To Mask or Not to Mask?

Do you really want your air intake near your backside

Well. I know they’re called fanny packs. But most people wear them in the front. Near their junk. So technically it would be junk air at the intake, not fanny air.

Eh, good point. Maybe a back pack?

Why can't we compromise and everybody wear a positive pressure plastic bubble on their heads tied to a rechargeable fanny pack purification unit? I don't have the patent. Honest!

Actually, it would need to be negative pressure. The point of masking is to prevent you from inadvertently infecting someone else, after all.

Good news for the anti-maskers:

Fully vaccinated people can gather without masks, CDC says

NEW YORK (AP) — Fully vaccinated Americans can gather with other vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or social distancing, according to long-awaited guidance from federal health officials.

Nope. Calling respiration "spit" is straight-up Alinksy, and while you're okay with it, I'm not. It isn't colloquialism; it's intentional exaggeration to erect and demolish a straw man.

No, it is spit.



When you speak, you spit. When you sneeze, you spit. When you cough, you spit.

That is why we wear masks and distance to reduce (not eliminate) the range and effectiveness of the spit cloud from talking, sneezing, coughing. We wear masks and distance for others, not for ourselves. Public health officials did a miserable job of education the public and politicians cynically took advantage of the ignorance at large.

But, there is good news on the horizon, CDC says no mask if you have been vaccinated. We are on the way to ending this political debate.

What is disgusting is that not doing the right thing has turned into some form of political protest or statement. We have Buck Sexton whining like a toddler about "a rag" on his face. My hope is that this political anti-mask morality play ends soon with the vaccination pushing us into herd immunity.

Let me get this straight, you need to wear a mask to prevent kung-flu unless you're vaccinated. If you're vaccinated, you don't need to wear a mask even though you can still get kung-flu. Makes perfect sense.

That's been part of it hasn't it, to carrot and stick coerce vaccination compliance?
The stick is coming.

Let me go way out on a limb and predict that the same anti-maskers are going to be anti-vaccine.

Sure, just show your vaccine papers at the door

 

[BugI02]

Yup. 5k will be the cut off.

If we get a new one there will not be so much foolishness.

It could have been a poll

To mask or not to mask? 'B', definitely 'B'

The spittle from speaking is easily avoided by social distancing.

No need to conflate with sneezing and coughing, as both are symptoms of illness and this discussion is about compelling those who are not symptomatic to wear a mask.

As for all of those: the issue being taken is that those who are minding their own business, not interacting with others (i.e. not talking to others, etc.), being compelled to wear masks.

And as for me, this has nothing to do with "doing the right thing" or not. My issue is with government compulsion.

Anti vaccine mandate, yes.

I'll get the vaccine (it is pretty much inevitable, given my line of work, anyway). I won't virtue signal about it, though. (If I don't post about it on social media, did I really even get the vaccine?)

Probably a lot of overlap there.
With masks I figger stop upsetting people; when lost in a Roman wilderness of pain (thank you Jim Morrison) do as the Romans do. With vaccines I take the globalists at their word.

Any idea how this thread made the transition, without being restarted, that so many other threads did not?

The transition was done in steps. The ones I be-booted were in one of those steps that seemed to go sideways.
Tex said this site package is "HUGE" and was a serious deal to move.

Hehe... CM said "huge package"... hehe...

And I will go out on a limb and predict that the same arrogant, we know it all elites that are what Lenin called, useful idiots, will force their will through the power of a communistic approach administered by the government/corporate state...

 

[churchmouse]

And I will get out there as well.
Any "Poo" ball slinging will be met with harshly. I have a new extended handle "Max" fly swatter and dyeing to use it.
