The masks were a huge joke esp. those blue paper ones.
Those stickers on the grocery store floor SAVED MY LIFE!
I still see people wearing them in public.
And alone in their car. Just because they wear them doesn’t mean they’re affective. All they are are moisture barriers, they don’t stop any virus let alone COVID. It’s like using chicken wire fencing to stop flies.
I saw a guy wearing TWO masks and gloves frantically dart through a grocery store when it first opened...hustled out to his car with great haste (didn’t bother to re-rack his cart) whereupon off came the masks and gloves and in went a CIGARETTE.
Looked like something out of a Mel Brooks movie.
And now less than $425 to reach 27% in our freepathon!

Let’s get ‘er done!
Just three days ago I was hiking the Santa Cruz Mountains on the San Francisco Peninsula. It was sunny as can be and there was a nice stiff breeze blowing.
An Asian woman was coming up the trail as I was headed back down. When I was 20 ft away from her, she grabbed her mask, pressed it tightly to her mouth and nose, turned her head away from me, and moved to the far edge of the trail. One misstep and she would have fallen into the ravine.
How’s that for having a brilliant understanding of comparative risks? Her chance of falling into that ravine and getting seriously hurt was 100 million times higher than her chance of catching COVID from a brief encounter with a stranger outdoors while using silly and ineffective protective measures.
children couldn’t visit their parents in senior homes...it just wasn’t right...period.
I was at HEB (grocery store) yesterday in Austin and more people than usual are masking. I’m guessing these are the same folks who have “In this house we believe in science” signs. Morons all.
Any questions?
The higher quality masks did provide some protection for short term exposures but the shielding never made much sense to me. I guess at the beginning of the pandemic they believed that COVID could be transmitted through droplets in the eyes but that was debunked fairly quickly.
SNORT.
CoupFlu policy was NEVER about protecting public health.
Anywhere on the sodding planet.
Good thing nothing happened to startle her.
“I was at HEB (grocery store) yesterday in Austin and more people than usual are masking. I’m guessing these are the same folks who have “In this house we believe in science” signs. Morons all.”
I see them here in the grocery store too. IMHO, having one of those libtard signs in your front yard is an open invitation to home invasion.
‘An Asian woman was coming up the trail as I was headed back down.’
Asian women seem especially insane about this; there’s one in our neighborhood who wears one up to her eyeballs when she’s walking her dogs; when of course she’s outside, all by her lonesome, rarely within 50 feet of anyone else...
All of it was based of feel-good BS. All of it.
