Maybe much like learning a foreign language, this sort of knowledge is absorbed much more readily when we’re young. Most of us had the privilege of learning at the age of 4 or 5 about germs and transmission and what we were supposed to do to prevent disease. Washing our hands, and covering our mouths when we cough and sneeze.
I’m astounded we have so many adults wandering around who seem to be oblivious to the role the respiratory system plays in disease spread.
Right-
it's common sense, it's rudimentary, it's common knowledge, 4 yr olds understand....
and yet, no one (or almost no one) wore masks during flu season before the scamdemic.
Sorry Bubba, I will continue to do the right thing and wear two masks in public...Sad that you believe such nonsense, and it may be fatal for you as well.
Is that what they're telling you in Canada? Wear 2 masks?
To get around the mask requirement in the stores, I wear a face shield. Even in places like Costco, it's an accepted alternative to wearing an actual mask.
For me, masks are extremely uncomfortable and stifling, and the thought of having to wear something on my face just makes my skin crawl. It can also stir up feelings of extreme rage, although I've yet to act out in public. I certainly understand why there are so many violent reactions between mask-nazis and free-facers. I'd love to witness one in person, just so I can throw in my support behind the free-facer (and perhaps prevent physical altercation.)
My biggest fear through this whole thing is that this will go on for years and years, perhaps even forever. I simply cannot cope with living in a masked-up society. It's just not going to work for me.
Next Wednesday, I'm going down the central part of Florida, deep in conservative-land in the hopes of finding a place where masks are optional instead of mandatory. If I find such a place, I might be getting in touch with some local Realtors in the area.
The virus is gonna run, masks or not. In fact, my pet theory that universal masking is actually "teaching" the virus to spread faster and easier, bypassing the flimsy barrier of the mask. Hence, these new worrisome strains they keep talking about. If only they'd just let this thing run its natural course back in the early days, I think we could be talking about the end of this whole thing right about now.
But no, government types and mask-nazi's drunk on power will do anything in their power to keep this nightmare going - possibly for the rest of my days.

Not me, I'll fight this to the grave.
May I suggest losing the face shield and joining the good fight? You are just the sort of the person that is needed for the cause.

Oh yeah, the face shield is gone once I get my 2nd shot. I've already got "I've been vaccinated" buttons to show the maskers that I'm no longer a risk to them in public.
The question is, how soon can I get the vaccine?
In the meantime, off to Florida I go.
