Well that kind of hurts

A good friend is a medical professional. This person wanted me to take a cooking class, in Michigan.  Well, the description said that masking was totally required for the whole thing.  

I like learning new things but really honestly couldn’t stand to be masked for three or four hours straight.  So I’m taking a pass on the class.  We’re going to dinner instead.  

But in a soft soothing voice, like the one you use with small children, animals, or lackwits, I get asked ‘You have to wear a mask to the table at the restaurant, can you manage that? I know your idea that masking isn’t necessary increases your discomfort with it.‘  Maybe, from their side of the divide, a fair point, but just annoying and hurtful on my side.  

It’s awesome being treated like I’m ready to start licking the windows on the short bus by someone I’ve known since I was a kid.  

Just because common sense says that masks don’t work.  BTW, this person figures another six months of this stupidity.

  1. Do masks work? The correct answer is yes…. to a limited extent. Viruses are SO SMALL that NO mask can stop them. But viruses DO NOT travel alone. They hitch rides on droplets of moisture that are exhaled/expelled by infected people. And it is the droplets that a mask CAN stop. But if you don't change or wash your mask frequently it becomes saturated and no longer healthy or useful. And the majority of viral respiratory illnesses are transmitted via fomites…..hand to face. Good hand hygiene is MORE important than wearing masks. But realistically the mask mandate has almost nothinnto do with preventing illness and is almost totally about CONTROL. The only thing people in power care about.

  3. Sigh… Just deal with them and move on. Negativity not needed.

  4. Dan–I wasn't precise with my wording. Mask mandates don't work. Lockdowns don't work. Masks in certain, limited circumstances might help, but judging from the numbers from mandate vs non mandate states, they don't make a difference. I agree that they are all about control–the lockdowns and social distancing are designed to create a generation of sociopaths–much like the Romanian experiments with children back in the 60s.CC-I will if you will!Old NFO–It turned out to be a good trip. We just decided there were certain things we weren't going to discuss.
