To me there is nothing funnier than seeing people walking in sunshine outside alone or in pairs all masked up in the unlikely event that they get within 6 feet of another person. The first thing that I do when I exit a store, business or government agency is pull the stupid and pointless mask off. What a bunch of nonsense!

Yet we have those here who are still buying into the mask crap. They believe that a device that restricts their uptake of oxygen that in most cases cannot even give you much protection against dust are preventing the spread of viral particles thousands of times smaller. There have been experts supported by studies who have stated conclusively that the masks cause much more harm than good. Yet the masks remain a central tenet of the new religion.

I will not be suprised if I get a response defending the way masks are currently being misused by someone here who feels that they are enhancing safety. All they really do is allow people who are symptomatic to go out in public and not feel bad about spreading whatever they have to others.

As soon as I clear the cash register on my way to the door I pull my mask off. What can they do? Tell me I have to put on a mask or leave? My groceries are already in my hands, paid for. OK,... I’ll leave.

Masks are useless.

As an essential employee, I wore one constantly at work.

I was still hospitalized with COVID...twice! My lungs are now destroyed.

“To me there is nothing funnier than seeing people walking in sunshine outside alone or in pairs all masked up in the unlikely event that they get within 6 feet of another person.”

We live on a long dog legged cul de sac. Our east side road which runs north and south has a fairly mild incline over about 150’ before running into some serious increases in angles and elevation.

The south leg starts some serious increase up hill at the SE edge of our property. In about 50 yards the road takes you from fairly flat to serious climbing for about 3 hundred more yards.

Serious and in shape walkers use this area to keep in shape.

None of those people wear masks. A few idiots try to walk up the grade with masks.

One day my across the street neighbor and I were without masks in the street talking to each other.

An overweight walker with a red forehead and N95 mask trudged by us and started walking up the hill. He was literally panting while trying to catch his breath.

My neighbor is 6’7”. He hollered at the guy, “If you pass out and fall down, we will only call 911. You will get no CPR from us if you are wearing a mask. The guy took his mask off at about 50’ from us and gave us a dirty look and started trudging up the steep hill. We both raised our thumbs up to salute him.

Flash forward about 2 weeks, an unmasked younger generation version of the masked one asked us, if we told his father that we would give him zero CPR if he passed out while wearing a mask going up our hill.

We said, yes. He thanked us for waking his dad up. Then, he continued to walk up our hill without mask. He got the same thumbs up salute from us.

I start taking it off after leaving the cash register heading to the door.

What are they going to do about it?
