Thank you Rebecca, people in East Coast enclaves and journalist types who are allowed to work from home don't get the hinterlands. I tend to not mask outside myself unless it's a crowded street, parking lot, or gathering. EXCEPT on hiking trails where there's no room to move 6 feet or more out of the way. Like on bridges and little boardwalks. Plus, it's just a courteous thing to do, like holding a door. Slip the mask on and then we can all pass each other. I certainly don't have a problem with anyone who does wear one outside. Maybe their face broke out!
And here in the hinterlands, even journalists, like Mr. Smew, have Trumpy people in the chain of command who don't let them work from home and who travel across the state during the lockdown for in-person meetings. Asshole.
I work at a rural critical access hospital and we literally had no flu this season. I just hope once the pandemic is down to the same levels of seasonal flu that they let those of us who greet patients to keep wearing them if we want to. I haven't even had a cold in 2 years.
Got our second shots yesterday but need to vent at the process for a mo:
We went to ASU and had to go through no fewer than FIVE checkpoints where one overly officious douche demanded photo ID for everyone and intimidated my son. They made him take off his mask to make sure he matched his photo. He got up close to my face and I had to ask him politely to step back. He said that he could stop us from getting our shots if we cause any trouble.
I thought this kind of intimidation was meant for voting?
WTF? I think if any human with an arm shows up and says “i want the shot” they should get the plucking shot in the interest of public safety.
But it seems they want to scare people away from getting the shot. Great job, dumplucks!
This is tabloid rage-click bullshit from The Atlantic, and it reminds me why I got pissed off and stopped subscribing (until I forgot and started again). Are there people who are over-afraid, still overstating the dangers, afraid to leave their houses because of the coronavirus? Yes, of course. There were shut-ins and germaphobes before COVID, too.
Now The Atlantic editors decide a good headline would link quivering triple-masked Howard Hughes people with the entire Left of American politics, cause why not give a hand to the RW fuckwads keeping this pandemic going. Because I guess pissing off their readers, who are probably 80% left-leaning work-from-home types, ie., the people in the article, is good for clicks and letters and tweets, and attention and ad revenue. Some kind of reputational thing? Image? Illusions of "balance?" Well, fuck you, Jeffery Goldberg, I didn't click. Or tweet. I guess I did just leave an angry comment, though. Unless the article had a point or something, cause I didn't read it.
Except it's all about stopping the small droplets containing the virus - and those droplets get stopped by masks. It's why surgeons wear them in the operating room...
Yet your idea of 'having an opinion' is leaving your safe right-wing buddies and posting random taunts at people and demeaning them just to be an asshole, and nothing more.I did argue back against what you said by the way, as I said before, obvious troll is obvious.
Even if they are 100% right and everything is fine, why does someone else wearing a mask or not being quite ready to fly right now make them so mad?
In a recent online conversation, you would think economic recovery had been stabbed right through the heart when one person said they'd put off planning any long plane trips until the fall.
that and hand washing is pretty much Kryptonite for ye old influenza, so yes, keep doing it!
There are also a billion other things wrong with that take
It was, yes, but there's no schedule yet for when he gets it, here. We're waiting for Ontario to say anything about that age range, really.
What an absolute fuckstain Stelter and the others absolutely are. Jesus fucking Christ.

Maybe you should go back to Breitbart where everybody is full of shit and eats their own all the time, something which you are clearly familiar with.
Trolling us here is pointless cause obvous troll is obvious

Geez, having a few issues are we?
You mean I won't ever hear another comment about my resting bitchface? Where do I sign up?
Move along now, asshole.
No one here is interested in your ignorant bullshit.

Oh, I know, next thing you know businesses will be requiring us to cover our genitals before coming in. It's the end of freedom.
