To Mask or Not to Mask?

[24Carat]

I have been trying to avoid it like a plague! Last week my employer mandated it when in direct contact with customers (Automotive retail sales). I was basically pissed because with a big bushy goatee, it sucks. We are provided the typical pleated light blue masks. I little close inspection had me realizing that 2 or 3 pleats can be pulled apart on each side to make wearing one more tolerable.

Ehh.... I can’t find it again now, (stupid FB app)... but i saw a headline this morning that said that “experts” are saying Americans might be wearing masks for the next several YEARS. Well, some might. Not me.

They better pass an actual law if they expect that to be the case...

So much that one can not shovel through it in a full days work.

This is crap people. Pure and simple. Crap.

514 new cases in Indiana and how many are actually the beer virus....how many. Asking for a friend.
19 deaths and 8 of those were from numbers back in April so I have seen.
I am sick of this. Not sick from it but of it.

My employer mandated masks late last week. When they came to hand me one I politely said I will not wear one and if this is a problem they will need to terminate me right then. The issue was left alone.
I have friends at some of our other shops that did have covid and said the same thing. As well as one employee who’s mother died in the Anderson nursing home we all heard about. All of us agreed and stood together that masks are useless. The company now changed its mind on masks. They are optional

Make a stand. Stop the intrusions.

I might be less pissed if I hadn’t been labeled “essential” and been forced to come into work for the last 3 months while most of my coworkers stayed home and “worked”. I’ve been here every ****ing day. What ****ing good is a damn mask at this point?

this is so far beyond closing the barn doors after the cows have left. This is the cows left, we’re caught, slaughtered and we just finished the last of the hamburger and just NOW decided to check the door. ****ing morons

i wear a mask when I go places because I believe that it's a practical manner, the faster we get out of this disease and return to normal life, and past the spikes, we can stop the gov spending in the trillions of dollars, secondly, the constitution states to promote general welfare of the people and if you intentionally put people in danger and put the most vulnerable of our community at risk, you are not promoting the general welfare of the citizenship.

We will never be past it. The sooner people realize this the sooner we can stop the stupidity. It was suppose to be two weeks (only fools thought this though) then it was a month, now people are talking years. It should be clear to people now that we cannot stop the virus, only figure out how to treat it. Trying to hide from it only prolongs the ability for governing bodies to try and exert more control over the populous.

2020 is canceled, bring on 2021!

While it's good to have a skeptical view of authority, having a reflexive opposition to anything suggested by an elected official is no different than the stereotypical "bootlicker's" reflexive obedience.

At least that's probably what the 'bootlicker' is telling himself

This does seem to be a part of the “mask up, Indiana” thing. Any idea that TPTB think are for your own good, is worth mandating.

They don’t have to. They’ll just threaten to pull business licenses and whatnot for any business not doing their part.

I made the mistake of clicking on the twitter feed of Gov. Holcomb’s mask up tweet. Oh my... The number of folks imploring him to make this mandatory is truly depressing.

Could be they've been reading INGO and determined that sage advice from experts in met with derision and animosity.

This. Some of the same 'experts'/organizations now saying WuVid is airborne/aerosol, when previously they said it wasa primarily hitchhiking on droplets. If true (which I doubt) then it means cloth masks are even more useless than we thought. Coincidently, transmission via aerosols would play right into lockdown2

Its like a running play in football. They'll keep running the same script until we make them stop

The koolaid has been consumed. The script has been written and now must be followed.

Printcraft has expanded my horizons!

I’ve got some sage derision and animosity I’ve not even begun to direct their way yet.
