Long after covid ceased to be a “thing,” and long after we’ve learned that all the rules were wrong, people in the SF Bay Area won’t let go of their masks.
Memo to all: WHO has ended the Pandemic. You are now free to take off your mask and leave the darn thing off. Unless, like so many here in the sunny Bay Area, you’re (a) going to commit a crime and don’t want your face showing, or (b) are among the “vaccinated and multi-boosted” who seem to cling to the mask as a talisman, perhaps the better not to worry what ill health will befall them next.
I know the rest of the country isn’t necessarily like this, but here we seem stuck in a twilight zone of willful masking, most notably among our large Asian population, but also very strikingly among the heavily indoctrinated teenage population. I see people struggling to breathe behind cloth or paper/plastic nosebags in stores, offices, in their cars, in the gym, and walking on the street. Will this latest news flash from WHO change that? I can only hope!
The talisman aspect can’t be denied. The sad fact is that the “vaccinated” and “boosted” are far more susceptible to COVID (and death, and so many other ills, small and large) than those of us who eschewed the jab.
Pressure to keep masking is surprising. I talked with a checkout clerk I have known for years at my favorite independent grocer. He said he’d had to get vaccinated to work, like so many others. I asked why he was wearing a mask. His answer shocked me. He said he needed his job, had a child to raise, and workers who take their masks off at that store don’t get shifts on the schedule...

Nobody has crawled up my ass. Maybe you’re hanging out with the wrong people. Being a dick never convinces anybody of anything, other than to avoid you. You don’t know the person’s life. You don’t know their situation. Leave them alone. And really how many mask wearers are you encountering? There’s one old lady at the gym I go to that’s always masked. And maybe every other trip to the grocery store I encounter somebody, usually also old. Their life, their choice, not my problem.
Here in Chicago they won’t either. Most, at least near me, really think that it will protect them - how depressing.
Worse, the pharmacy I work at is offering boosters (again) and a woman I did intake for was receiving shot #5. She was over 70, and under the impression that this was a new formulation. It’s not. It’s the same bivalent from winter, and most everyone thinks it’s new. As I’m a technician, I’m not allowed to counsel on meds, at least injections, until I’m vaccine-certified.
That just... It bothers me. Feels like fraud, but it’s like that everywhere unless the patient asks.
We have self-test kits on hand , and all three of us tested positive.
Covering one’s face is anti western and does nothing to stop the spread of viruses. Absolutely nothing. It is as stupid as those who tape their windows before a hurricane. If you do choose to wear a worthless mask, please get a vasectomy or tubal ligation so you can be prevented from breeding stupid children.
It isn’t. And it does something to stop the spread of stuff. You want your surgeon unmasked? It’s not 100% blockage, but if you’ve got a compromised immune system anything helps. I don’t mask, I have a great immune system. BUT I don’t pointlessly insult people either. Maybe you should consider the tubal ligation, stop spreading your asshole genes.
Leave

Really, it ain’t that tough. And bitching against it just shows you’re a bad person.
Go back and read what I wrote Stu, then engage your brain, and come back with some intelligent discourse.
Or don’t, I guess. Sheesh, those 70’s party drugs take a toll.
I’m in and out of medical facilities on a regular basis, unfortunately. Friday a week ago and this past Monday was the first time in months that anyone has said anything about me not wearing my chin strap properly. I gave them an earful. But it’s corporate policy, they say. I am lead to believe a good chunk of America has no independent thinking and embrace policies, good, bad or indifferent just because they have been conditioned to do so. It’s sickening.
I read it just fine. Ranting, insulting, and dumb. This:
“Naw, you give stupid a pass and in a few decades it’ll be crawling up your ass.” is not now, not has it ever been, intelligent discourse. So follow your own advice:
engage your brain
and come back with something intelligent
Or don’t I guess, cause maybe all that stuff crawling up your ass has injured your brain.
“BUT I don’t pointlessly insult people either.”

“it just shows you’re a bad person.”
XD XD
Disco Stu, you should have listened to Nancy. Just say No!
You insulted me first. I’m just speaking your language. Don’t want to get treated like your a douche? Don’t be one.
Surgical masks prevent spittle/bacteria from leaving one’s mouth. Most of the retards I see wearing surgical masks wear it because they think they “won’t get sick.” It’s a living IQ test for those who should not breed and are feeble of mind. The more we prevent such idiots from reproducing the healthier our society will be. The same reason we should put sterilization for those who are welfare dependent as a condition of receiving more benefits.
Or they’re already sick. Again YOU DON’T KNOW THEIR LIFE. So just let them be.
What’s so challenging about let them be?
Boy, saying the word “ass” got you worked up. Calm down buddy.
Take a deep breath, read it again, and see if you are able to apply it to current events.
I’ll get you oriented. Do you recall masked ‘tards beating people for not wearing masks? Do you recall police beating and arresting people for not wearing masks?
Its because stupid took over.
Now, reread and finally understand the smartest most genius witty piece of intelligent discourse Discostu has ever had grace his synapses:
“Naw, you give stupid a pass and in a few decades it’ll be crawling up your ass.”
and with that, Discostu transcends from matter to pure energy, FINALLY achieving enlightenment.
You’re welcome Stu.
XD... that was something you wrote to someone else Stu XD...
No worries, this just ain’t your day.
Why do you even care? If you didn’t like it when people required you to wear masks, why xan’t you let people who want to wear them do so? I thought we conservatives were for freedom, not just doing the same thing the leftists do but in the opposite direction!
“Mask was required at my optometrist office a few weeks ago.”
From a few months into the beginning of this travesty, my ophthalmologist did NOT want patients wearing masks. He said he had seen way too many eye infections since masking began. Much more than the norm.
He could only attribute it to collected crud from masks being blown into eyes when people breathed out.
Boy, having it pointed out that you contribute nothing got you worked up. Calm down loser.
I read what you wrote. It’s stupid. You’re stupid.
I’ll get you oriented:
Do you recall Greta Thunberg actually anyone’s mind with her condescending, scolding, insulting rants?
Oh you don’t. So why do you think being a condescending, scolding, insulting ass is going to change anybody’s mind?
And that’s ALL I’ve been saying:
Leave people to their lives
Don’t be an ass
You’re welcome Sarc
and they still do. I don’t mind healthy living and yoga pants generation but dang, where did they lose the science? It’all the clutter and not walking with Jesus.
Very few of those people at least saw the jabs as pure BS and fewer still have seen the whole lockdown and isolation worldwide for the greater good as anything more than these government manipulators looking out for them.
They’ve chosen to put on the blinders. It’s a tragedy
Exactly. It’s amazing how offended they are at the idea of just leave people alone. Even if we assume all their statements are accurate, that indeed masks have never helped and anybody wearing them is dumb, so what. To me it would be like encountering people wearing a concert T from a band I really hate. I don’t get in their face and tell them that band sucks, I just hope I never wind up in a situation where they have control of the stereo.
We are long past time to cull the herd in our society.
