Everyone is missing the point. Mask wearing outside is not about COVID. The purpose is to prevent facial recognition cameras that watch every move you make. //sarc off//
The germaphobes are on overkill. They are so frightened by King Quack that they wear masks in their cars and homes. Some won’t even go out according to what I’ve heard from spouses, parents and family members.
What King Quack and others are doing is CRIMINAL.
I don’t GAS if people wear a face panties but I won’t tolerate anyone demanding that I don one. Panties are for pussies...
I believe in freedom to choose. People can wear all the masks they desire. They can wear hazard suits for all I care. The fact they do so doesn’t affect anyone else, and doesn’t have any effect on me.
Writers these days.... Reacted with fury but no property was damaged. I would not call that fury. A bunch of tweets are ineffectual rantings. A person in a straightjacket is as dangerous as someone with a thousand fake followers tweeting disapproval. I once looked into starting a Twitter account and I found that you could buy followers by the thousands. If you want to be an influencer you can buy 50,000 followers for a couple hundred bucks and then get all your friends to follow for free. Then you can accumulate followers by retweeting their comments. All you need is for your profile to say you have 70,000 followers and Coca Cola will be scared that your 70,000 followers will stop drinking Coke. Thing is, probably fewer than 1000 followers are actually people and they don’t have enough time to read your tweets. Businesses that act based on Twitter feedback are being foolish.
New Hampshire track coach fired for refusing to make his student athletes wear masks... ~Bradley Keyes blasted ‘senseless, irrational ... bulls-—’ policy in email to Pembroke Academy..
“I will not stand up in front of the kids and lie to them and tell them that these masks are doing anything worthwhile out in an open field with wind blowing and sun shining ... I will not deceive them into thinking that these restrictions are somehow necessary or sensible..

No one should be mocked for wearing a mask or not wearing one. You dont know what their circumstances are. What people should be mocked for is trying to force their views on others
Portland news had a video of a female high school sprinter collapse from wearing the mask.
The Oregon health authorities are slightly loosening masks restrictions on athletes. They won’t admit the video had anything to do with it.
Please don’t discourage these mask wearers. Never before in human history have we had such an opportunity for people to publicly and continuously declare their lack of thought and logic. If they put their masks away, how will we so easily know who’s so bereft of intellect?
Comparing Tucker to that Leftist nut is bullshit.
I like the ones driving alone with the mask firmly in place.
we have masked and gloved up outside neighbors.
Imbeciles!
I agree they are all wusses!
Not quite. He sees thru Bush RINOs better than she does.
Saw an older couple driving in a convertible wearing masks.
Democrats.
I was parked for a few minutes finishing some calls and texts on my cell phone. Beyond the fence at the edge of the parking let was a primary school. It looked like recess time or a limited physical education time.
In the youngest group there was just a handful of youngsters doing a few standard exercises, each masked and each no closer than ten feet or more from another kid. Some of them acted resigned to the limited conditions, while some were showing their angst, like a pony that could not run faster because he was restrained.
In the older group, again all were masked, and again the far distances between them and at the end it was like a line of masked prisoners marching single file, six or more feet apart, back to class.
It was (a) totally, medically, unnecessary and bad, and (b) disgusting to watch.
I wanted to go over to the fence and start berating the teachers for acting on fear and ignorance instead of knowledge.
We have some relatives and friends who have been consumed by fear for the last year. Irrational fear. They are are incapable of functioning normally right now despite having the vaccine and mostly remaining isolated.
We have observed that the thoughts and response to all things Covid are largely dependent on the media they consume. This is also true for others in our social circle. The ones who watch CNN/MSNBC or the networks (some of our older relatives only watch network news at night) are locked down by fear. The ones who watch Fox or watch little news at all are far less paralyzed by Covid.
We try to be polite about it and encouraging, especially with the older folks, but it is the perfect illustration of the power of the media to shape public opinion.
I am convinced that the perception of Covid is solely based on what news you consume for most people who don’t do their own research or seek alternate points of view.
Really. so my nanny with cancer on active chemo is bereft or intellect for wearing a mask? You do not know everyone’s circumstance and insulting them is over the top
Wearing masks cuts transmission of the virus by 80%.
“Wearing masks cuts transmission of the virus by 80%.”
But sitting down in a restaurant cuts transmission by 100%.
