I feel much the same as Mom MD in this.

[Empireoftheatom48]

We have had enough of this $hit!

[Artcore]

And sadly, we have FReepers who completely agree with the SG’s views on this.

My guess is Trump is going to stay silent on this. Some of the people he picks for these positions just boggles the mind! I just don’t get it.

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

If the ST said that , he is a true nitwit . War is peace...up is down...in is out.

[TigersEye]

I intend to start wearing a mask when everyone else stops wearing them.

First cop that gives me crap about it is going to earn himself and his town a lawsuit.

[jmacusa]

Amen.

[NurdlyPeon]

war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength

And let's not forget good old "arbeit macht frei".

[An Appeal to Heaven]

Thanks a bunch for the lame advice. I will not.

[conservative98]

Good idea.

Even during surgery masks offer no benefit in regards to post wound infection.

This whole pandemic panic reminds me trying to talk a friend down from a bad drug trip. "no. really man. it's all ok. You can take the mask off. really."

It doesn’t give me the freedom of breathing fresh air.

The surgeon general had originally said in February that masks are “not effective” to prevent transmission,

Actually he said that it could be worse than nothing. But then I think that he was trying to keep all the masks for medical professionals so he lied to the American people.

so will being locked up in your cells (err, homes)

I don’t know.

I have been wearing a mask since January.

(Outside, not at home)

Still wearing one. Supported Trump since (very) early.

“... purely symbolic of one’s submission.”

Amen to that!

I was refused service last week at a fast food restaurant I used to patronize fairly regularly before the epidemic. “Forget about it, I’m not wearing any damn mask,” I said, and walked out.

I will not patronize them again. The food is good but the staff are zombies.

Down here in sunny Soutwest Florida, we haven’t been burdened by any mask edicts from the government.

But I still see a lot of sheeple wearing the disgusting things when I make my semi-weekly grocery run to Publix or Aldi.

I might note that the mask wearers tend to be mature females, but I’ve seen males and females of all ages putting themselves through this uncomfortable and humiliating routine ... and for what benefit?
