To me, mask are ineffective. They are a clear symbol of someone that is willing to sacrifice freedom for safety. With that said, if you have medical condition and you feel better wearing a mask, go ahead. But why didn't you do that in the flu season two years ago?
Dr. Deborah Birx, pulchritudinous, really? Additionally, the goal posts keep moving...first, no masks, they’re not necessary. Then, stay home and close all non-essential business for a few weeks (then months, then ?) as that will eradicate the virus. Then you can’t go to church or shopping, but you can gather in large crowds for “mostly peaceful protests”, now, everyone wear masks for 4-6 weeks. Add to the equation the misinformation/disinformation about numbers, cases, contacts, actions by Governors putting COVID patients in nursing homes and other Governors trying to regulate every aspect of daily life, travel, etc., forget it. Then add the fact that there is $$$ to be made on research, padding numbers of patients for reimbursements at hospitals, $$$ for developing vaccines...forget it. Lastly, it’s an election year...so you can doubly count on politics being involved. Sorry, the CDC, Fauci, Birx, et al, no longer have credibility. You want to wear a mask? Fine, then wear one. For others that don’t want to? Fine, don’t, but realize you may be restricted from where you can enter (business choice) and what you can do in the public...life is about choices and balancing freedom vs. risk. This is America (still) and we balance freedom vs. risk, every day...this is just another one of those things balance freedom and risks.
I only saw yours. (I didn’t want anyone to think it was my “work”.) ;)
We did not wear masks and flattened the curve.
The virus went down. Now that masks were implemented, the virus is coming back.
I call BULLSHIP it can be stopped in 2-4 weeks.
The 1918 Spanish Flu is still around. Viruses do not go away. As soon as you stop with mitigation it will return.
Time for herd immunity and protect the vulnerable.
That’s fine ... that’s your choice of course. But be honest with yourself that a mask does not “protect the insides” from a virus. From dust, smoke many germs ... but not a virus. Don’t “follow the science” as politicians, unelected bureaucrats, the media, et al. preach ... really follow the science ... and added bonus is that you’ll understand why universal mask-wearing and anti-social distancing have had little effect on “stopping the spread” ... things will begin to make sense ... reality will finally arrive. Cheers!
Also, I buy as much as I can online for store pickup, but the local Publix doesn't offer it (sad face)...
Demorats assure us that masks work .....Sooooo-oooo then everybody can vote ‘in person’ in the Presidential election!
Exactly, welcome to the herd.
He seems to not be aware of this - not just the extent - but unaware of the entire set of realities whatsoever.
The pandemic must be over in NYS, the stores are going back to eliminating plastic bags and mandating you bring your own filthy dirty covid laced reusable bags to help the transfer.
Its the same as getting a horse used to a bit...
Political social fear conditioning.
Find something the people fear and make them turn on each other. Snitch on each other...castigate..lord over, Karenize.
Feel the power of control by standing on the soapbox of fear of the lower class failing to follow your rules. And then having the power to punish them, possibly making yourself wealthy on it...
I voted in the primary...no mask.
I don’t see why not.
Remember a few weeks ago when it was all about “Don’t touch your face?” Well, now we are being told to wear masks all the time. Have you seen these health “experts” on TV? Constantly tugging at, adjusting, lowering, and raising their masks which must certainly be filled with bacteria and all manner of deadly viruses. And then those filthy hands touch many other surfaces. Masks will spread the virus more quickly.
not surprisingly, the conflict has continued to heat up, and now it has led to full-fledged warfare, with each side taking up arms against the other and blood being spilled.(mask advocates vs. non-maskers)
Not quite. Most non-maskers just want to be left alone and don’t care if someone wears a mask or not.
I like the mask that says “as useless as our governor”
I vote no on masks. My assumption is they don't work and to keep my distance from people and wash my hands. That said I wear masks when required for shopping.
It seems that the waste receptacle is the gutter around here.
