Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
The results of a two-year-long nation-wide experiment are conclusive. We nay-sayers were right all along: mask mandates do not stop the spread of Covid.
I’m ready to accept my apology. Let the crow-eating begin.

Just as many of us were saying two years ago; masks make useful personal infection control in relatively controlled environments. As a public health measure, they are about as useful as, well, not wearing a mask.
JD, did you send a copy to China?
Its not enough that you piss off Big Pharma by refusing the Jab, now you’re going to take on Big Mask?
Went for my annual checkup last week. One of the satellites of the UofM medical system. Not only are masks still required, but only their own cheap paper disposable masks. I have a mask with the phrase “This protects you from nothing” embroidered on it which was not allowed, of course. When I arrived some lady with a hi-tech “air filtration device” (I hesitate to term it merely a “mask”) was in an argument about not wanting to use the approved paper mask. She lost.
I spent the next 10 minutes fogging up my glasses until I figured out how to scrunch up the bottom a bit so my moisture-laden exhale could escape without bugging me. No one said a thing.
I did get guilted about not having gotten a vaccine.
You *do* know this is never going to end without some form of violence, physical or mental.
There never was any evidence that what the dictate required, a cloth face covering, prevented the spread of covid in a population.
The CDC now says that a cloth face covering offers the least level of protection.
For the last year you had people from all over, some of them doubtless infected with covid, crammed into airplanes cheek to cheek.
Ever heard of an airplane being the source of a covid cluster?
Me neither.
My dentist is still requiring masks, too.
your dentist is drilling and filling through a mask? i bet he/she/it wants to replace very silver filling and crown every hairline fissure. change dentists. you will never be required to wear a mask (unless mandated under threat of losing a license) in my wife’s office. It will cost you to get to TX, but good dentists are hard to find.
