My aunt and her daughter went to the Dollar Tree at Willow Lawn. There was a manager near her who sneezed several times. He was not wearing a mask. When my aunt asked him to cover his mouth, he replied, and I quote, “You shouldn’t be out here anyway.”

My aunt, who is African-American, is an elderly person with underlying medical conditions. She has severe high blood pressure.

She was so upset when she called me about his callousness.

I am very concerned about her life and well-being. I feel that his behavior — he

also was African-American — can and will jeopardize the lives of others. He does not have that right, and ignorance of COVID-19 is not an excuse.
