Do you want to star in the new H ollywood blockbuster, “ Lockdown 2021 - CoVid for All, ” cause this is how you get “ CoVid for All” - you own a mask, you wear a mask, but it doesn’t do anything...

There’s a city park not far from me I drove by this morning. It’s got a nice full playground, kids and parents abound. Speed limit is very low, so I rubbernecked. Of 32 people I counted, zero people had masks on — or at all . I didn’t even see the half-assed mask-pull-below-chin wielder.

And sorry for talking about my jerb again, but I am as always the only person with a mask on at any jobsite over the past 2 months. I just roll my eyes and go back to what I’m doing.

Living in Atlanta I have seen fat far more. ma sk wearing than anywhere else. Especially in campus masks are actually ubiquitous outside the frat houses.

Every winter, the local news finds it necessary to remind people not to run their generators with the garage door closed and not to move their barbecue grills into the kitchen, and there are probably hundreds of thousands of people who think it looks perfectly fine to wear a tie with a short sleeved shirt, or to mix plaids and stripes.

It’s nothing worse than the common flu anyway, so why bother?  Besides, we are past the worst of it, and once you have it, you are immune.

Well, AOC’s  looks barely over those nose, and she could fix it soon. The other two, they have to know, and just don’t care.

Seems like masks that don’t fall down should be a pretty easily solvable problem though.

I am a bit concerned for ski season, I usually don’t cover my nose with my balaclava to help with google fogging, but I guess I’ll need to work out something else for this season.

Park people should probably still wear masks, but at least they are outdoors. Your work isn’t though and I don’t get it. It doesn’t seem like much a burden, but missing work because they got sick, or shutting down a jobsite because of an outbreak, or getting coworkers sick all seem like really bad outcomes, ones that it seems like people really should be ok with taking small measure to decrease the risks on.

I haven’t seen any warnings not to deep fry a turkey in your kitchen while wearing nothing but jorts and crocs & socks, therefore Thanksgiving is gonna be AWESOME this year.

More so than usual, since old grand- dad isn’t around to drink all of the..... Old Grand- dad....

YouTube should be fun for awhile, at least.

Its starting to get cold, so I hope they will at least start telling parents whether their children will need coats and hats for standing at the bus stop in the morning.

Looks like GODDAM FREEDOM loving Florida Man is wearing his correctly, while commie bastard NY’ers and The Queen’s Younger Sister are the ones doing it wrong.

Huh.

Have you looked at the “Excess Death Rate” charts lately?  It’s really, really weird.  Astonishingly weird.  The data analysis junkies will be studying this dataset for decades.

I’m a poll official on Election Day. I’m curious about how we’d we are  handle masks. I’m bringing multiple, but I don’t know what the voters will do.

Hopefully they also examine the credibility of some of the data (or lack thereof) at the same time.  I’d trust numbers from (more regressive) American states as much as I would numbers from PRC/DPRK/Russia etc.

You can’t work in my lab without one, but it really does seem like the construction people have a hard time wearing them consistently.

Oh come on, having a mask anywhere near your face is a magic shield protecting you from all things , right?

I’ve seen a lot of people with the mask down off the nose. I’ve seen people repeatedly pull the mask down to speak, which is exactly when you should wear it . I’ve also heard multiple stories of people   pulling their masks down to cough or sneeze (wtf?). It goes along with the people a few months back who wore gloves but would  touch everything with their gloves, including scratching their noses.

There’s not a single relevant doctor in the world that I’ve heard recommend wearing a mask outside unless you’re unable to maintain social distance.

You’re acting like a hall monitor. Stop it.

Good thing you stopped to count and wrote about it on the internet then took the time to dismiss my reply. You saved the internet from hearing science that doesn’t fit your narrow view of the world and stopped people from calling you out for being a  scandalmonger .

Same thing happens down here when a hurricane rolls through. Most of the deaths after Laura were due to generators.

I don’t care what Cosmo says, established rules got that way for a reason, and it doesn’t work.

Unless you’re intentionally power clashing, but you have to be pretty rich/successful and confident to pull that off.

T he reason America is approaching a failed State status is because, at its core, it encourages the freedoms of the individual over what’s best for the masses.

You can't build a society on that

Not quite. Our nation-wide case mortality rate is lower than most of western Europe. NYC was more on par with Italy. Mexico is the only country with a worse case mortality rate than Italy.

Kinja'd!!!

People probably aren’t as afraid of it here because a lot less people who get it die from it (I’m not saying that’s the right way to look at it, but it is what it is).

Interesting.

This also gives more perspective on why I keep hearing about cheap deals on Mexican resorts.
