Last week, Orange County’s public health director resigned after her call for mandatory face masks prompted a death threat, a security detail and a poster of her with a Hitler mustache and swastikas. On Tuesday in Santa Ana, face mask supporters were pushed and mocked by foes who chanted, “Hey hey, ho ho, these masks have got to go.”

In Glendora, some of the people without face coverings were with relatives, and others were carrying masks in their pockets. But it wasn’t hard to find people who told me they didn’t buy into the argument that masks necessarily limit the spread of the coronavirus.
“It’s probably driven by political scare tactics,” said a 77-year-old retiree strolling with his wife, neither of them wearing masks. He added that he didn’t know anyone who has gotten COVID-19, but if reported cases are up, maybe it’s simply because there’s more testing rather than a worrisome surge.

And then I came upon Robin and her daughter Natasha, both maskless. Robin said she likes to breathe in the fresh air on a nice day, and they cover up in stores, as required. But they weren't sold on the usefulness of masks. Natasha said even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has contradicted itself on the matter.
No question, there’s still a lot to learn about the virus, and opinions on masks have varied. But for the record, the CDC currently “recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.”

Gary shouldn't be allowed outdoors. Why does he insist on infecting everyone else? Talk about selfish...
Because the pandemic hoax is over, you sleazy buffoons.
“Gary,” whose real name is Chad, said....
They can take those masks and shove them.
I bought a box of face masks at the grocery store recently.
You know what it says on the back of the box: “NOT intended for use in a healthcare setting.”
Nuff said.
The local rag always has pictures of people with masks on the front page, and all over the paper. It’s the new symbol of submission. It’s how they are training us to be submissive sheep. We are sick of it.
When a karen complains about me not wearing a mask I just say “thanks for your concern, Monk. Do you have enough wipes?”
And that is what it comes down do. They are all Monk. i.e. the threat really is there and always has been, but still, a life lived in fear is a life half lived.
Driving is dangerous but I still do it. Eating out at a restaurant is dangerous, but I still do it.
And mowing my lawn, and using my table saw, and petting a dog or cat, and water skiing, and scuba diving and bicycle commuting, and drinking alcohol.
And we’ve lived with pandemics for millennia but virtually nobody wears a virtually worthless mask to “make people around them feel good”.
The mask thing is silly, as far as I can see. I chuckled a little inside when I saw Asians do it and nothing has changed. The “designer” masks especially crack me up.
It’s really just a cultural divide.
Yep, it's more important to simply not be a close talker and wash your hands frequently.
Also, they should ask Nancy Pelosi. When she had that flag photo-op with Floyd’s family, her mask was below her nose and mouth.
If it’s good enough for her...
Was Gary’s dog also wearing a mask?
I believe masks are about 90% effective for protection while shopping.
In my area, about 25% of shoppers don’t wear masks.
I am so sick of seeing these morons driving around in their cars alone wearing masks and goggles, or walking, jogging or bicycling outside wearing masks and goggles. It completely destroys the illusion that they area we live in is not populated with complete idiots... And then there are they daily reminder posts that many politically like minded Freepers are not as resistant to MSM propaganda as we would like to believe.
Because we are SO over it, that is why many of us stopped. Fauci’s lying does not help. We do not believe medical “authorities” due to his BS.
My pastor put out a memo yesterday asking for a vote as to whether we should have a masked service and a non-masked service. There are still alot of scared people.
Post Office makes us wear masks in lobby still. (Good thing mine was in the car)
Yeah. Get tough or die.
Some people wear masks in the car because it is easier than readjusting them before another stop.
It is a hoax. Perpetrated to defeat Donald Trump Nov 3!!!!
Everyone is quiet rioting in memory of St. Floyd. So it’s ok.
I don’t wash my hands and I’m an avid nail biter. I have the immune system of a buzzard. Now, pass the Possum...
You know it’s a panic constantly ignited with misinformation from the media when the economy is open in all states and THE MEDIA IS STILL COWERING IN THEIR BASEMENT STUDIOS trying to scare people into thinking it’s unsafe to get back to work.
Anything short of an N95 is just theater. I wear one in stores to accomodate the mental health needs of the snowflakes.
