The trash didn’t go there by itself, and I didn’t put it there. I see masks all over the place. Discarded intentionally or accidentally.

Fake news! Everyone knows that climate change will burn up all the trash, and life forms won’t be around to see it anyways if it doesnt, so it won’t matter... just 7 more years according to the all knowing savant aoc

If these masks are suppose the catch wuflu germs and, if wuflu germs can make us sick or kill us, shouldn’t any disposed mask be treated like bio hazard material?
