A young-ish medical doctor had his Middle Eastern mother come to the United States for a visit. One morning while driving her around on errands, a lights-flashing, siren-blaring ambulance came up behind them. All the other cars and trucks quickly pulled over, and the intersection ahead cleared to let the ambulance through. The mother looked over at her son and said, "This is a miracle country. At home, no one would pull over for an ambulance. If it gets stuck in traffic with everyone else, then that's how it is, even though someone might die. But this is a miracle country."
The doctor said to the TV interviewer, "If we pull over to let an ambulance pass so someone can live, why can't we all wear a mask during this time of deadly, disease threat, so someone might live?"
