I read where over 3.5 billion masks used by hospital personnel were being dumped in the surgical waste bins. Add to that the plastic gloves, aprons, booties, hoods and other items not normally used to treat patients. How about the 400 million syringes used in vaccinations.

            I have seen masks in parking lots and store floors. They lie next to country roads and interstates. Were they dropped, tossed or blown out a window or blown from the garbage trucks? Masks, gloves, and syringes are being found on seashores and river banks.

            Long after this pandemic is in the history books, those items will be around. Some will be in landfills while others will be floating on the waterways or waiting to be snagged by a fishing hook on the bottom. I have already seen pictures of animals ensnared in masks and suffocated by being caught in their throats. Pictures of bird and rodent nests have shown the masks might contaminate those creatures too.             How long before America is just one big mountain of trash?
