I’d say the coolest cat in Florida is after the mouse. Go get ‘em, Governor!

I responded this to a friend yesterday who said she didn’t mind wearing the masks:

“Yes, we are all beyond ready for the covid scare and craze to end.

I didn’t desire to wear the mask because cotton dust causes brown lung disease, all dyes (even the hypoallergenic ones are typically carcinogens when inhaled), the cloth and other materials collected whatever the material came in contact with while worn or stored (on tables/dashboards, in purses/pockets) and then you place that back on your face to wear into another store/plane/office taking the soaked up germs from the last place with you. When was the last time you saw any woman sanitize the inside of her purse? Oh, and reusing cloth or single use disposable masks caused the fibers of the mask to breakdown and become easier to inhale small particles. Never before seen in lung biopsies of living patients, small plastic dust/beads are being found most likely due to wearing masks.

Brown lung disease is like asbestosis, takes 20 years. Adults are one thing, but I’m so sad for the 5 & 10 year olds who will likely be coughing up a lung when they are 25 and 30 because of the super cute cartoon masks their parents were forced to make them wear.

The outcomes of the bad policies will play out medically for the next couple of decades.

I’m super glad that the masks are becoming a relic of the past. Celebrate the wins and keep doing what you are able for those around you and those you love.”
