The little "emperor" has spoken to the peasants.
I think it’s time to reopen the drive through Beer Barn on Lakeland. I had no idea drinking and driving had come back in style
"Face coverings are required in public outdoor spaces and public indoor spaces such as stores"
Experiment...grab yourself a cigar...light and take a drag off of said cigar...hold smoke in...place your preferred mask over your face in your normal mode of wear...exhale cigar smoke while wearing your mask...see if any smoke escapes.
Hint: Most, if not all, of the smoke will escape the mask.
Observation: If the smoke or vape or whatever your prefer can and does escape the mask, then what is the point of the mask. Covid will escape in the same manner.
Conclusion: This is about control or the appearance of control. This is no longer about science. Recent studies show whether you are 6 feet or 60 feet from the virus, you can get it...or not get it. Wearing a mask to your table in a restaurant or on the trails at Bridges is not going to prevent or save you from Covid. Let the people make their own decisions, and if you say you are using science to make informed decisions, actually use real science, not just what is convenient to your political position.
2:00 PM, the mask mandate has been an interesting ink-blot test on the American psyche.
@2:00 - Do you think doctors and nurses also wear masks for show because the government wants to control them? Maybe you should consider leaving the medical experiments to those who have studied it their entire lives.
There is not a single peer reviewed trial or study in this century that shows masks are effective- not one. The cdc on their website and in responses to FOIA and lawsuits has said they have Zero studies showing the effectiveness of masks. There are studies showing the dangers of masks. Throw yours out and live free.
"Face coverings are required in public outdoor spaces"
and
"the control of spread is contingent on mask wearing guidelines".
Mayor. Mayor. Check with your bosses in DC and you will learn that they are not suggesting that wearing masks in outdoor spaces is still a recommendation, or a guideline.
But we all know you want to sound like you are smart and in hip with this administration. Maybe try reading up on the latest instead of making your shit up all the time.

Oh, horseshit (can I day that here? Well, I just did). We wear masks because the powers that be insist we wear masks so some poorly-informed people don't get in a panic about being around people who are not wearing masks. If we don't comply they threaten to cancel our clinics, therefore cancelling our income. So we put up with bullshit. It doesn't mean we agree with it. We have to pay our bills, you see.
3:16 go look at the study in Kansas. Some counties required masks, others did not.
Guess who killed fewer people?
10:51 PM, you don't need a study. We are the study in this case. Look at a map of per capita COVID numbers. Shouldn't the states without mask mandates have piles and piles of bodies?
Do you know how infinitesimally smaller the COVID particle is than the average porous opening in a good ole fashioned mask? It's like trying to dam a river with chicken wire.
@3:10, does your doctor or nurse (pre-fakedemic) wear a mask when they don’t have a part of your body open? When they are examining you or speaking with you? They don’t, do they? They wear one to avoid spitting INTO you, not ON you.
@ 2:00 PM
Experiment.. Put on a disposable face mask, and then take a puff off your cigar/cigarette through the mask. After exhaling the smoke, take your mask off and look at it. There will be a black circle on the outside of the mask where the butt of the cigar/cigarette was placed while inhaling.
Observation.. The mask filtered some of the toxins/tobacco from entering your body, but you still exhaled smoke. Masks are not going to completely protect you from breathing in a virus, but they do filter some particles from the air.
I am not agreeing with mask mandates - just offering a different perspective.
