Not seen as a HazMat problem?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Went deep sea fishing a few weekends ago. We came across half a dozen masks over 30 miles offshore from Florida’s west coast.
I like the obviously brand new mask laying there in the OP image.
I hate people.
Well, let’s remember hydroxychloroquine became radioactive, because the “evil” Trump talked of how effective it was in dealing with the virus.
I hate to be so cynical , but it was after Trump started talking about hydroxychloroquine that the Anderson Coopers and Don Lemons of the world, solemnly told us that this medication was useless and could even be harmful.
All that biohazard! It’s amazing any of us are still alive /s
I only discard my masks in well-to-do, woke neighborhoods.
Great article! Thanks for posting!
Only disagreed with one phrase: “These unintended consequences... .” Sorry, but I’m not so sure the consequences were unintended.
An enterprising go-getter could repackage these masks and resell them at a tidy profit to an hysterical American populace. I’m looking at you, China . . .
Probably a billion discarded thus far and silence from the left besides the fact that they are worthless. Our society simply sucks.
Knew it was coming. You can’t go to a store and not see masks laying around the parking lot. If it’s infectious then should it be hazmat picking it up. Would be a good business to open. Mask disposal.
Interesting that this would come up. I work at a hospital, and for months, I have been walking into the building and seeing facemasks strewn on the ground, in the bushes, and today, I just couldn’t take it anymore.
No gloves (as if I were even worried) and I went along the walkway picking up the masks and pulling them out of the shrubbery to throw them away.
It just irritated me day after day after day to see that.
