Default Covid behavior

Just saw this on twitter
"Aside from wearing a mask while driving alone, what is the most absurd thing you’ve witnessed a human do involving COVID?"

Some responses-
"Cutting a hole in the mask to smoke"
"masked on a scooter but no helmet"
"masked on a bicycle WITH the helmet hanging on the handle bars."
"Masks while swimming in the ocean. A whole family. In the ocean. Swimming. At the beach...in the ocean."
"wipe their dog with a wet wipe after someone else touched it "
"I saw someone eating a cheeseburger with two both hands while using on hand to pull their mask down while touching not only the inside but also the outside of the mask in between bites."

Believing that masks work at all - anyone watching the data can see they don't. Kind
Of like installing a chain link fence to keep out mosquitos.

However, the most absurd thing I see is people who don't get vaccinated and say it's just the flu. 2000 of them died yesterday in the USA.

Please stop with this incorrect and pot stirring information.

I think it fair to surmise that about 85% of people here in The Villages are vaccinated, and many are again wearing masks indoors because of the high contagion of the Delta Variant. I know several Villagers who have become sick with the break through illness.

Most of US are tired of this foolishness.

What is "incorrect" about the post?

And to add to the list, I saw a video of a woman using her mask to pick up after her dog, drop the poop in a trash can and then put the same mask back on...

Don't believe me?

Woman Picks up dog poop with face mask and puts mask back on. - YouTube

And please, speak for yourself, not "most of us"...

Didn't get vaccinated, got Covid. It was just the flu! Never went to the doc except to get tested. It did last about twice the time though. No biggie. 64, 6', 165lb, 2 auto immune diseases, and exercise regularly.
I have since then rcvd the J/J shot but only because I needed the card to travel out of country.
The most absurd thing I see is people who are obese (over 40% of us, nearly 20% morbidly obese) sitting at a restaurant instead of walking around it for maybe 40 laps instead of going in.

Florida set up 25 monoclonal antibody sites across Florida, and we’ve seen about a 70% reduction in COVID-19 hospitalizations.

Early treatment saves lives, even those that took the vaccine which is lagging behind.

Look at Australia...ouch...I am surprised the US did not go in Iraq style and take down the the leaders for crimes against humanity. Not to late to still fix and should be done.

Unless you are wearing an N95 mask you are only fooling yourself. Per the science.
