The mask is essentially useless: The mask is not an adequate defense against the COVID-19 virus... The virus checks in at somewhere between 0.06 and 0.14 microns, meaning its too small for any commercially available mask to effectively filter it out. The pores on an N95 mask, which are the best masks youre reasonably going to find, and the vast, vast majority of you are not going to have N95 masks but rather cloth masks, which perform far less well, are 0.3 microns

Staten Island a mob of karens forced a woman from a store for not wearing a mask and they were not at all polite about it; they were vicious. This is all the end result of the wholly unnecessary lockdown of the American economy which was based on fallacious science from the outset. It is the distillation of the cultural divide. We are a nation split between the fearful, those easily frightened by anything they read in the mainstream media, and the not-by-nature fearful who are justifiably suspicious of the nonsense spewed forth by the mainstream media

a carefully-constructed hoax, a treasonous attempt to overthrow a duly elected President in order to cover up their many crimes .

Heroes of the left, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx have been wrong, wrong, wrong. Long ago the great Thomas Sowell wrote that It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
The lockdown was never needed. The hospitals were never overrun, the mortality rate has been a fraction of what the scientists predicted. The data has all been corrupted.

I still continue to question face mask effectiveness. Our county had a recent big outbreak at a meat packing plant. By the time the outbreak happened, this was a well known problem in the industry. Just the other day an assisted living center got hit with 7 cases.
I am spreading that one....
The face mask is todays symbol of subservience. To be further know as The SOS.
Unfortunately you are right.
I wish the left, including Fauci, WHO and the "media" hadn't politized it.
The answer is they are not effective
Got a call yesterday from my dental office yesterday. I am getting a teeth cleaning and checkup on Monday. I suspect the dental hygienist and possibly the dentist will be wearing the N95 masks. I think it is unlikely the counter help will be doing the same....
I worked in customer service at a corporate level. Karens have existed forever, but with the advent of video on your phone....it seems theyve achieved a new level of annoying.
I always told my staff that if these folks got to me, I was not going to invest a lot of time with them. They were empowered to make Karen happy. If Karen got to me and was not happy with my answer...I gave them the speech about how sometimes we have to fire customers. Those conversations happened 3 or 4 times a year. They were fun.
Social media has made companies afraid of Karens. If your staff is trained correctly, Karens never flourish.
I like that. Only works for people able to read though. That rules out a lot of Karens.
I’m not the guy who stated ‘Labels accomplish absolutely nothing’ and then proceeded to label a whole group of people.
I think Conservatives make a mistake when we try to shame people on the mask issue. It just perpetuates the game were trying not to play.

I do not engage w/progs. In fact, I would simply laugh, shake my head, and walk away if confronted. But I haven’t been. I’m one of the visibly vulnerable and no one seems to GAF if I’m masked.
And last week, I ate in a restaurant in a city of over 50k and none of the kitchen workers were masked, the cashier used a plexi shield and one customer (50% capacity & steady traffic) was masked.
But, that said:
Do not allow them to have the 1st or last word, should it come to words.
If they are masked, it doesn’t matter if I am. Back when the progs were anti-vax (3 months ago), that was what they said about vaccines: “If you get one, I’m protected.” Hold them to it.
Masks are muzzles.
I am an American.
“ThE bulk of our obesity population is black women and some Hispanics”
I live in Appalachia. The white women and men are all obese-morbidly obese. Except for the wealthier women who are all fit and trim.
My sister come in from DC/Northern Va -million dollar plus hour territory. Can’t believe all the fat people.
I go to her house. Fitness gyms literally on every corner. All women in tight yoga pants and stunning.
If my wife died I would have to go somewhere else to find mate as I am not a chubby chaser.
Margaret, the annoying know-it-all older girl in “Dennis the Menace,” was a Karen before the term was invented.
When you cease two-fisted drinking of the Kool-Aid, look up the word “sarcasm”...
...and “irony”...
You and me both

There are just as many articles saying why you should wear one. It’s actually up to the person unless a store requires so.
As for the masks they are useless..- Nano-pathologist Dr. Stefano Montanari..
Useless to who? There’s two sides to that coin as we all know. People are certainly able too decide on their own to wear or not.
What incredible stupidity!
It’s not a political or cultural decision
People have lots of reasons for wearing masks. Whatever protection they can provide for the frail at their homes loving people will provide.
No matter how small.
And those with no such reason don’t.
It is the mandate, not the mask.
