You should report that f’er

You’re not a Karen when you’re doing the right thing

“they told me it was mandatory that I wear one. Guess I’m looking for a new doctor!”

As far as I know, ALL healthcare facilities require masks. I wish I could find one that doesn’t; I’ve tried. (If you find one, and live in E TN, let me know, please!)

That’s right.

MAY

As so much is STILL unknown...it is MAY..with just about everything to do with this disease...including what drugs MAY work on any particular case

The word MAY as it relates to this disease (and the idiots at the CDC) should give you pause..but it probably doesn’t.

Don’t wear a mask if you don’t want to but you should not make fun of people who do.

WHAT ABOUT THE EYES?!?!

Viral Infection of the Lungs through the Eye (Journal of Virology - Jan 2007)
"We establish the eye as a major gateway of lung infection and offer potential strategies for treatment of ocular inflammation and prevention of the disease."

How does Coronavirus enter through your eyes?
"Coronavirus can enter your eyes either through a form of aerosol transmission. This can happen when particles are propelled by somebody with the virus coughing or sneezing. Alternatively, if you have the virus on your hands from touching a contaminated surface and then touch your eyes, you can infect yourself."

If you want to EFFECTIVELY protect yourself against getting Wuhan-19, you MUST include protective eyewere/headware:

“The word MAY as it relates to this disease (and the idiots at the CDC) should give you pause..but it probably doesn’t.”

Everything about the WuFlu has been a “may” situation, since everything the “experts” have told us from Day One has been refuted later. Then it was re-stated and embellished. Then refuted again. Nobody knows the truth about it and, if they did, they wouldn’t tell us if it didn’t further the liberal narrative to take out Trump.

“you should not make fun of people who do.”

I don’t make fun so much; it’s more pity.

It depends on your area.

If I lived in a the middle of nowhere that had no cases I likely wouldn’t use a mask even though I am high risk

But that is not the case for me..and I will stay protected until such time as drugs are readily available that work.

I still see Drs saying they can’t get Genentech’s drug for the cytokine storm phase of this. Since I had a family member die from a cytokine storm I am especially cautious about that particular issue.

I have to go get the brakes on my car fixed. There is no way I am walking into that place without protection.

I have something I am ordering from Bulgaria just for this trip to get my car fixed.

So your point is - because there is a .01% of of the population not recognized or understood as potentially vulnerable to death by covid, we should shut down the country, stay at home, and wear masks?

I said if you don’t want to wear a mask...don’t.
You are taking personal and financial responsibility for your health.

Do what fits you.

But don’t say you know by looking at someone on the street that they aren’t vulnerable.

You have no idea.

Until last night I was separating the disasterous effects of the governors' lockdowns (although these petty tyrants continue to blame "the virus") into severe damage to our economy (business closures; massive layoffs, etc.) and severe harm to our society (anti-social distancing; dehumanizing and anti-social mask-wearing/identity-hiding). But it's clear to me that these effects are truly inseparable.

That is, many businesses cannot function effectively if we must walk about fearful of everyone else and in a state of depression and anxiety resulting from the irrational compulsions to hide our faces and to maintain a 12-foot diameter quarantine zone (a "portable safe space") around each of us. It's a disgusting fad that must not be tolerated (much less encouraged as is the wont of Democrat/Left governors and, of course, "The Experts") lest our economic/societal recovery slow to a crawl ... even slower in most places than is occurring yet today.

From a social interaction perspective, how much enjoyment is there in visiting an amusement park, attending a concert or sporting event, or hosting a barbeque or a party when the attendees appear to be sick and belong in an infirmary ... scared senseless to shake your hand let alone hug an old friend?

These anti-social practices are having nearly as severe an effect on the long-term viablility of many businesses as the continuing lockdowns have had over the past ten weeks. This sh!t -- these disgusting and despicable actions and demands to keep people apart -- has to be condemned in the strongest possible terms and it must come to an end, lest we be faced with some sort of twisted, soul-crushing nationwide version of a Halloween nightmare for the foreseeable future and beyond!

#29 Newsom should be infected with the chinese virus and not given any medicine.
He and the NY mayor are major thieves during this pandemic.

I’m in the middle of nowhere, but I live in a Blue state...dirty looks, cussed out, shaming if you dare not to wear one. I tend to buy online these days. I really feel like my country was taken over in one night while I slept. This is not my America.

Anti mask propaganda?

Wear what you want. I’m not wearing a mask. Unless it benefits me. Hell I might want to rob a bank or loot a store or something.

I think it was Staten Island where they chased someone out not wearing a mask.

I can see where this whole thing could lead to violence in some areas.

For example, a transparent bubble head appliance, with fans, could be designed to be comfortable. Think of some of the space helmets that Hollywood came up with in the 40s and 50s. (How about Mars Attacks?)

I went to visit my dad in his backyard the other day and he greeted me with a space shield type device on. It did look a lot more comfortable than a mask. And it was easier for me to read his facial expression and see his smile and hear him.

I will be contacting any and all companies that demand that I comply. They are privately held, and “The Mask Mandate” is their choice. I choose to take my business elsewhere. They will hear from me, as will Northam, who in fact does not give a damn.
