Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

The far left and the far right have very little you can say is in common with each other except that they both—to their detriment—refuse to go along with the public good if it means they have to think of someone other than themselves. My fairly blue county with far too many wannabe red necks (somehow wannabe red necks are worse than actual red necks) has seen mask wearing plummet. I still see several wear them but not the near 100 percent. Feel bad for the store workers. All I know there are three places I'm avoiding like the plague (pun intended) right now: Walmart, Home Depot and Trader Joes. I'll avoid the dangerous aggravation and go the safeway.

 

On another note, we're going to have one more week of masking at school once we finish Spring Break. A part of me is going to be relieved to not be consistently reminding the same handful of numbskulls to pull their masks up. And they don't do it because it's their free dumbs, but because they're just contrarian to the man. I'm just curious how many are going to keep their masks on and how many are ripping them off and the others who are going to succumb to peer pressure.

 

Hoping the government wins the appeal just for assholes like this guy.

 

Wonder how many of the pilots in question were ex-military. I'd imagine the ranks of commercial pilots skew heavily to the right.

 

The ladyfriend says a lot of her eighth-graders liked being able to hide their braces and acne with the masks.

 

My eighth graders are split between the anxiety about showing their face for the aforementioned reasons and taking the masks off because they can. Some will take them off because they’ll feel like they have to because others are.

My sister’s sixth graders are mostly wearing masks. Only a handful don’t. We’ll see how it his.

 

Hate to say it, but

COVID Data Tracker

 

I'll say it - it would make more sense and do more good and save more lives if we were required to mask up on planes, COVID or no-COVID. It's how pandemics travel. But one guy with a shoe bomb and we take off our shoes. Glad nobody took the underwear bomber as seriously.

 

The date on the CBS tweet is April 11.
And in less than 3 days there would be meaningful data? But just keep posting from Twitter without any thought.

 

The story is about overseas carriers that dropped their mask requirements sooner.

Airlines that dropped mask requirements are now suffering staff shortages due to COVID-19

 

In neither the tweet nor the post was it suggested that was the context, I believe either intentionally or with disregard.
