Reading every self-righteous comment from the mask-wearing idiots is enlightening. They all speak of their ‘fear’ about one thing or another.
How sad they’ve never had to fear a damned thing during their entire existence, except perhaps running out of coffee or wine.
I can’t believe any of these mental midgets are my fellow countrymen.
Did you ever stop to consider that the “mask wearing idiots” (as you put it) have actually spent at least a little bit of time researching how deadly this virus is, and that they want to do whatever they possibly can - regardless of their political viewpoints - to protect themselves and their families?
We can debate masks all day long. Yeah, bandanas, cloth masks, etc are bogus. As is dropping the mask below your nose, or worse, your chin and then saying “but, but, but, MASKS don’t work!”. But there are countless - and I mean COUNTLESS examples of entire countries (Taiwan [11 deaths/Million] , S. Korea [38 deaths/M], New Zealand [5 deaths/M], vs the US at 1,840 deaths/Million) that beat the virus down to almost zero cases...by using “good” (eg: surgical or better) masks AND wearing them PROPERLY. Oddly, Asian countries did the best on this..probably because they’ve used masks for previous outbreaks like SARS. But here in America..nope! Masks became politicized. Some (ahem) had to “prove their manhood” or how ‘free’ they were by bashing masks. And we had the most cases worldwide and are #18 out of 222 countries worldwide in deaths as a result. Kinda stupid if you ask me.
Now, we have variants. Yeah, I know the FR crowd doesn’t believe that. But we do. And they’re not prevented nearly as much by the vaccines. So, people continue (wisely, IMHO), to wear masks to protect themselves. Hopefully, DECENT (surgical or ideally KN95/N95) ones which are now widely available at a pretty reasonable cost.
Quit being so judgemental. Some of us are actually taking this thing seriously and trying to do what we can to keep ourselves and our families healthy. And when we do get it behind us, we can then all get back to “normal” - hopefully more quickly than if we keep letting this damned thing continue to spread and mutate.
Oh, and for a final comment..I know a guy that bashed masks..thought the virus was a big joke, a “hoax”, etc. Kept going to bars and restaurants and basically living life just like he did pre-pandemic. 51 years old.
Yeah, he’s dead today. FROM COVID. Died about a month back. No, he didn’t die of a “co-morbidity”. I read his final FB post. It was titled “WHO KILLED ME?”. Blood Ox down to ~80% on the night before he died. Gasping for air as his lungs filled with goo the consistency of concrete. True story, whether you believe it or not.
