Masking for the modern plague : Comments

By James McKeon, published 21/1/2021

It made me think about the current trend in mandating the use of facemasks by the asymptomatic public during this time of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2).

There you go. Masks are just another way to bully and control people; an exercise in preparation for the totalitarian future as most of us are driven back to Serfdom; the most gullible idiots are already there, seen driving past in their own cars, completely alone!

And this gentleman has qualifications that suggest that he knows what he is talking about.

.....leave the nostrils free from the constraints of the suffocating face mask.

Anyone who is that stupid & feels a face mask is suffocating, would be better off dead anyway & one less mutt for the rest to worry about !

An excellent exposition of the foolishness of the current fad. One must question the wisdom of our Simple-Simon-Says style of government directives to do things that are often done only to be seen to be doing something. For millennia, plagues have been survived by quarantining only the unfortunate victims and their carers, leaving healthy people to develop immunities, cures and provide sustenance for everybody. Now we quarantine both sick AND healthy. Masks impede the inflow of oxygen and expulsion of carbon dioxide for a healthy body to function efficiently. Surely they should only be used where and when they are of benefit. How much longer must this mask-erade continue?

Story 1.
Using a facemask is like trying to catch mosquitoes with chicken wire.
Story 2.
A man demonstrated smoking in and out through a face mark.
I understand the virus is much smaller then burnt tobacco particles,

President Biden’s “100 Day Mask Challenge” Executive Order was signed on January 20, but it is not backed by any credible science. It is about continuing the psychological intimidation and control of American citizens.

The Bubonic plague was spread by rats! Today most folks don't use hankies, let alone share them.

They use, then dispose of paper tissues! However, if you must use infected hankies, don't share and boil between uses!

Other than that, use a disposable surgical mask, or serval cloth ones you can launder between uses. And on no account share! If laundering is for some reason not sufficient? Soak overnight in 50% beach 50% water.

Masks prevent aerosols, the mist you see on your breath on cold and frosty mornings, from infecting others. The purpose of a mask!

And if it's not covering the nose? Worse than useless!

Being filled with dread at the idea of wearing a medical mask strongly suggests a medical mental problem with the author, rather than a problem with a surgical mask! This is the sort of vexatious frivolous anti-mask BS Trump used until he fell sick himself!

Stop with the BS, or you'll go blind!
