New Delhi:
The raging debate over the use of masks to fight the coronavirus pandemic in the United States received satirical treatment on Friday when a comic book group, Holderness Family, highlighted the situation with lyrics about the theme from the Hamilton soundtrack.
The clip of more than 4 minutes presents the arguments put forward by the two – supporters and opponents on the issue – through a presentation of appeal and response.
The lyrics start like this:
“Excuse me, do you have any germs, sir?”
“No, I don’t – and it’s my business, not yours, sir. I have my rights and my freedom.”
“To be sure, sir …”
“But this crown is a sham.”
“I’m getting nervous, sir.”
In the end, the video seems to send the message that it is okay to wear a mask if it can keep people from getting into bigger trouble.

There is a debate raging in the United States over the wearing of face masks, so much so that it became a political flashpoint during the American presidential election.
Poll shows women, who turn to Democrat Joe Biden, strongly support social distancing and wearing a mask, AFP news agency reported.
On the other hand, Donald Trump is strongly supported by white men in blue collars, and “they consider the mask as a sign of weakness,” reported the AFP news agency quoting the professor of political science at the University of Virginia Larry. Sabato.
Trump even made fun of his Democratic rival for his protective mask, triggering strong criticism from Biden, who called Trump “absolute mad”.
