This article is comedic gold, and it wasn’t intended to be.
Authored by Emma Green and published by The New Yorker two days back, the headline and teaser of the piece read:
The Case for Wearing Masks Forever: A ragtag coalition of public-health activists believe that America’s pandemic restrictions are too lax—and they say they have the science to prove it.
As someone who absolutely refuses to wear a mask, I had to see this, because as we all know, the science doesn’t prove it. What was meant to be a thought-provoking and intellectual take, was nothing more than a parade of the disjointed and shaky philosophies of the modern leftist… and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Green begins her essay by reflecting on last December, when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scaled back its unconstitutional overreach. Per Green, “Mindy Thompson Fullilove, a professor of urban policy and health at the New School, was livid.”
Of course, Green notes this: “Fullilove, who is Black, has spent her career studying epidemics” — remember, identity politics plays a key role in the leftist’s worldview. Rather than allowing Fullilove’s academic and professional merits to speak for themselves, Green goes right to skin color.
Green mentions Fullilove’s concern that the government’s handling of the virus was severely inadequate (not enough tyranny), and in an email blast to those in the medical field posed this question: “Can we have a people’s CDC and give people good advice?”

That is why I feel nothing but loathing and hatred whenever I see a moron who still walks around with a face diaper - these are usually the same folks who yelled at me to wear a mask of who still believe that the rest of us should join their mask cult.
The evil ones just wet themselves at the prospect of forcing muzzles on people.
It’s never been very masky where I live, but there are always the odd few who diaper their faces.
The Thursday before Christmas, I stopped into the grocery store to get a few things. I needed fresh celery and onion so I waited until just before I was making my dressing. There was also a deep freeze coming in that day, so the store was quite crowded that morning.
Everyone seemed to be in cheerful, upbeat moods and we were chatting amongst ourselves, being polite and good-humored about the crowded aisles and the approaching bitter cold and making what could be a hectic experience a pleasant one.
Except for the very few masked people. I noticed none of them were engaging in any conversation, a couple came across as outright irritated and they all had the classic angry eyes over the masks.
I saw a guy let a masked woman who only had two items go in front of him in the checkout line and the masked woman didn’t even say “thank you!”
Who are those masked people??
But, but think of all the workers making masks who would be put out of a job if the Covid ever dies out!
Think of their children!
She used that as a reason the CDC no longer wanted PCR tests to be used to diagnose COVID.
Germaphobic and sociophobic control freaks who have so much mentally and in some cases morally so much in COVID theatre that they are frustrated that not “enough” people voluntarily support their cause. Then there are the scared sheep (who fear everything that comes from the media) and the Asians. These three groups account for the vast majority of maskers I see in my area (northern NJ).
I am guessing that they want this to be mandatory
They may well want it but they ain't going to get it. Even in my deep blue state (CA) the only places I still see compulsory mask rules are hospitals and doctors' offices, and that seems to be a request of the employees rather than a government-backed mandate. Even Newscum lifted the mask mandates by June 2021!

You may have hit on something there !
As it is now, the crazies are easy to spot cuz they all sport a muzzle mask on their face,,,
and they have realized they are outting themselves,,,
, so they want to mask everyone so they can go back to their infiltration into society unnoticed again.

It certainly stands to reason. They love mask mandates. Unfortunately for them, almost half of us in my area went around free-faced even when we had a brief, ill-advised mask mandate in place from summer of 2020 to early 2021.
Things like mask mandates don’t go over well in these parts. 😁
Spot on.
I wonder what the little underachievers who were posted at the entrances of some stores to bark at people about masks are doing these days? Training for the IRS, maybe?
The ‘People’s CDC’ emerges and decrees mask-wearing to be ‘forever’
By Olivia Murray
"This article is comedic gold, and it wasn't intended to be."
Our Sages teach that when the Messiah arrives the festivals will cease to be observed, but Purim will continue to be observed. The Midrash (Mishlei 9) derives this unusual conclusion from a statement in Megillat Esther, (9:28) "the memory of Purim will never cease from among their descendants." Why should a relatively minor festival be observed forever while the basic and more significant festivals will no longer be needed? The following analogy will help explain this extraordinarily puzzling rabbinic teaching:
"CDC", the Cure before the Disease (DC)...
Of course, Green notes this: "Fullilove, who is Black, has spent her career studying epidemics" -- remember, identity politics plays a key role in the leftist's worldview. Rather than allowing Fullilove's academic and professional merits to speak for themselves, Green goes right to skin color.
Regarding Esther, some do indeed explain yarok to mean a shade of green,13 while others14 explain it to mean more of a yellow-gold hue.15
In the region of Mediterranean, we would compliment a women for having a nice olive skin..which happens to be green...

Black comedy, also known as dark comedy, morbid humor, or gallows humor, is a style of comedy that makes light of subject matter that is generally considered taboo, particularly subjects that are normally considered serious or painful to discuss.

In the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Eve, also known as Old Year's Day or Saint Sylvester's Day in many countries, is the evening or the entire day of the last day of the year, on 31 December. The last day of the year is commonly referred to as “New Year’s Eve”. In many countries, New Year's Eve is celebrated with dancing, eating, drinking, and watching or lighting fireworks.Or, as the Hebrew page has it entitled, sylvESTER [סילבסטר], "wooded", which

"And there was evening and there was 'boker yom echad'" ~ Gen 1:5
(It's a new dawn.)
The reason for the custom of giving three half-shekels is...ESTHER <---> THREES
BTW, anyone ever notice that "Purimfest 1946" occurred on St. Patrick's Day (same as 2022)? Now if ever there were a holiday for goy-ing green, by threes... ☘️ (Patrick - Patriarch)
Tomorrow - Esther asks for the sons of Haman to be hanged מָחָר “tomorrow” (Esth 9:13), a veiled reference to the much later hanging of the ten Nazis.
"Bereshith" [בראשית] = 913
That Sylvester page begins with:
"...סילבסטר או ליל סילבסטר"
ליל סילבסטר

371 or 441. So... what's the difference? 70! Wine-Sod-Secret! 😉
502 = "I love you" (אני אוהב אותך, withaman speaking)
Boy do I have a long list for that 502 number, but here are a couple somebody might find interesting:
Joseph is his name, שמו יוסף
"not a natural number" (as in zero, generally) - לא מספר טבעי
Happy New Year! Drink! 🥂 🎉 🥳
