I think there was single day for me this entire pandemic where I got a little concerned about it. But this whole year reminds me of the global warming panic. When it first started it struck me as a whole lot of bull. And is it went along I was even more sure it was bull even as the world decided it was increasingly worth worrying about.

I mean did we even get the logistical nightmares in hospitals they told us about?

Yes, but the maskerbators get very upset when they see us without them.

Personally, idgaf. This silliness needs to stop.

Thanks for enriching the vocabulary of ridicule.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Patriots need to ask their local and state government, institutionally indoctrinated "leaders" why they are not reminding us that we are not obligated to obey the dictates of non-elected federal bureaucrats running constitutionally undefined federal regulatory agencies.

The only thing that the referenced federal bureaucrat needs to be telling us is that independent research labs in each state (that's what you call diversity) are investigating the following disturbing concerns about wearing masks.

>>Why not just execute people then?
>>After all, cutting the contagion is the most important factor.

They already have euthanized a woman who decided it was pointless to live sheltered for a year or more than see friends and family in a home.

They “protected her” from the risk of possibly dying of covid or at least having a nasty bit of nausea by deliberately killing her.

The best science indicates asymptomatic spread accounts for 0.7% of the spread. Even if masks worked, isn’t that emphasized the most unlikely form of spread?

How about, “Stay home if you feel slightly sick”. And let everyone else work.

One of the long term learnings/lifestyle changes that should come out of COVID is to stop incentivizing working and going to school when sick.

NO MORE “perfect attendance awards”

NO MORE combined PTO.

NO MORE dinging evaluations for using sick days.

For most people, the prevention has become worse than the disease. Collins ignores the facts that: (1) for a huge majority, COVID is far from serious; and (2)the commonly used mask hinders breathing and does not keep out viruses. Anyone who believes otherwise is free to mask or double mask. But leave the rest of us alone.

If people worn masks as required in hospitals. EVERY time you touch a mask and every 10 minutes you have to change it out. I would cost thousands a month

Has anyone ever heard of pneumonia (filthy masks), COPD, asthma???

Over doing is better than under doing it? Is this what 20+ years of education and decades of experience gives you? A wives tale on how to protect yourself and others? Why not spread butter on a burn, also sort of makes sense, don’t it?

There are real dangers to the mask itself.

Simpler still get a mask that actually filters out 99.97% of particles & aerosols ,is a painters respirator with HEPA filters & a pair of safety goggles. That way you protect your airway & eyes from contact with the virus laden aerosols and the filters are detachable so the face price can be washed !
