Burrillville, I would be embarrassed by the Town Councils resistance to the recommendations and directives of the governor and the Rhode Island Department of Health regarding efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19.

In America, self-centeredness and hyper-individualism are making news everywhere. At ice cream shops we have children in adult bodies stamping their feet because they cant get what they want when they want it.

The greatest successes this country has ever achieved have been the result of collective effort, of unified purpose, of shared sacrifice.

The Ayn Rand-ian types among us ought to comply, for the sake of all of us, with crucial governmental directives designed to mitigate the spread of the virus. For all re-opened businesses in Burrillville and around the state, the solution is simple: no mask, no service.
