    I agree with you RR and I wish our governor did also. I notice that despite his dictates he will remove his mask in public at press conferences, I guess so he will look better on camera. Typical politician hypocrisy.

    I saw a doctor interviewed last night (wish I had made note of her name) who startlingly said that we really don't know how the Pfizer vaccine works in that we don't even know if it protects completely against infection,or if it only protects against life-threatening outcomes. That would explain continued mask wearing--at least for awhile.

    No one is trying to control you. People that think that have more issues than the virus.


    Is there any reason to wear a mask after coronavirus is really no threat? Well ... they do provide good sun protection.

    In Asian countries, at least, they're used during flu season.

    The key here is "after coronavirus is really no threat". Or whatever comes next will no longer be a threat or the next virus after that.....

    It's interesting with the upcoming holidays... we have received invitations to "share" Christmas with one or two different extended families and... while I would love to do that... I keep coming back to the fact and myself and one of my children work in a warehouse environment, and that other workers in that environment have tested positive over the last couple of weeks. While we are still okay, I don't consider us "safe" to be joining others outside our immediate household. I love that we are being thought of, though, and hope to connect with family in other ways.

    I truly worry about the "numbers" after the holidays. I pray that everyone will give the gift of safety and health to others this holiday season by doing what is right and so easy to do - mask, social distance, etc.

    Meanwhile, while we’re busy bickering about the evil of being forced to wear masks, in Australia they are averaging about 10 cases per day, almost all of them quarantined travelers arriving from other countries. Everything has opened back up and life is normal. And no one is dying from covid.

    My family has decided to postpone the Christmas celebration to the Summer Solstice.

    That's a nice alternative.

    That is a brilliant solution if everyone is on board with it.
