I've long said the data on the Wuhan virus in no way matched the hysteria visited on most of the U.S. and the world. (snip) Take a look at the data on multiple school systems in Florida: those with mask mandates vs. those where masks are optional: [graph] Note that the cases per 100K in school systems where masks are optional are significantly lower than those systems where masks are mandated. Joe Biden and his fellow mask apologists foolishly described the idea of states lifting mask mandates as "Neanderthal thinking."

Good luck changing anyone's mind at this point. Masks are the ultimate virtue signal.

While I agree that masks were probably unnecessary, this analysis is overly simplistic. Optional means that one could choose TO wear or NOT. The data says nothing about whether people made needlessly fearful still CHOSE to wear a mask even apart from being told they had to. Did they do it on their own anyway? The data also says nothing about how much other risks were evident. With or without a lockdown, were they still quarantining themselves. Many jobs were gone so many citizens stayed home. I am still anxious to see a proper in-depth analysis to explain what we saw and why.

South Carolina never had a state mask mandate either and the state has been open, except for large festivals like county fairs and Spoleto, since last May. Though in my area we’re still waiting for the idiot leftist mayor and city council to drop the mandate in the city of Charleston and in Charleston county. And I still don’t know a single person who has had the virus. After a year of this what are the odds of that? It has all been one big scam.

Trevor, the hidden purpose of the mask mandate wasn't to control the spread of covid19. It was to condition the masses to behave and conform to a political weapon.

My observation here in Texas is, from the start, most have only worn masks where required by a business. Although I have seen the occasional fearful masked while driving alone or walking, it has not been the norm. Most people I know have gathered normally as family and freinds. Over a year and I have only known one local who has had it.

Texas is a large state. Outside of the I-35 corridor, Metropolitan Harris County, and the Valley there are many counties that had very few cases. A one-size-fits-all top-down statewide mandate didn't make any sense. Besides, people were already taking precautions before any state mandate and continued to do so on the county level, where officials would actually be able to enforce it.

I was surprised when my sister in Dallas said yes, the governor of Texas ended the mandate but private businesses continue to require it upon entry into their stores. She said only a few stores were maskless. She also said a lot of her lady friends are keeping theirs on. They’re all Republicans, too. Go figure.

I've said it here before. Fauci has only been correct one time since this all started, and that was when he said masks don't work. After that, it's all been politically motivated BS.

I haven't worn a mask here in FL I expected some Karens to call 911 but it hasn't happened yet. Disingenuously, many stores have signs on the doors that say 'Due To State Regulations, We Require Masks To Be Worn". There IS NO state regulation to wear masks in FL, and by the time they'd call a cop for trespassing, I'd be done and gone.
I have made an observation though. There is a higher percentage of people wearing 'Virtue Signaling' masks in general stores like the supermarket, Target, and Walmart, than in what I'd call 'working stores' like Home Depot, auto parts stores, plumbing and electrical supply stores.
Maybe a little more critical thinking by people who do things for themselves?

In order to do business in Florida, you’ve worn a mask. The most ardent “anti-mask” people on the internet were probably the first in line to get the vaccine and love to spout off to assuage their guilt at being a phony patriot. I’ve been walking past these people every day since the inoculations began. The only store that I don’t have to wear a mask is Shoot Straight, a popular gun dealer and shooting range. They make a point of letting their customers know it’s a freedom-loving zone.

The author of this piece is absolutely right. The idea of breathing air you body needs to expel into a mask that captures part of the fetid air so that the wearer breathes it back into their body. This nasty stuff builds up and you can imagine what pollution you are inhaling at the end of a few hours. The whole idea of it is insane. Fresh air, sunshine and decent hygiene are basic to a healthy immune system, the first line of defense against illness. Our glorious leaders sent us back to the Dark ages when the kept the sick locked up in dark rooms with the windows down and curtains draw. naturally, they didn't do to well. Idiots!!

So, infection rates are higher when masks are worn? Or at least no worse.
Dr. Fraud is a lying political thug.

I keep saying if you have any extra money, invest in breathing equipment and medication. There will be millions, especially children who were made to wear masks, with lung problems in a few years. I never wore a mask, anywhere. Besides, I had the virus before I'd even heard of Corona. I thought it was just a mild flu.
