Time is running out for Denver folks to procure trendy face masks for their family because if they dont have one by Wednesday, theyll essentially be under house arrest until Mayor Hancock says otherwise.
The mask mandate means everyone older than three must wear a face-covering in almost every instance when they leave their house or their own vehicle.
If your four-year-old is caught slipping off the mask to gulp down a juice box in the store, bam! Youre looking at a fine of nearly $1,000. Oh, and if youre a single parent, good luck finding a babysitter so you can run errands without children.
If you have allergies or asthma that prevent you from wearing a mask, better get a doctors excuse.
If masks are itchy and make you scratch your face all the time, which is the exact opposite of what the CDC recommends, stop trying to make sense of the mandate.
If masks fog up your glasses, too bad.
If masks keep sliding up into your eyes, make sure your mask is regularly sanitized.
And speaking of sanitized masks, if you are a germaphobe do not watch this video.

But Hancocks order that Denver residents cant leave their homes to obtain food and medicine unless they follow his order, which is not what the CDC recommended in this time of pandemic, is inhumane.

The more I read of these ridiculous restrictions, the more I realize that some of these politicians are only lacking a few good beatings of receiving a much-needed education.
‘Decrease transmission by 80-90%.’
only if a person has a coughing fit or sneezes...otherwise, masks decrease transmission of nothing whatsoever by 80-90%...
Particularly when some of the mask-wearers and anti-social distancers test positive for the Chinese virus. I can hear their protestations and denials now: "How is this possible?! I obeyed my politician's and 'The Experts' commands and I even followed kaehurowing's advice to wear my mask at all times and to maintain my 12-foot diameter 'safe space' from every other human being and I still have the Chinese virus! How can this be?!"
But their perspective will ultimately change as they will learn that they were, in fact, being "socially responsible" and have been "fighting the Chinese virus" all along in that by wearing their little mask which offered no real protection against transmitting the Chinese virus and by being asymptomatic as millions are they were, albeit unknowingly, contributing to the development of widespread immunity ("herd" immunity) by infecting others.
Oh yeah and my glasses kept steaming up it was the most aggravating thing ever!!
I spend a couple days a week wearing an N95 for 14 hours, employer mandate, and a cloth mask over that, my choice. Then there are my two “short” days, also masked.
It isn’t bad at all, and I’ve always got winded quickly. Getting kind of warm as summer comes along.

I don’t think it’s going to recover fully anytime soon- many small businesses have really been either hurt or destroyed-
[[This is like a nightmare.]]
Yes it is, and we have commercials now constantly trying to brainwash everyone into compliance by saying things like “We’re all in this together, we must listen to the experts, and shelter inplace” and crap like that- in other words, all these commercials are telling everyone ‘obey and comply- the government is the end all be all, and must be obeyed’ and ‘You don’t know how to keep yourselves safe- trust us- we know’
The more I read of these ridiculous restrictions, the more I realize that some of these politicians are only lacking a few good beatings of receiving a much-needed education.
Dollar stores have paint masks 6 in a pkg. for $1. That was my second try at finding a mask.....these worked as people couldn’t tell the difference.
I see a Southpark episode in here.
‘Of if 93 year old couple sitting on a beach would be warned by police because only exercise is allowed by govt?’
it is otherworldly, really; I would expect a Star Trek episode to contain a ‘civilization’ that did this sort of thing...but, if it makes FR posters like kaehurowing happy, I guess it’s worth it...
I just ignore all those commercials about ‘Togetherness’.....Especially the celebrities and those in the music industry who are doing there vido gigs online in order to get their “fix’ for being seen.
More and more like Communist Chinese propaganda you see on Communist Chinese TV
You got it. But seeing everybody wearing masks subconsciously convinces you there is a real problem. I think that is the unstated purpose of mask mandates and gives the scolds you might meet up with a reason to scold you for not wearing one.
“I cant believe people are letting them do this to us, lock us in our houses, take away our freedom, destroy our economy, bankrupt our businesses, put us out of work.”
This is a coup and they’re not going to stop. I personally believe there were more players than the Chinese involved in this.
Keep drinking the Koolaid. If you believe that I have a cool bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. The typical dust mask doesn't even stop dust very well. Particles of Covid 19 virus are one tenth the size of particles found in cigarette smoke. Their only useful function is to disrupt the spray pattern when somebody sneezes. If you are not sneezing in an enclosed space with other people around they are a useless item meant only to make covidiots feel safer when going out.
‘...and gives the scolds you might meet up with a reason to scold you for not wearing one.’
I have until recently been debating these times on the local FB page, and it has not been pretty; some of these people I knew, and we will not be friends after this is over...
Say It Loud...
I’m Mayor and I’m Proud.
Unless the mask is an N 95 surgical mask, it stops nothing, all germs, bacterium and viruii pas right through in both directions.
My wife saw a guy who’s mask was knitted. Awesome way to show your disgust.
I just got one with TRUMP 2020 imprinted on it.
