So, when will you remove the mask? Ever? This fall there will be a seasonal flu and guess what? It’s contagious. What are you and all the Lemmings going to do? Where your mask forever?

If they had masks that said Titleist or Gucci many would probably sleep with them on. lol

Science constantly builds on its base of knowledge. Hypothesis proven, begets new hypothesis, thus expanding the frontier of knowledge. Science is as close as you get to mathematics, which is as close as you get to absolute, irrefutable knowledge.

Seems repeating the message isn't working so well. I don't know what the answer is but I know what isn't working.
Difficult to knock or dismiss the lifesaving qualities of seat belts. Not having basic regulations is like having anarchy. Even the wild-west had traditions, social limitations, and even sheriffs.

Thank you for your service in picking up litter. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

It's going to be too late when people start having problems due to misconceptions about needing to wear these useless masks. Ask any doctor or nurse.
I don't think so.

I feel like the little engine that could. I just keep trying.

I haven't heard of any surgeons keeling over in operating rooms after wearing masks for hours on end without a break. Have you?

For all the time that I have been Luanda around people like in grocery shopping etc I have yet to see anyone sneeze or even cough 😷. That is really the only thing that wearing a mask helps with.

Wear one or not is your choice.

Dayeight99 06-16-2020 07:11 PM
Ok. So we’ll just wear them everyday forever. Just like underwear. Got it.

Hubby’s friend stops by the house. He has a mask hanging on the front of his scooter. He leaves it there. Then he wonders why is he not invited in?

Dayeight99 06-16-2020 07:30 PM
Wake up.

Seriously? :oops:

No matter what power a governor thinks he or she has, you can’t force people to wear masks. It would have to be passed in the state congress as a law. Secondly, it’s impossible to enforce.

Show proof please!
