ROTHENBURGER: I’m an old man, and you’re going to kill me with COVID-19
I’M 76 YEARS OLD and I want to know why you’re trying to kill me.
You know who you are. You’re the one who doesn’t wear a mask because you feel embarrassed, believe it’s somehow against your human rights, or you just can’t be bothered.
You’re the one who squeezes up close to me in the lineup, or who brushes by me in the store or coffee shop without a thought to social distancing.
If you give me COVID-19, I’ll die. It might take weeks as the doctors do their best to stave off the pneumonia by drugging me into a coma and shoving a ventilator tube down my throat.
