STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT COVID-19. Shut up and put on your mask.”
Powerline ^ | August 31, 2020 | Scott Johnson

Mr. McHale comments on the experience of the company with the COVID-19 epidemic, on the relevant data, and on the shifting public health advice in the current company video posted here. McHale captures the attitude of the authorities in the refrain: “Shut up and put on your mask.” He restates in concise form many of the themes that we have pursued as we have followed the course of the epidemic. His concision extends all the way through to his conclusion: “My closing line this week is: Wake up!”

The seven-minute video is not available in embeddable form, but it is well worth your time to click on the link and check it out.

Quotable quote: “For almost six months now most of our politicians have been putting in place mandates that have had tremendous negative consequences on people’s lives. They’ve told us they’re listening to the medical experts. The media has worked 24/7 to scare people. They’re pushing a single narrative, focusing on those medical experts that are the biggest fear mongers, the sky is falling group of medical experts. Dissenting medical opinions are not allowed. Shut up and put on your mask.”

“We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”

I don’t need a vaccine right now — I’ll wait until I’m 90 and already just a few weeks away from death from some other medical condition. That’s about the only time I need to worry about COVID-19.

If people are too scared to go out in public and carry on normal activities then stay home and suck your thumb.
