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?

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.

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.

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?

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!
