re: Mayor SWB to make major COVID announcement at 1pm

we can either shut everything down again or we can wear masks

Or, and this is a wild idea, we could not do either of those.

So unless officials really start enforcing the capacity limits the mask orders don't do much.

TABC pulled permits for about 15 places around the state last week because they were above capacity. Before Abbott closed all the bars again, it meant they were closed for 30 days.

Exactly.

I wear my mask out of respect for the workers. only reason tbh.

if ppl are working, it's reasonable for me to be sympathetic to them. not sure why we can't just take care of each other

My issue is that there is no plan. It’s all just watch and react with zero guidance as to what the endgame is... where the thresholds are... what specifically caused a change. Same stupid shite that started this all. They fricking WANT another shutdown.

I hate the idea of the govt forcing these types of things. It only ever gets worse/more intrusive/less business friendly

I agree.

I am not protesting now either

I am simply not wearing a mask.

I'd say that is a form of protesting

I am sorry that makes you mad

who is mad? I don't care if you wear a mask

Because masks don't work.

1) Why has "flatten the curve" been completely ignored?
2) If masks work, then why are we social distancing? If social distancing works, then why do we have to wear masks?
3) Fauci stated early on that masks didn't do anything. Then he stated later that he lied because they didn't want the public to buy up all the masks for the healthcare workers. Now he states masks does do something. So which Fauci are we to believe?
4) 3 gives way to point 1. We are no longer in danger of running out of supplies. Which means the curve has been flattened for a long time. So why are we still shutting down?
5) When does this end? Idiots are running around saying, "just wear the damn mask so we can open up". For how long? Am i supposed to accept that wearing the mask is what is needed for the rest of our lives?
6) When flu season starts, will the same maskers demand masks be worn at this time as well?
7) Why hasn't anyone apologized for being so catastrophically wrong during the entire COVID season?
8) For the maskers, what is your limit before you tell the "officials" NO?
9) The maskers crowd likes to claim, "the mask isn't for you. It doesn't protect you, it protects others". So stay with me, if a mask doesn't protect me, then how does it protect others? Let's remove the whole me and others part. The statement then is "the mask doesn't protect people, but it does protect people"... That's asinine. So i'm to wear a mask, that doesn't work, to protect people from a virus, that doesn't care about what cloth is on your face? And the argument, is that it's for the asymptomatic to not spread to others. But we also have no idea who is asymptomatic. So we are wearing a mask to protect ourselves from unknown people that might have a virus, and that mask doesn't prevent spread of China Flu at all... Why can't you just say, "wear a mask because some people are frightened of other people, and we don't understand anything about the virus. And since we don't understand it, then we need a symbol to remind us that the boogeyman is out there, and you never know when he'll strike."
10) For the newly mandated "wear masks wherever you go" orders. If you have to wear a mask now, because government mandates you. Then why didn't you have to wear one in the past? If this virus is so deadly, that a mask is required for every human being, then why wasn't it this deadly a week ago? Pretty damn irresponsible and reckless to have "officials and doctors" not mandate these masks from the beginning, and waiting 4 months before doing so...Or, could it be, that this is knee jerk reactions and the "officials and doctors" still don't know what the hell they are doing?
11) and the obvious...riots/protests/BLMrallies, how can a virus be so smart as to ignore riots/protests/BLMrallies, and only resurge when Trump rallies begin? Smart virus, indeed.
12) If masks work so well, then why aren't the areas requiring masks for penalty of fines/imprisonment, also enforcing via fines/imprisonment, the proper wearing/handling of a facemask? We are supposed to believe that these masks are the savior to the world, so much so that idiots are mandating people wear them or go to prison. Yet, they are not mandating people wear them properly. Why? How many stores have you walked into with people wearing masks sitting below their nose, or hanging off their ear? Even Latoya the Destroya was using her mask to wipe sweat off her face. Why is she not in prison per her current rulings?
