Masks = virtue signaling.

Fine by me. As long as they are not mandated for we who don't want to wear them, I could not care less who wears useless masks in public today. If it makes the paranoid feel better, that is their business.

I do laugh at it however.

You see 100 people somewhere and 2 are masked up and it is not as if the other 98 are falling like flies. But hey, if reducing your oxygen intake in public for the rest of your life helps you sleep at night, have at it.

Why do you laugh since you have no idea why they wear one. We have so many Asians in our country who have worn them for years. Did you laugh at them as well.

Do they not believe in the science now?
To protect themselves from the BS he's spewing.

The fact that there WERE mandates is the point. The left now either pretends there were no mandates or wants to play nice and talk about the virtues of choice. Very convenient position but I think this is a "teaching moment" for them. I'd hate to let it go to waste.

Just today the SCOTUS allowed a mask mandate rule for the TSA to stay in force.
Agreed. Having my mask around my neck is part of my daily routine for getting dressed. For whatever doctor's office I walk into, have to be in lots of them, lots of people are wearing masks and I follow their practices, their rules.



Now, as far as "science" goes.......who in their right mind believes the news anymore?

Kind of off subject....A vlogger I watch on YouTube named "Gabriel Traveler" who travels all over the world is now in Japan. Everyone is wearing a mask outside, in the Cities and out in the country,,,,everyone. Gabriel has chosen not to wear a mask outside but does inside. Apparently one has a choice outside but not inside. I realize they are very close to China. I'm curious to know the mindset of the Japanese people in regards to this virus and perhaps dealing with nasty things coming out of China for decades. Paranoia perhaps?

It is their right to wear masks and his right to comment on it. Your point is silly.

Masks are required at the McMurdo base in Antarctica in an effort to stop the spread of Covid. A friend who is working there says there are 90 active cases out of 1000 people on base.
So mask wearers in Antarctica have a rather large outbreak. Hmm, seems like masks aren't effective. No?

It's a cult. Logic has no place in cultish thinking.

Why anyone wears or doesn't wear a mask is none of your business.
