The Babylon Bee posted a good one about masks and I thought it might be worth to share. https://babylonbee.com/news/baptists...t-liquor-store

Clark Fork, Idaho. Almost nobody wears masks there. However, yesterday I called my handyman who lives there. He said he and his wife came down with Covid-19, which was "running rampant" through the town. Good luck, Thinker!

In freezing temperatures, virus transmission is higher than in warm humid temperatures.

Come on folks - get your poop together and understand that although it's painful, the fast we suck it up the sooner it is gone.
Well, it was in Southern Texas, so not cold and dry. Nope. Extremely little chance of contagion ...

Yes, people generally don’t wear masks outside in FL. Sanity still reigns ...

A clue of where to begin would be nice, however. Anybody on here know of a place where everybody in public is free-facing it? A place where people go to music festivals and dance their cares away, a place where all the hugs are free. A place that makes you feel like it's 2019 all over again.

Help a brother out and point me in the right direction.
Good luck with that. In Oklahoma, where there is no statewide mask mandate, the bars have been permitted to go back to closing at 2 am. It had been 11 pm. Even so, I won't be at a bar tonight, especially at midnight. Daily covid cases here are still well into the double digits 88 on Wednesday and 67 today. This, even though masks are required here. But if cases stay up, I bet the city council will vote to extend the mandatory mask ordinance when it expires in February.

I haven't heard of a Oklahoma town where there is no mandatory mask ordinance and everybody doesn't wear masks.

I heard south Dakota has no mask mandates and it's free there. But the weather might make you to change your mind there. i checked the weather there for this week it does not seem too bad.

The governor seems cool. they like freedom.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8GTo32eW4o

His point went right over your head. Unsurprisingly.

Plenty of ppl in taiwan still wear masks. That's WHY the virus is virtually non existent there. Furthermore, the country is also completely closed off to foreigners without taiwanese citizenship. They don't want anyone spreading the Trump virus over there, and i don't mean covid19. As for the actual virus, I suspect when they open up, they'll need proof of vaccination and a covid test before you'll be allowed to roam free in their country.
