it's not bullshit.

it works like this:

* Masks

* Social Distancing

*Lockdown

Re: How do we deal with this mandatory mask bullshit?
Tried to ask this in another thread but got no answer so I'll guess I'll try here too. So what's the reason you can't put a mask on? Is it because you don't believe in the virus? Or that the masks are of no use in helping reduce the spread? Or something else entirely? Where I live the virus is very real and masks help in the sense that people who don't necessarily even know they're infected don't spread it further that way. I suppose those statements are true for most of the rest of the apart from possibly Brazil. What's the deal here? Genuinely interested.

The mask do not work for there intended purpose.

But that is besides the point.

Just ask the chews in Germany what their problem was with the Star of David or slaves with their shackles. The mask and these other symbols are signs of obedience and subservience.

Slaves and sheep wear the mask willingly. It is as simple as that.

I wear the mask when I absolutely have to because this isn't the true battle but the way we are going, things will escalate soon unfortunately.

Re: How do we deal with this mandatory mask bullshit?
Regarding those with the attitude that “you are bad for not wearing a mask,” I realized that the irony is that it is THEY, the dopes who have fallen for the hoax, that are to blame for all this.

If it weren’t for their stupid gullibility, there could be no hoax in the first place and we could simply go on with our lives. It is their refusal to even consider that this is all a lie that perpetuates it.

The dopes not only bring it upon us all but they attack anyone with the vision to see it for what it really is and in so doing try to prevent the only thing that could stop it — our refusal to agree with the lies.

Some might offer the excuse that “they don’t know any better” but I don’t buy that. I see it as more a matter of cowardice than ignorance. They don’t go along because they don’t know any better. They go along because they’re afraid not to.

I'm waiting for my mesh mask to arrive.

I saw other people ordered mesh tank tops with them so I snagged a couple of those. It then dawned upon me that I lost my leather slacks in Saratoga 12' and quickly made a purchase. I just hope they fit.

Now they will comply with how fabulous I am.

How do you deal with it?

Well, I suppose you could do what most people are doing, wearing them half-assed.

I have no problem wearing them properly while inside a retail location if it makes other people feel better around me, it's not really for myself.

However, you have those mopes that put them on but either they don't cover their nostrils or they only cover their chin while exposing their mouth and nostrils. They might as well not even wear them at that point but I suppose they can at least say that they had it on regardless of how it's worn.

Follow their example.

So, the place I live has now been hit with a mandatory mask order when in indoor public spaces or on transit beginning on Monday, July 13. What to do? Do we be all brazen and say fuck off or do we attempt to convince the gatekeeper at the store that the policy is horse shit? Its not law so they can't enforce it...the Karens are going to be going fucking apeshit inside if we don't comply and actually get in the stores...I foresee a fucking horrorshow with fights left and right.

What I do for a happy medium is avoid all indoor places at all costs other than my home.

Kind of weird but you get used to it after a while. Don't have to wear a mask...and as a by product of this I have more $$$ saved to do other things. I'm not going out spending $$$ so it stands to reason I save more. This aspect of my life is quite noticable actually.

Stop crying...Where I work I have to wear the damn mask all day in 110-116F weather. Personally I don’t give a damn if ya’ll wear them or don’t as long as you aint coughing up a storm around me....In which case if I can’t leave the area or I’m on line at the store I’ll ask you politely to cover your mouth. If politeness does not work then I’ll just tell u what a piece of garbage you are and wait and see if you want to fight...I’ve never been one to back out of a good old fist fight.

I would give your opinion a chance but of all the people I know hardly any of them know of one person who has had covid let alone died from it.

My wife works in a hospital and the only person she knows that does with covid came in not knowing she was pregnant because she was so obese and giving birth.

It has been 8 months. I think if it was real we would be seeing it by now. I am sorry this virus is just not a big deal.

Like I said 3 times as many people died from tuberculosis last year with legitimate numbers. Covid numbers have been inflated too a ridiculous amount.

Re: How do we deal with this mandatory mask bullshit?
And store owners under OSHA by mandating masks are responsible to their employees and customers to insure the aspirating oxygen content meets the minimum level of 19.5 percent required by federal law under the pains of fine or lawsuit if employees or customers suffer injury.

Mind you enforcing mask use is a CDC guideline or a policy or an order NOT LAW REPEAT NOT LAW UNDER CONSTITUTIONAL PROTOCOL.

Now think about what is said for a moment.

[link to www.osha.gov (secure)]

Excerpt:

Paragraph (d)(2)(iii) of the Respiratory Protection Standard considers any atmosphere with an oxygen level below 19.5 percent to be oxygen-deficient and immediately dangerous to life or health. To ensure that employees have a reliable source of air with an oxygen content of at least 19.5 percent, paragraphs (d)(2)(i)(A) and (d)(2)(i)(B) of the Respiratory Protection Standard require employers working under oxygen-deficient conditions to provide their employees with a self-contained breathing apparatus or a combination full-facepiece pressure-demand supplied-air respirator with auxiliary self-contained air supply. In the preamble to the final Respiratory Protection Standard, OSHA discussed extensively its rationale for requiring that employees breathe air consisting of at least 19.5 percent oxygen. The following excerpt, taken from the preamble, explains the basis for this requirement:

Human beings must breathe oxygen . . . to survive, and begin to suffer adverse health effects when the oxygen level of their breathing air drops below [19.5 percent oxygen]. Below 19.5 percent oxygen . . . , air is considered oxygen-deficient. At concentrations of 16 to 19.5 percent, workers engaged in any form of exertion can rapidly become symptomatic as their tissues fail to obtain the oxygen necessary to function properly (Rom, W., Environmental and Occupational Medicine, 2nd ed.; Little, Brown; Boston, 1992). Increased breathing rates, accelerated heartbeat, and impaired thinking or coordination occur more quickly in an oxygen-deficient environment. Even a momentary loss of coordination may be devastating to a worker if it occurs while the worker is performing a potentially dangerous activity, such as climbing a ladder. Concentrations of 12 to 16 percent oxygen cause tachypnea (increased breathing rates), tachycardia (accelerated heartbeat), and impaired attention, thinking, and coordination (e.g., Ex. 25-4), even in people who are resting.

At oxygen levels of 10 to 14 percent, faulty judgment, intermittent respiration, and exhaustion can be expected even with minimal exertion (Exs. 25-4 and 150). Breathing air containing 6 to 10 percent oxygen results in nausea, vomiting, lethargic movements, and perhaps unconsciousness. Breathing air containing less than 6 percent oxygen produces convulsions, then apnea (cessation of breathing), followed by cardiac standstill. These symptoms occur immediately. Even if a worker survives the hypoxic insult, organs may show evidence of hypoxic damage, which may be irreversible (Exs. 25-4 and 150; also reported in Rom, W. [see reference in previous paragraph]).
