It's dumb. A complete beatup and the only possibly benefit that can come from it is a complete re-engineering of society. And I say "benefit" even though the only people it really benefits are an elite few.
Where I am, nobody is wearing masks. Why bother? If one or more of us gets sick, we stay at home, otherwise we're out and about, getting on with our lives and otherwise not coughing up lumps of phlegm on each other. Though yesterday I took a trip across town to an asian enclave to pick up an amplifier for my third stereo. Lots of people wearing masks over there. Strangely I noticed that the less almond shaped a person's eyes were, the less likely they were to be wearing masks. And nobody was hawking up globs of lung junket on each other there either. Then I went north a bit, talked to an old white dude and bought a cheapie computer from him for my old DOS games. He wasn't wearing a mask either and seemed to be in perfect health too in spite of this oversight.
And when I came home, I set up my computer, set up the amplifier, turned it on. Wall to wall coverage about COVID. "Shit, it's even pushed Trump off the front page" I thought. Funny how it's all coming out of the radio and the television, but otherwise people seem okay with it.
Defund the media I reckon. Probably should defund the government too, but at least they're paying us to behave like mindless sheeple. Yes, even the ones of us who aren't paying attention to their little exercises in remedial fascism.
I always wear a mask when Ieave my house.
