"Much has been made about the partisan divide" in support for strategies designed to limit the spread of COVID-19, such as mask-wearing, social distancing and travel restrictions, Barry said.

What divide? I was willing to go along until you began turning it into a form of obedience training.

Cool.

I get to use my naked face Superpower some more.

[JonPreston]

😂

[afchief]

I refuse to wear a mask ANYWHERE!!!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Your exposed face will automatically mean everyone around you gets the virus, no matter how many shots you’ve had!

Fine, virus me, I wanna get this over with.

Let us stop refering to people as “expert” and start naming names.

Why are Covid infections going up as vaccinations go up?

[matt04]

Amen.

This is such bad policy from a public health perspective. If the message is get vaccinated but you will be under all the same restrictions indefinitely, more and more people will say, then why the hell should I get the vaccine??

Do any of these damnfools ever think through the consequences of their policies?

[Boogieman]

Take the vaccine! But we don’t know if the vaccine works.

... and wear your mask! But we don’t know if the masks work.

... and stay home! Even though in NY most of the people who got COVID were the ones who stayed home.

Just do what we say and stop asking so many darn questions!

All part of the plannedemic plan.

The health Hitlers are drunk with their power and are not about to relinquish it peacefully.

Not a fan of masks myself.
I have limited my casual social contact some last year.
Mostly just by avoiding stores that have a regional clientele.
Oh yeah, also took my shoes off when going inside my house if I had been to a regional store.
Don’t know if any of that made a lick of difference.

It’s especially silly for me to wear a surgical mask with my full beard! But if asked I do.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Yup! It’s a big lie.. and they are even admitting it.
Nothing can stop a virus.

[Boogieman]

Speaking of “old and fat”, does the social distancing radius start at the center of the body or at the outside? Because 3 feet from the center of some fat people could mean they would be sweating on me...

[mrsmith]

“The fear and hysteria...”

Ha!
Was just rewatching early episodes of “The Last Ship” and wondering if it had had an effect on people’s perceptions of the virus.

[BenLurkin]

Open everything.

Now!

[Tax-chick]

Do any of these damnfools ever think through the consequences of their policies?

No. They also don't experience any consequences no matter how poorly their policies work out.

[mund1011]

Not a fan of masks myself. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Let's start wearing these

[lightman]

Agreed.

If this is a “new normal” my choice (as in my body, my choice) is to be ABNORMAL!

[cdcdawg]

Good question! I hope we get clarification before my next trip to Walmart.
