I will freely admit I wear the mask wrong. Because it's stupid and a tyrannical exercise of power that I must bow to because I'd like to buy food AND I'd rather not hassle the poor workers who have been forced to be enforcers for the state's edicts.
This disease isn't that bad. This isn't the Andromeda strain like so many of my wife's millennial friends believe.1
FURTHER, I haven't seen any information about asymptomatic transmission in some time. IF you are supposed to stay home when you are sick, then the masks are only there for asymptomatic transmission. What is the likelihood of an asymptomatic carrier passing the disease? (Not the virus (SARS-CoV-2), as we seem to be measuring, but actually passing the disease (COVID-19)). That's rather important, but no one is reporting what the chances of passing it asymptomatically are.2
IF, instead, this is about people going out while sick and we're just making EVERYONE wear masks because we don't want the sick people to feel like they are singled out, then that is exactly the kind of stupid philosophy the liberals have taught in schools RATHER THAN something actually beneficial.
HOW ABOUT we insist people with any symptoms wear masks and let the rest of the people go about their business normally? Also stop making children wear masks when it has been known worldwide and shown REPEATEDLY even in this country that they are neither at risk for the disease nor vectors for it.
But, nope. Even children are forced to wear masks under the orders of our arbitrary and capricious leaders.
1: Seriously, one told his roommates that they have "HIS BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS" if they go out. He's in his 30s and otherwise healthy, but is certain the Wuhan coronavirus is going to kill him.
2: Maybe I'm just missing it, but this was something greatly discussed at the beginning of the pandemic that, like death rate, seems to just have been dropped from the reporting...
