I shit you not, but I have a cousin who thinks the reason democrats what people (and especially kids) to wear masks is so they can kidnap them and force them into sex trafficking and somehow wearing a mask makes you a target because other people cannot see your face.

Yeah good friend summarized it as Democrats want to laugh at us wearing masks.

I don't think they'd be a "good" friend anymore. I've cut that kind of childish idiocy away from me. It's fanaticism. As they might worry about vaccines, it might rub off on me. Those I can't cut away (co-workers mainly) we just agree not to talk politics, or about their insanity.

Fair enough I have done that with fellow band members. Some family though I've had to go with ZCP because they won't shut their yap with their idiocy.

I wonder why we never heard the same laments over drunk driving laws, or ordinances against juggling chainsaws in the city center, or pesky rules that say I can't fire my rifle in movie theaters. Those are taking away my god-given freedoms!
God is sitting on his golden throne, an AR-15 assault rifle in his muscular arms, and he ain't wearin' no fuckin' mask.

Johns Roast Pork is the best cheesesteak in Philly. Outside of Philly, in Southern NJ there is a small chain called Gaetano's that makes the best cheesesteaks PERIOD.

Also, any cheesesteak from a chain place is trash, and you can't really get a good one north of 195 in NJ...

Bookmarked for later cheesesteak consumption

It's sad that such a level of crazy doesn't even surprise me that much anymore. It's just another day in Q-tardia.

Look at ALL this difference that a mask mandate brings! WHY ARENT YOU LISTENING AND BELIEVING???



Your twitter source is fall of crap. ND did practically nothing to mitigate COVID. The state government issued no statewide mandates. Some local governments such as Bismark tried but failed due to too much political objection. Bismark has a mask "mandate" with no penalty for violating it.


Literally the only difference between ND and SD was that SD's governor was more vocal about opposing public health measures while ND just stayed quiet and didn't do anything.

This is why you don't rely on Twitter for your damn news.

I don't know or care who Eli David is, but he also seems oblivious that the Dakotas were worst in the nation (world?) with COVID just before Christmas. He should have started the chart in March to hide this glaring stupidity.

Yeah the Dakotas are a super low density and overall very small population. For fucks sake, almost 15% of the ND population tested positive while they had nearly 25% positivity rates as a state and some regional rates even higher than that so the *actual* number was significantly higher. They basically self herd immunified themselves.

Combine who's already had it, with vaccines plus those who have been smart enough to shelter in place and you're fucking moron if you use that as a good case of masks.

If you want some real data, look no further than this. Multnomah and Washington counties are two of the biggest counties in Oregon. We're also the most vaccinated and also the most strict in following Covid restrictions and mask mandates.

You can judge for yourself on cases per 100,000 and positivity rates the difference actually giving a shit makes.

You also need to look at testing as well. They are at the bottom for testing. Something something our numbers would be so much better if we didn't test.

It's pretty simple: find an actual study from a reputable place. Not a dude on youtube. There are doctors on youtube going on about colon cleansing and "detoxing", which is literally and figuratively (bull)shit. You can find some doctor to stand up for any baloney, all it takes is money or a screw loose or both.

Of course the ready answer from the conspiracy crowd is "But the medical establishment is in on it!" That's why all the snake oil vids start with "Here's something THEY don't want you to know..."

As I said before, I welcome good science that says we shouldn't bother with masks. I hate wearing them.
