The really crazy ones are alone in their car-driving-with windows rolled up & fully masked.

With two million illegals and 700,0000 got-a-ways form every country TB and hepatitis a b and c on the up tick masks may not go out of fashion soon and who knows what else the feds sure in the aren’t going to say anything about it it blows their game plan.

The democrats forced Biden and Harris on us never trust one.

It’s difficult not to notice that black folks make up the majority of the mask wearers.
Followed “women” in general.

I think there is something else going on with those types. I live in an area where rush hour has become more like a demolition derby. Over the last few months I have noticed that whenever I am nearly hit, or there is wreckage on the side of the road, it is very likely they are wearing a mask in the car. I doubt the mask is directly related, probably just a marker for some other trait.

Absolutely true account of what’s going on at the Girl Scout Summer Camp here in Salem-Roanoke, Virginia.

My granddaughter and her friends have loved the camp in years past, they didn’t go last year and they won’t comply with the nonsense this year, either.

The rules to attend the really great GS outdoor summer camp this year are the exact same rules as last years with one exception.

This year, campers and their drivers/parents ARE allowed to carpool but ONLY with someone who will be in the same camp group as the camper. Last year there was NO carpooling allowed, period.

Other than that, the rules are the same, and are as follows:

Though our 2022 health-related plans and procedures listed here are in response to COVID-19, Girl Scouts of Virginia Skyline Council is just as committed as we’ve always been to providing a memorable summer experience for every Girl Scout. To ensure summer camps run smoothly and safely, it takes effort from families, the community, and the Girl Scouts working together!

FAMILY EFFORTS FOR 2022 SUMMER CAMP SEASON
For the 2022 GSVSC Summer camp season, families must agree to the following:

Limit Contact
Campers and all persons in the family household will need to limit contact with others outside of the family household and avoid all non-essential travel for 10 days prior to and throughout all session(s) of Girl Scout summer camp. Travel and outside contact limitations include but are not limited to other summer camps, sporting activities, family outings, family gatherings, vacations, etc. For essential travel, a face mask should always be worn, social distancing should be maintained, and thorough hand washing should be practiced.

Required Testing
Campers will be required to be tested within 3 days prior to the first day at camp with continued limited contact outside of household and camp session(s). Only campers with a negative COVID-19 PCR test result will be permitted to attend camp. Parents/guardians must login to the camp registration site and upload a copy of the camper’s COVID-19 negative test results for camp records and show results at the time of arrival on the first day of camp.

Camper Transportation
Masks are to be worn by all persons during all travel to and from camp. Parents or guardians may be required to provide camper transportation to and from camp should we see a rise in COVID-19 cases. In this instance, camps would need to limit carpooling to the family household and/or within the camper’s assigned camp unit. Parents or guardians would be notified prior to camp should this occur.

Assigned Check-in & Check-out
Check-in and check-out times will be staggered, and campers will be assigned a set timeframe that must be adhered to for camper drop off and pick up.

Face Coverings
Campers are to bring at least two new/newly washed masks per day of camp. Masks must fit snugly, but comfortably against the sides of the face and be securable to the head. Reusable face coverings must be able to be washed/sanitized and dried without damage or change to shape. Masks are to adhere to CDC mask cleanliness guidelines. Masks will always be worn during transportation for drop off/pickup, when indoors, and any outdoor activities requiring campers to be within 3 feet.

Health Checks
Campers will undergo daily health checks for any symptoms such as fever (or need for fever-reducing medications) and chills, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting during camp session(s). Camp medical staff will consider any health information provided on the camper’s health form that may produce similar symptoms.

The old women in my church refuse to stop wearing masks - and actually press the mask to their face when someone approaches them.

You can only be saved by the mask!

Removing one’s mask is not at all the same thing as walking around with genitals exposed, but some put the two different acts in the same category.

Repeat after me - Masks. Do. Not. Work. Certainly not for the purposes claimed for them. Masks might stop a little particulate dust, but certainly not virus particles.

Masks are, and always have been, performance theater.

1) The masks that most people wear/wore are TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE AGAINST A VIRUS.

2) There is a large percentage of the population that is just too effing stupid to think critically.

3) COVID-19 was never a true health emergency; it has always been a Democratic Party tool for power and providing a windfall to their donors. PERIOD.

Yes, COVID is real and it has killed people and permanently injured others.

Freeper AC86UT89 said this on a thread, and I thought is was brilliant, revealing, and true:

"...Masks are democrats’ MAGA hats..."

Of course, in addition to being true, that statement likely has the happy side effect of causing some Leftist heads to explode by implying they might wear anything that could be compared to a MAGA hat!

Of course, they know their mask version of the "MAGA hat" is steeped in deception, control, fear, and totalitarianism while our actual MAGA hats represent quite the polar opposite with truth, freedom, bravery, and limited government.

Makes 'em crazy, which is always beneficial...:)

Pet peeve: while I agree with the author, clapping the suffix “aholic” onto words to indicate addiction or compulsiveness is so lazy and trite, and doesn’t even make sense as a matter of new word construction.

“......American Airlines

We should start thanking the people continuing to wear masks for covering their ugly , hideous faces. Thank you for protecting my retinas from your frightful mug.

Hopefully, someday soon the only place people will be wearing a mask is when passing notes to bank tellers.
