Yup. The 6pm news here is basically a COVID/Jab infomercial.

They made it so the average person thinks 10 million people are dead and even 30 year olds are dying in droves.

Exactly. It’s easier to keep the mask on, when driving from one place to another. I even forget I’m wearing a mask sometimes.

I live in Japan . I was in Fukuoka last week - population 1 and a half million . Other than myself , on the street and in the station , etc...I saw 3 people WITHOUT masks the whole time I was there . 80% of people in cars wear masks . The kids wear masks while playing in the park because their schooteachers and parents tell them to . Crazy flucking world .

If you’re on your way to the grocery store, you’ll be wearing a mask to go in the store. There’s a stoplight near my store and I sometimes put the mask on when the light is red as I’m about to turn into the parking lot.

It literally takes three seconds to put on a mask.

I keep mine in my pocket and just about when I'm entering the store, I slap it on. The as soon as I exit the doors, I rip it off and stuff it back in my pocket for next time.

It's utter nonsense and I would love to just walk through the grocery store without a mask and trigger all the Karens. But that is not the hill to die on. Plus I need my groceries so getting banned from my local grocery store is not a good move.

Having a mask on when you are in your car just makes you look stupid.

It would be more hazardous, as well as more time consuming, to take off the mask between stops.

How would it be either hazardous or time consuming?

It is not a bunny suit. It can be removed in a fraction of a second.

As for hazardous... please.

Doesn’t matter what kind of mask either or if you have a full beard. Any piece of cloth hanging on your face magically prevents spread of this virus.

It’s comical seeing a big ole burly guy who has a full beard wearing one of those little china made surgeon’s mask.

Wearing your mask below your nose seems to be ok too.

I put one on approaching a drive thru window at McD’s, too.

Good grief.

I have found that my mask tends to ride up the bridge of my nose and interferes with my ability to see things right below me.

Just the other day I walked into a Wet Floor sign knocking it over.

If masks do limit your field of vision and/or distract you in any way, then you are an idiot and a fool to drive with one on.

“Numerous high-ranking officials took part in the lie that mask’s aren’t effective, including Dr. Anthony Fauci. They defend the lie now by noting, correctly, that we needed to conserve as many masks as we could for health care workers who truly needed them.”

________________________________

NO! NO! NO! TOTAL F*CKING BULLSH*T!

So many people this past year have been wearing what kind of masks? Cloth masks! Made from the kind of cloth one can get at the crafts stores! And these same type of cloth masks, in all sort of patterns and emblems on them, are sold in all sorts of stores and made by different companies. Women can even buy yoga pants with matching masks!

The CDC isn’t saying don’t wear cloth masks now and wasn’t months ago. They are saying wear masks period.

The CDC could have said from the beginning to wear a cloth mask. It would have had no impact on the availability of medical grade masks for medical staff.

Sorry for the ! points. I am not a bigger user of them usually. But this stupid “point” made by this author and many others who have made the same one, really p*sses me off.

Idiocy. Idiocy. That is the only thing. Perhaps fear, but...if you are that afraid, you have bigger issues.

I cannot even ascribe it to Sheep Behavior. It is people who are nearly mentally ill with fear, and people who are determined to virtue signal because they believe in "The Covid Cause".

And for them, it is "a cause".

I was listening to Dennis Prager last week and a guy called in to say the reason he wore a mask inside his car was that it was too big of a problem to take off his mask between going to the grocery store and his work place.

This seems pretty normal to me. Yeah, I had the mask on inside my car — for the 20 seconds it took me to enter the parking lot and park. I put one on approaching a drive thru window at McD’s, too. Take it off as I drive away.

Why is this a big deal?

I agree. Occasionally I have my mind on how much I spend and drive half a mile before I realized I still have the damn thing on. I make no judgments about the people I seeing wearing masks who are driving around in the heavy strip mall areas.

“””Intentions aside, people are getting two messages. The first is that the truly responsible people are still wearing their masks”””


This describes my sister-in-law and her husband to a Tee.

Both have been vaccinated and still they wear masks because they do not want to infect anyone!!!!!!

You ain't seen nuthin’ yet! Wait till they tell us we have to wear our underwear on the outside so that the Underwear Police can see if it's clean.

Violators will be put into quarantine.

On another thread, this morning, there is a conspiracy theory mentioned that maybe people wear a mask when alone in their car to resist the urge to lick the windows.

That really is sick puppy territory.

I suspect this goes way beyond mere convenience or safety when driving between locations that are in close proximity. Out of the many people I've seen wearing masks while driving, at least half of them have also been wearing rubber gloves in the vehicle.

This is certifiable lunacy.
