Who thinks the 12 people who selected "my face is too pretty to cover with a mask" should reveal their lovely mugs?

And who is Kris?

Oh yeah, and Dave B, saying there has never been a law about masks seems a bit disingenuous. If I can be fined hundreds of dollars for non compliance, seems like a law to me:

If you really want to be outdoors without a mask on, then getting a vaccine seems to make your life easier... otherwise, it seems like masking up is better :-k :?

Given this recent survey by Gallup, not a right-wing organization, liberals get the facts and science on Covid more wrong than Republicans. For instance, 40% of liberals believe that the chances of someone getting hospitalized with covid is 50%+, when it is in fact 1-5%.

Therefore, it is not absurd to conclude that at least 40% of the people in this forum have no f***ing idea of the science and facts behind covid.

It's simple, those who choose to pledge submissiveness to the Government & MSM Fear Train are free to do so, and those who choose to live free of the fear mongering can do so as well.

Reminds me of the Terror Threat Alerts after 9/11, they weren't designed to manage your safety, they were designed to keep you in a fearful state.

Always question the government and never pledge loyalty to a political party or you look as ridiculous as both the Rs & Ds during this whole COVID-19 fiasco.

Regarding the chart above why would a 'fully vaccinated' person find wearing a mask situational? Fully vaccinated sounds like the wrong term to use then.

I read the other day that covid exposure from walking by someone, such as on a trail, is virtually impossible. I liken it to the people driving alone or walking their dog by themselves as people who have a poor understanding of all this.
"Quicker than I can tell it, my hands failed to hold, my feet slipped, and down I went with almost an arrow’s rapidity. An eternity of thought, of life, of death, wife, and home concentrated on my mind in those two seconds. Fortunately for me, I threw my right arm around a projecting boulder which stood above the icy plain some two or three feet." Rev. Elijah Lamb
