The Coronavirus thread

I don’t know one person who’s ever said they “love” wearing a face mask.

Let’s just file this as another Duffman “exaggeration” to try to make a point….

"The mask gives us a sense of security and makes us feel more comfortable," Smerling said. "We can be a little bit more private and a little bit more selective in how we want to show our faces."

She said some people appreciate that masks free them up from social niceties like smiling at others. Mask-wearing may also help reinforce a sense of community.

"Love" might be too strong for many who will continue to mask after the pandemic, though I did find (with the simplest of searches) articles behind paywalls that mentioned "loving" masks in the title...

Masks are also great for the criminal element--a mask and a hat help cover up their identities as the attack stores and steal stuff. So they may "love" using them in their chosen line of work.

Everybody hates masks
Its just that smart people hate the virus more

Quote: RonC

I see lots of those smart people wearing masks alone in their cars.

Our governor learned her lesson last year about masks, she
ain't going down that road again. She's up for re-election next year.

Quote: Mission146

Ha! As if you had to worry about me coming there. I’ll never visit Oregon as long as I live, much less move to the miserable hellhole.

This is kind of fascinating:

56% of Mississippi’s population is white. They make up 70% of new COVID cases, up from 25% of cases in May 2020.



Black vaccination rates exceed white vaccination rates in MS.

Again: survival of the smartest.

What was in the news April - August that things changed so much?

Quote: ams288

April 2020 was when Donny suggested his supporters drink bleach and stick a UV flashlight up their ass.

June 2020 was when he started his rallies again and killed Herman Cain.

What changed was that he was desperate for an easy solution, there weren’t any, so he started pretending Covid didn’t exist.
