I am a relatively smart guy but this lockdown has made me feel like a goddam genius at least in comparison to some of the people in the US who I feel have a bag of hammers where their brains should be.
The main fuel for this rant / sermon are masks. I do not like wearing mine. I think the ear stretching caused by one led to a bout of vertigo. But you know what? I fucking wear it and am somehow able to go on with my life unimpeded.
Others, well, they get all “angry white person” when turned away from Wal-Mart, or when told they can’t have a family birthday party so they can infect grandma and grandpa or even visit a brewery. Or they descend upon a city council meeting and claim that masks are evil. Making all of the politicians wish they could crawl away.
I am going to lay this out quickly for you anti-maskers. Masks protect the rest of humanity from YOU. Not wearing a mask is basically telling everyone that you would not mind potentially killing someone. And not just one person but every person that person later meets. You may not have Covid19. Bully for you. But you might if enough people don’t wear masks.
So, put it on and then shut your hole about it. It could be a lot worse. You could be wearing a ventilator. Be a grown up. Don’t Share Your Air.
