#13  Starting to wonder if the masks are going to make this worse. Consider that all coronaviruses are notorious for creating a short lived immune response. Something between 3 and 12 months. If that's true, and if the masks actually reduce R-naught (both big "ifs") then there could be a sweet spot where the masks make this thing perpetual. In other words, they slow the infection down to the point where it doesn't burn out before people who already had it start to lose immunity. Fun, right?

#12  Leveraging his fame to demonstrate physical violence upon 'racists' and 'mask holes' is no longer cosplay, but encouragement to commit assault those who are not on board his idea of how others must live.

Says it himself; I'm going to go to the beach and talk about shooting them in the face and if they don't like that, they're racist.

#8   Allan Pan shows why diversity is our strength.

Allan Pan shows what happens when young engineers have free time and decide to test answers to all their nerdy ComicCon wonderings. Before the Rona he made flamethrower Kung Fu fists and tried shooting at Wonder Woman bracers to see where the bullets would go.

What he gleefully demonstrated was that this is not an effective solution, even if it were not assault.

#7   'I even brought my running shoes in case things got, y'know, racist.'

Be tough to outrun a bullet. Factually, speaking.

#4  Just went to vote in meaningless primary. But I went to the poll. It was actually busy. I told every poll worker they are what makes America great, voted and moved on. I'll be voting in person in November too.

The mask thing is a bad joke, but it's not worth losing your dignity over.

#3  Yesterday I thought this was all clever.

The Mask Gun debut!

#2  Yea, let's celebrate violence against those who do not voluntarily comply.

So he goes down to Huntington Beach, notes 1/4 have on masks, and wants to try out his invention, and says this:

'I fully expect people to get angry at me,' Pan said in the video. 'I even brought my running shoes in case things got, y'know, racist.'


Yesterday I thought this was all clever. This here, well, I guess this was an exercise born of antagonism instead of curiosity.
