In my town I'm still seeing entire families wearing masks. I want to just walk over and take them from the children 😫

I work in a school. When children are wearing a mask at recess, I just can’t fathom how afraid their family must be to instill a hyper need in a 5 year old to restrict breathing for outside play. The unreasonable fear is bazar!

Who was it said: We having nothing to fear but fear itself. It is how we all are being controlled.

It’s child abuse. Before 2020, if anyone had done that to their children, they would have had a complaint and CPS investigation.

Not long ago, lots of things done to children today would have merited investigation and consequences.

now if you don't want to transgender your child the teachers will call CPS to investigate you! What an upside down country we have become

I know it. Arguing not to cut body parts off your healthy child gets you in trouble. It's completely backwards!

That is what I have been saying...backward thinking! We were moving in a direction where a person could be "themselves." Whatever! Dress how you'd like, you be you... WHEN did this morph into children taking drugs and cutting off body parts???

Today's 5 year-olds were only 2 y.o. in 2020, when this madness started. The madness is likely all they can recall. How many adults can remember the Before Times? How many 5 year-olds recall what it was like to be 2? The sooner we can break this spell, the better!

β€œWe have nothing to fear but fear itself,” was Winston Churchill, I believe. And he was correct. It’s extremely powerful, as we saw (and still see).

I picked up a friend from the airport the other day... parked and waited.

Watched an entire family, 3 kids, mum and dad, fully masked, dragging suitcases.

The mum had hers under her nose though. (Good example, eh?)

If masks worked airports would be an excellent place to wear them. I’ve picked up some pretty nasty bugs when traveling by plane.

If they did, yes...

They tend to protect doctors and nurses from blood squirts better than from viruses though.

I picked up something truly nasty while flying from Florida to Vegas to BC Canada in December of 2019.

Pretty sure it was floating around at that time. Despite what 'the news" told people, the CDC website told a different story about an ILV, for that timeline.

Coincidentally, the sickest I ever got was flying to AK from Fl through 3 airports in late November 2019. I almost had to be hospitalized but I’m just stubborn. I wonder ......

I believe the Left coast had it by November. I returned (by air) from a work trip to Sacramento in Nov 19 with a pretty awful bug as well. I rarely get sick enough for it to be noticeable. And this one had my bride concerned.

Lots of viruses are carried in mucus droplets where the masks might actually help... IF handled correctly, which I’ve seen only in some medical circles; never in the general public. Those single folk wearing a mask alone in a car? I’d venture a guess that at least some were medical going from one errand to another. Studies noted however.

Almost everyone I see has their masks under their noses. It's ridiculous!

I know we want to protect children but is there a case building to allow covidians to practice their religion freely, as long as others get the same freedom? It seems like a great way minimize the risk of future generations of tyrants. I know some kids of covidians will be smart enough see the evil they embrace, but statistically, is that % enough to take the risk? Letting them reduce their own population seems like a good idea to me. The more I hear covidians rationalize their ignorance and denial the more I have been leaning towards a pro-abortion stance, as long as there is a choice for the mother. I might even be persuaded to allow mandating abortions for any woman that embraces that religion. Maybe 'botched' abortions that lead to depopulation of the mothers(or whatever they call themselves) as well?? Just daydreaming now.....
