They were against them before they were for them before they were against them.
And now I guess they’re for them.
I think it was only the Surgeon General who was against them, and the immediate need was to stop the public from buying medical grade masks because government was caught short handed for medical workers and first responders.
Even now they aren’t recommending medical grade for the public. But they ARE recommending masks.
It’s not that hard to wear one for a couple of months, to protect others.
I want to know how acceptable it will be to wear a mask in public some time in the future when no one has any special concern about this virus or any other virus. Will I be able to go into a bank wearing a mask? Will a police officer demand that I reveal my face while he talks to me?
The thing that bothers me more than anything is the concept that the rules just change from day to day and I have to be good little sheep and that I MUST do this until they tell I CANNOT to this and if I wait long enough they will insist again that I MUST do this. I am a free man. I won’t play that game.
