#2 I've noticed that mask wearing has picked up locally. Apparently a bunch of people have noticed friends a relatives kicking the bucket. Now if they could only figure out that leaving your nose outside your mask is not a good idea.

#3 whiny rejectionism about the new normal created by the pandemic

I definitely reject the idea that this pandemic has created a new normal, whiny rejectionist that I am. Both the Asian flu (157-58) and Hong Kong flu (1968) killed over a million, worldwide. Neither created "a new normal".

Talk to me about a new normal when the death toll tops a million. Or the 30-40 million from AIDS.

#4 They were telling us all Winter and into spring that masks didn't work well enough to be worth the effort.

Now I'm supposed to take the magic numbers of some geek as gospel? I don't think so. They're required in stores here so I'll put up with it but it's not gonna be willingly.

#5 (a) AC they were afraid there wouldn't be enough (special masks) for med personnel - yea, I know.
(b) Figure it out yourself. If you breath through fabric, would - at least - some aerosol viruses stick and not get through?
