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.
Yeah. Get tough or die.
The most frightening thing about this charade is how willingly the people gave up their freedoms in exchange for virtue signalling. I won’t ever forgive them for that.
