We just got back yesterday from spending a few days in Michigan where their dictator governor Whitman reinstituted mandatory masks for ANYONE who is in public.

I saw about a 15% compliance rate everywhere we went. Folks are fatigued by all this nonsense - and even if it could be proven without a doubt that masks would stop the virus dead in its tracks... people would still reject them. They are sick and tired of teh limits, the lies, and the propaganda.

“Forced to breathe stale air even when you’re not sick.”

Don’t worry, that’s only temporary as you’ll be sick soon, one way or the other.

North Carolina’s governor has ordered people across the state to wear masks or other face coverings in public to fight the spread of COVID-19.

Pass a law and stop with these executive orders already.

Per Roy’s E/O...

Exceptions.

This Executive Order does not require Face Coverings for-and a Face Covering does not need to be worn by-a worker, customer, or patron who:

1. Should not wear a Face Covering due to any medical or behavioral condition or disability (including, but not limited to, any person who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious or incapacitated, or is otherwise unable to put on or remove the face covering without assistance);

2. Is under eleven ( 11) years of age;

3. Is actively eating or drinking;

4. Is strenuously exercising;

9. Would be at risk from wearing a Face Covering at work, as determined by local, state, or federal regulations or workplace safety guidelines;

10. Has found that his or her Face Covering is impeding visibility to operate equipment or a vehicle; or

I live in this dictator-led state.

Businesses all around me were already saying you had to wear a mask to get into the business.

This week I visited a neighbor and did not have on a mask. She acted as if I had leprosy.

People have gone nuts!

Today was the first day since this whole shamdemic/plandemic started that I have had to wear a face mask for more than five minutes. I had to take a relative to an ER and then pick up ice bags and painkillers from the drugstore for her. The ER required mask. The drugstore may not have, but everyone was wearing one.

It was horrible. There were at least three times I almost fell, bumped into something, or hit my head because my glasses were fogging up and I wasn’t getting enough air to think straight and judge distances.

And this is with one of those paper medical supply masks, not a cloth one.

What few minutes I had to endure the thing, it was misery.

Yet the Karens want more and more and more.

I despise Karens.

I am with you - I can’t breathe well at all with a mask on and it does fog up my glasses.

I absolutely loathe these masks. When, dear God, will this oppression cease?

So cops are supposed to police people wearing face masks? Like they don’t have enough on their plate.

Well, sure.

1. Looting - OK.
2. Stealing part of the country and claiming it as your own - OK.
3. Running over cops - OK.
4. Burning down a Wendy’s - only bad if you’re white.
5. Not wearing a mask in a campground - LAWBREAKER!!! GET ‘EM!!!!

The Democrat/Left governors are marching lockstep with the commands of their Party's "Central Committee". Compelled snot rag-wearing and identity-hiding shields serve both to slow down the economic recovery and to maintain the elevated level of fear, distrust and anger among Americans ... a tactic that has thus far served the America/American-hating Democrats/Leftists very, very well.

The challenge on the table is how to put an end to the Democrat/Left's plan before the Democrat/Left puts an end to our Republic.

I feel ya on this...I view the mask crowd as the low IQ, CNNMSNBCCBSABCPBS viewers...i.e., commies...totally sick of the terms,

Pandemic
Coronavirus
Social distance
Mask

They trigger me.

If we all stopped with masks and gloves today, there would be no change...in fact, we’d likely be even better off.

I saw someone at the gym today wearing a mask while exercising, a woman in her 60’s. She was non-obese. Unless she has some underlying condition, she is at greater risk from the foolishness of exercising with a mask on than she is from the COVID. Stupid is as stupid does.

Well, today is the first time I went into my food store with a standard old blue mask on. Previous to this, I was wearing an N-95. Much, much, much safer, they say - but it made me want to pass out and every red light in my brain was saying “GET THIS !@(*# THING OFF RIGHT NOW!”.

The cheap blue thing (made in China... hey, what could go wrong?) was much more comfortable (though still uncomfortable) but at least I felt like I was getting oxygen. Of course, that means I was also (potentially) getting the V-I-R-U-S... but, really, how long are we supposed to do this before everyone in the country becomes as mentally ill as the Democrats?

Exactly how I feel. I think I’m beginning to dread the mask more than fear the virus.

The actual executive order. The way I read it, it’s not required if your not within six feet.

Masks are a nuisance but they are beneficial.

“In countries with cultural norms or government policies supporting public mask-wearing, per-capita coronavirus mortality increased on average by just 8.0% each week, as compared with 54% each week in remaining countries. “
