I live in Connecticut where we required to wear masks inside Since early May, when the curve was pretty much flattening on its own. Over the last few weeks it has been very revealing to watch the same Karen’s on the local Facebook groups in May complaining about people not wearing masks, then switching to all Black Lives Matter for a few weeks, and now most of them have all switched back to you oh my God I went outside and saw someone walking on a trail in the woods and they weren’t wearing a mask, don’t they know they’re going to kill everybody. Basically the same talking points they had Back in April and May.
All it is is people who are just following the leaders on social media trying to look smart and walk, and unfortunately it is screwing everybody else over in the process.
Lemmings.
Bloomberg was never the Gov of NY
I’m beginning to run out of faith that things will ever get better. I’m at the end of my rope.
Yep. He closed down the whole state and now he and local cities/counties are crying because no money is coming in but yet the taxes continue. I’m sure he’ll raise them to make up the shortfall; blame Trump.
I have some funny things I paste on mine.
Correct.
Mayor of New York City which he hasn’t been for 6 years.
The one he wanted in that list was Cuomo.
Well plenty of people don’t do full face coverings. It makes me shake my head because I worked in genuinely dirty environments where the mask or respirator does not come off until you are out of the work zone.
Get out the red-blue map and you’ll have the mask map too.
Easier to fine law abiding citizens a 1000 bucks for not wearing a mask than put down the rioters and anarchists

Rioters don’t have 1000 bucks, and no collateral to attach.
And no address, and no property to risk.
My hearing is a bit limited but not terrible (unless you ask my wife!). But even with me it helps to watch someone’s lips. And of course a good mask will muffle the person’s voice. The usual banter at the grocery store is sure down a lot.

I agree, and experience the same.
So, how does ME not wearing a mask help the situation?
Dimslee hears “difficult for deaf people” and says “Okay - they don’t have to wear a mask! Problem solved!!”

Nusance (CA) did the same thing.
I think you mean the soon-to-be State of MLK. Not to be confused with MLK, DC.
Masks also prevent people from smiling at someone approaching them. Bad all around.
Shock collars for those who aren’t complying with Big Brother wouldn’t surprise me.
Such malarky. To be effective against aerosol droplets a homemade mask would have to be around the thickness of a 600 thread count cotton sheet. It would also have to be fitted to so there are no gaps. Can you imagine how wearing such a mask would feel on a hot humid day? No mention either of how the reduction in O2 intake has an adverse effect.
