Your regular reminder that Texas and Florida abandoned all covid restrictions of any kind at the beginning of March, in what was described as a "neanderthal" move, and that cases there have been flat as a pancake ever since. (twitter.com)

I live in Texas and you wouldn’t believe the amount of hysteria from some people when they removed the mask mandate. I can’t wait when it comes out that masks were purely psychological

I live in kentucky and it was really strange how 5 minutes after they lifted rthe mask mandate everyone seemed to forget about covi ever happening. I was at a super crowded fireworks show tonight with thousands of poeple shoulder to shoulder and not one person was wearing a mask. I was joking with my wife that "about a month ago people were calling me insane and ignorant for not wearing a mask, and now that teh TV told them to take it off, they all took it off... Do they still think I was such a madman for not wearing one last month?"

It is mind blowing how controlled people are without even knowing it.

Not sure it ever will; unless it's on page 10 of a newspaper in a small op-ed that nobody cares about.

It will probably be in the public notices section of the classified ads of some newspaper based in the middle of nowhere, just to satisfy the legal requirements that it should be publicly published.

In the city there were stores with signs saying "We STILL require masks."

Like, they specifically had signs printed up.

The masks were always psychological.

Even from the narrative, the masks are supposed to protect others. Not you. You are not protected from Covid with a mask. You never were.

The policy was, in March of 2020, that since asymptomatic transmission was extremely high, the virus could last on surfaces for weeks, and it would take 14 days for anyone to show symptoms, it was prudent for everyone to wear masks until we could establish who was even sick.

Except:

  • The virus does not survive on surfaces very long
  • The virus does not take 14 days to show symptoms
  • Asymptomatic transmission is actually low

Every justification for a mask mandate is false or fraudulent.

On a side note. I get very bad allergies from weed pollen. In order to keep myself safe from weed pollen I have to wear this. I'm not kidding. This is the level of protection I need from pollen. Which, I will remind you, is hundreds or thousands of times larger than a virus.

Then, there's the idea that in order to stay secure from a virus... you don't need gloves. Yeah, you do. Fuck your stupid ass hand sanitizer, you need to be wearing gloves if you don't want to be sick.

So, that 3M face mask and gloves are what you should be wearing right off the fucking bat, if you want proper protection from this virus. Not some stupid cloth mask that you don't wash, or a fucking M95 mask which you effectively can't clean and need to buy an infinite supply of, and it's only to stop you from spreading it. It never kept you safe.

I've genuinely seen Leftist Hysterical Covidiots wearing masks mocking someone wearing a full size gas mask. He was in his 60's or 70's and it was clear it was military gear from Vietnam. He was also wearing gloves. He was the only person in the store wearing proper protection from covid. Everyone else is just playing along with the orders of the establishment, and the Leftists think they are the smart ones by mocking the only person in the store wearing adequate protection.

Have you tried changing your diet to get rid of your allergies? Mine completely went away when I changed my diet.

The only thing I've done different is ingest bee pollen, which has made a mild improvement.

I eat a tablespoon of raw honey before bed. You can look up the sleep benefits to doing that. It has to be raw though; once you warm it in tea etc it isn’t raw anymore.

Anyway, I’ve realized my former allergies were more an inflammatory reaction to what I was consuming. Once I cleaned up my diet, they stopped.
