It’s called panic. There were plenty of people panicking in this thread, remember?


Panic? No, I did that early on. Then I got more information and adjusted my level of concern. Balzé is right, it's more like a cult now with a large side of partisanship.

Agreed. My sister isn't panicking, she's converted to the Church of Covid. It's infiltrated every topic of discussion with her, much the way some use every last topic as an opportunity to bring up politics. She looks with suspicion and fear on everyone who doesn't think the same way she does, much the way we've seen from various religious institutions throughout history. No panic, but lots of fear - like Pascal's Wager, she's decided it's just better to take all the recommended "precautions" without a backward glance and can't for the life of her understand why others would choose not to. I love her, but she's driving me nuts with this shit.

Yep. And like every cult in history, its primary focus is control of the people. Unfortunately, a huge portion of this country is too stupid and weak to do anything other than as they are told to do by their self appointed masters. Every instance in history where this paradigm existed ended very poorly for everyone.

We went to a Trader Joe market a few days ago. Stood in a line marked 6 feet apart and waited our turn inside. Cute girl at door measured number of shoppers leaving and allowed same number inside and reminded each person to have mask properly fixed. Signs everywhere reminding everyone proper Covid 19 sanitary rules.

Yesterday, we went into Fry's Super Market. Just grabbed a cart went inside and shopped. Some shoppers removed their mask.

No incidents. No Police called.

Two masks now required to enter Manhattan federal court buildings

Visitors to Manhattan federal court and other buildings in the Southern District of New York are now required to either wear two face masks or an FDA-approved N95 mask.

The double-mask requirement was included in the federal court district’s COVID-19 “phased re-entry plan” released on Feb. 11.

“You are required to wear either: (i) one disposable mask underneath a cloth mask
with the edges of the inner mask pushed against your face; or (ii) a properly fitted, FDA-authorized KN95 (or N95) mask,” the text of the plan states.

“Gaiters, bandannas, or masks with valves/vents are not acceptable face coverings. If you do not have the approved mask(s), a screener will provide one. No one will be admitted without the proper mask(s),” it adds.

Security guards at the court buildings — which include the Daniel Patrick Moynihan courthouse at 500 Pearl Street, the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse at 40 Foley Square and District Court in White Plains — will enforce the mask mandate.

The plan extends only to the federal courthouses in the district, but other federal court districts across the country can impose similar mandates if they choose to.

The CDC last week recommended double masking for more protection against COVID-19.

“If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,” top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said in January.



“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
- John Adams

I just don't understand the completely irrational fear people have of this virus. Its not just that they're misinformed or ignorant, its like they love the drama and they crave a crisis to fill a hole in their mundane lives. How have they been living all these years if they're this fragile and fearful? I don't think they really want things to be normal again.
Then you have the people who aren't really afraid but are mindlessly obedient. The ones who put a mask on to walk 5 steps to the door because that's what they're told to do. If mankind had been this weak, fearful and stupid in ancient times we would've been extinct thousands of years ago.

Throughout the history of civilization, mankind being in an obedient, subservient state is actually the normal state of things. Freedom, the free man and woman, is but a blip on the timeline of men.

Here we go with this shit Roll Eyes

I tried to wear an N95 once on the job and after an hour or two I felt like I was slowly suffocating. Confused

I WILL NOT WEAR THIS. Mad

And I wore military gas masks for hours and hours in the Army and ANG so it's not that I have a problem.

Four former Biden COVID advisers urge administration to recommend ALL Americans wear N95 masks to protect against explosion of 'super-covid'

quote:

A memo was sent to the White House signed by a dozen health and safety experts, including four members of Biden's transition team coronavirus board

They called on the CDC and OSHA to 'recommend and require the use of respiratory protection, such as N95s' for all Americans

Just days ago, the CDC advised against using N95 masks, which protect against small virus particles, outside of healthcare settings due to a shortage

The signatories argue that there are millions of N95s 'sitting in warehouses' available for use among the general public

It comes as more cases of the new variants from the UK, South Africa and Brazil continue to be identified cross the country

My response to this is exactly the same as my response to O'Biden wet dream gun control push...I'm not going to comply with any of it. And if I read one more retarded story from these morons in the media about the 'mutant' virus or the 'super-covid' virus I'm going to lose it. These people are completely blatant in their narrative and agenda at this point, yet the sheep just go about milling around and cowering to tyrant decrees. It's just sickening.

I’d consider it under conditions like: it comes out of the WH operating budget with no increase in fees or taxes, can also be funded by budgets of schools, universities and DMV under same constraints. Must be made by American company in the USA like 3M.

Wish is to basically say I won’t willingly comply.

I believe, that since WWII, we've always had a "the Boogie Man coming to get us" fear among the American population.

First Russians, then Cubans, then Terrorists and now Covid-19.

Can't we just color our current masks white and call it a day?

And why stop at N95? Why not N97?

i think some of you guys just need to move on. Just do your thing. being fixated on this mask thing is making you guys look like the people you despise. being obsessed cannot be good for you. it is pretty obvious it is having a negative affect on you. it is just a handful of you that cannot move past this point in time. life has and needs to move on. this too will pass.
