Bio-Waste

Oh COVID19.. you’ve raised your ugly stink!  And guess what, you’ve affected, not just the respiratory system, but the brains of some of the walking dead!  I swear! 

The other day on my bike ride I began seeing “bio-waste” along side the streets in my barrio.  Today, I stopped and decided to capture images of some of it as it begins to be scattered about by careless people.  

The first one was the blue glove on the treaded crosswalk near a local park where children walk.  Who just takes off your contaminated blue glove, you know, the one used to keep your cute little pinkies clean and non-contaminated, the one you soiled with your sweat and flaking skin cells.  The one you turned inside out and threw on the ground where we must walk because you are too damn lazy to throw it in the garbage or take it home to dispose of it properly.  And by the way, where is the other one?  Are you marking your trail, like a dog does along the way?  Oh, I know, someone else is supposed to clean up after you. 

The other image is a surgical mask caught on a bush along a sidewalk.  Just think how nasty that covering is.  Your wet, smelly, stinky breath has been sucked in and out of that cloth with each lungful of air you’re trying to exchange.  You’ve touched it to adjust it to your grimy face:  Who knows where that hand has been!  (Ok, maybe you used the blue glove you threw on the ground.)  It is as nasty as your contaminated cloth bags you have been using to lug your groceries in and out of the store because you are saving the planet.   Your contaminated mask doesn’t need to be hung up on a bush… it needs to be in the trash.  It is BIO-WASTE!
