And the irony is that most of the masks that people are wearing are probably ineffective. People touch the front of the mask, don’t wash it or throw it away after each use, stuff it in their purse or pocket, leave it sitting on their car seat, and so forth.
I was recently in a Dollar General store in this state where our Governor has mandated mask wearing. A lady and her FIVE children entered the store, all in masks. As soon as they were through the door though the masks came off of all of them (including Mom) and the kids were running through the aisles screaming. I saw just 2 employees on duty and they weren’t touching this with a 40 foot pole.
Because saying anything to them would have been RAAAAAAAACIST if you get my drift. Whereas if I had taken my mask off as a middle-aged white guy I would have been confronting a SWAT team.
On Sunday, I saw a woman wearing a CROCHETED mask! CROCHETED! It had 1/4" holes in it. The woman was either an absolute moron, or she was being cheeky, borrowing from Rush Limbaugh and demonstrating absurdity by being absurd. My guess is that like most of the population (as evidenced by this whole COVID thing), she's just really that stupid.
