The new style.
The new style.
Globalism brings disease as well as goods. It happened with the Silk Road with 300 years of the Black Death, it will happen anytime you have the unimpeded flow of people. A smarter globalism will have to replace the stupid variety we have now.
Any disease that crops up in any part of the world can be here in 18 hours. Maybe we need to bring back the 40 day quarantines and apply them to people and goods. Otherwise we will end up like the South East Asian people who customarily wear masks.
What am I missing?
We know who is vulnerable. Those people need to protect themselves. Their doctors and family must step up - HCQ, isolation, whatever. The rest of us - can we live our lives, please?
Wearing a mask is unhealthy!
I have only worn a mask once since this hullabaloo started. Last week, at my oncologist’s office. They made me put it on outside before they let me come in for my six-month. I think I’d go starkers having to wear one all day.
The introvert’s wet dream...
Some will, some won’t.
Bring back supply chains, strengthen our borders, and quarantine people and goods who want in for 40 days.
I was at a meeting yesterday to reopen a thrift store rural south Texas. The board of nine people, all without masks, passed by majority vote that everyone in the store must wear a mask at all times. No sense of irony. Having voted against it, I then proposed that it a set termination date be put on the rule to expire in one week. I was told, “Mask wearing is the new normal, get used to it, it is not going away.” I thought to myself: it will never be enforceable and it will go away- it may take a blue state red state civil war- but it will go away. I’m not a surgeon in an operating room- I don’t wear a mask. Where do these people get their talking points? CNN?
We have seen other makeshift solutions: the water bottle with the bottom cut out of it is a good example. If we are going to need to control droplets, there will be a better solution that someone will come up with.
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?)
The thing is, we are currently using a less-than-optimal thing because the propeller-heads haven't come up with that something better.
In recent days, I have seen discarded masks lying in gutters. Some of these will eventually be washed into the ocean via storm drains. For years, environmentalists have been warning about the threat that plastic bags pose to the ecology, but what about the millions of masks that will eventually be discarded?
When the civil war finally starts for real, the masks should provide an excellent way of identifying the enemy.
Think of all the money we’d save on dental work!
The democrat politicians want the mask of obedience worn at all times except by them of course.
Masks are the MAGA hats for the Left.
Wash your hands, use a kleenex and damn it....stay home if you're sick.
“Will We Wear Masks Forever?”
Maybe...in democrat big cities. I could care less what they do.
Maskists....Maskism
some of us don’t wear them now
Face masks appear to be the ultimate tool in Virtue Signalling.
No they will never completely go away and will divide us even further..
Anybody with half a brain realizes this mask thing is totally stupid - and is a 100% Democrat virtue signaling nonsense
Doubt me? Look at all the Karen’s driving around in their freaking vehicles with the mascon please explain that to me
Look at all the Karen’s on a hiking trail wearing a mask
Look at all the Karen’s who have the mask off and they see me coming up the hill on my bike and then they quickly put on their masks
First of all the only reason why you should ever wear a mask is because of pollution I wore a mask during the terrible fires here in 2017 and 2018 because the air quality was so freaking poor I didn’t want to destroy my lungs
When it comes to viruses masks are almost completely worthless unless you’re on a subway or in an airplane and even then it’s marginal at best
I’ve been telling everybody in my town upside down backwards and inside out just wear a bandanna and I noticed in all my favorite stores everybody’s followed my lead and it’s just wearing a bandanna bandanna does not restrict your breathing actually looks pretty cool makes you look like a cowboy and you can just leave it around your neck for the most part nobody gives a crap
And again this is only because the directors of our health departments are making us do this to walk into a store
So here’s my advice unsolicited just tie a bandanna around your neck in areas where you have to comply with the mask rule and don’t do anything else
