"Memo to all: WHO has ended the Pandemic. You are now free to take off your mask and leave the darn thing off. Unless, like so many here in the sunny Bay Area, you’re (a) going to commit a crime and don’t want your face showing, or (b) are among the 'vaccinated and multi-boosted' who seem to cling to the mask as a talisman, perhaps the better not to worry what ill health will befall them next.
"I know the rest of the country isn’t necessarily like this, but here we seem stuck in a twilight zone of willful masking, most notably among our large Asian population, but also very strikingly among the heavily indoctrinated teenage population. I see people struggling to breathe behind cloth or paper/plastic nosebags in stores, offices, in their cars, in the gym, and walking on the street. Will this latest news flash from WHO change that? I can only hope!
"The talisman aspect can’t be denied. The sad fact is that the 'vaccinated' and 'boosted' are far more susceptible to COVID (and death, and so many other ills, small and large) than those of us who eschewed the jab.
...
"This brings up the other reason people just ought to stop. Masks are not just useless; they are 100% not healthy. Some medical posts posit that 'long covid' is actually respiratory fatigue from breathing through a mask and inhaling particles on the math. Cloth or paper, they’re all bad.
"Finally, I will say that I’ve made it a rule (in most cases, and yeah, rules are there to break occasionally) not to engage with masked people. I act as if they don’t exist. That’s partly because any interaction would be stilted by their mask, and partly because I figure the odds are that they are either totally ignorant, mired in fear, or mindless lefties making yet another stupid holier-than-thou statement."
Well, Terry, with that attitude, you don't have to worry about engaging with anyone unless they are as utterly stupid as you are!
