Losing face

Of course I still see them, although thankfully not as many as there were before. The masked, that is. But when I see them it's in some bizarre contexts. A guy on bicycle or a woman walking onto the porch of her house, neither of them within six feet of anyone, for whatever that meant in the first place.

The thing is there was never any logic to it in the first place. COVID wasn't sold to people the way you convince grown-ups to do things. It was always just fear and guilt, limbic system abuse. So a few souls are just married to it now. After all, when do you stop? The very question makes you a bad person.

Good header you have there.

The mask wearing is pretty much the same as we see around here, although they might be a bit more prevalent in Victoria. It's no surprise to see the odd old person in a mask - they might even be sick - but the weirdest ones are the young people, many of whom seem to think face masks are a fashion statement.

No, it was never logical but it was a good trick foisted on us by the overlords who wanted to see how easy it would be to make a population do their bidding. Remember the events where the elites were maskless but all the servants had to have their faces covered? The Met Gala 2021 said it all.

Header born out of desperation, but thanks.

With older people you can sometimes see a logic, even if masking probably won't do anything for them. With younger people it often seems to be some kind of political/social identity thing, and they take pride in doing it when there's no possible justification. And the push to make masks a fashion statement started right away in 2020. No thanks.

They ditched pandemic protocol that had been on the books for decades and was meant to handle much more lethal viruses, on the Spanish flu level. Almost no one questioned it. That's the maddening thing. The Met Gala is an alarming showcase of inequality.
