I was driving down Verdugo Boulevard Wednesday and saw a heartwarming display of gratitude and support for the front line health workers at USC Verdugo Hills Hospital.

Lights flashed, sirens blasted and firefighters stood on their rigs applauding the dedicated workers during this coronavirus outbreak.

Across the street, hospital staff lined up on a terrace raised a “Standing Strong Together’’ banner. It was a moving tribute of community love, hope and strength.

So, Glendale City Councilman Ara Najarian said that he has seen people cross each other’s path without face coverings. Well, as long as they stay 6 feet away (like in supermarket lines), so what?

That’s far outweighed by Councilman Dan Brotman’s comment about getting the likes of “some fresh air.”

By the way, everyone should google “How Inhaled Carbon Dioxide Affects the Human Body — Fact Sheet.” Because that’s what we’re doing with these nose-and-mouth-covering face masks!
