Mask Mania
11th July 2022
We live in a very bipolar society and one of the most obvious examples of this is the tenacity of masking. The unfortunate truth is that an aerosolized virus particle is so small that the only sure way to prevent an encounter with it is with your own self-contained breathing apparatus. How many scuba suits are you seeing on the streets of New York? Can a surgical mask stop a particle or two? Well, it is certainly possible in the same way that fishnet stockings may prevent some sunburn but not what anyone would call overall effective. Early on there were multiple articles exaggerating the necessity of public masking, none of them particularly convincing or well done but they danced around the truth and pushed their preconceived notions in the name of public health.
The wearing of masks has absolutely nothing to do with COVID – it’s a flag that progressives use to assert their political loyalty to the Narrative. That’s all it is.

In East Asian countries it’s customary to wear a mask if the wearer is concerned s/he might be carrying something. I look at it that way … the plague rats self-identify. It’s better than ringing a bell.

Even when the plague they’re carrying is primarily intellectual.
I like it.
