Yeah, but they don’t call themselves “pro life.”
Not saying that makes it okay—just relating it to the meme.

Ever since I learned that it makes me sad every time I see one.

It’s actually not a flu.
I know every one likes to toss that around because we have come to view the flu as no big deal. And, in comparison, you’re right, it’s not.
So let’s ignore 132,000 Americans whose lives were meaningless. Let’s ignore the fact that we are 7 months into 2020 and already profoundly more Americans have died of Covid than died of influenza (34k) in all of 2019. (Based on CDC stats). Let’s ignore that we are seeing healthy young people hospitalized for this disease. Let’s ignore that children are surfing organ failures AFTER recovering from this disease. Let’s ignore the huge percentage of people who are suffering severe neurological defects. Let’s ignore the fact that the flu doesn’t kill this many people, doesn’t cause this kind of systemic damage.
Let’s ignore all the facts.

I, for sure, came here to comment about that hair.

@fluffydress you may want to consider seeing a different doc if you feel that way.

There are a lot of studies flying around right now about covid. Some of the studies are well done and balanced and some of them are awful.
I read a couple of the ones regarding masks, and largely, those studies are poorly conducted. One has a sample size of 6, which is in no way statistically significant.
Unfortunately, we don’t have good data. It’s possible that masks don’t help. But it is also possible that they do. And I am much more offended by being required to wear pants (serves only modesty) than being required to wear a mask (*probably* serves public safety).

Listening to and reading the news, I’ve heard many cases of people being harassed, abused and even murdered FOR wearing masks.
From you, @famousone, is the only place I’ve heard of people being imprisoned or abused for NOT wearing a mask.
I’m not trying to say it isn’t happening. I’m just saying it’s not this huge issue we have to rally against at all costs.
I haven’t done the research, but I’m pretty sure people have been arrested and otherwise abused for not wearing pants or whatever. And that has nothing to do with health of a population, unlike wearing masks during a pandemic.

It’s not a big deal. Just wear a mask. This isn’t about rights. It’s public safety.

No. I live in a relatively small town, and there are shops that won’t allow entry with out a mask.
Although a much larger area, the county Nashville, TN is in just mandated that all business require people to wear masks.

Yeah, that feels like a perk to me.

Thank you for wearing a mask.

You can also use a pumice stone to wear them off as they develop so they never get to razor blade level.

Idk, I’d like to start the year over too.

Omg. I’ll never disrespect the tiktok and k-pop kids again. !!
And also, seriously, whatever you do for pleasure that doesn’t hurt others, let’s have more.

If you haven’t listened to the video Derek Chauvin filmed of Cooper calling the police, you should. It is so disturbing. She knew exactly what she was doing. I heard it on the radio, without seeing the video and it was just so chilling.

This is probably about Amy Cooper, who was walking her dog in Central Park when a man who was bird watching asked her to leash her dog (as was required in the area). She refused and had a fit telling him that she would call the police and tell them there was an African American man threatening her. She calls the police and suddenly is breaking down sobbing about the black man threatening her all the will choking her dog as she drags it around. But the man she was threatening was recording the whole thing and it’s pretty horrifying. It sorta went viral and she lost her job and her dog over the matter.
