It triggered me to wear a mask and gloves to Costco.
Being that my former career was in medicine, it quickly dawned on me that gloves cannot be used properly in the wild. You'd have to be constantly removing gloves and putting on new ones.
Not much after that it dawned on me that nobody is using a mask properly. Nobody is avoiding touching the face of the mask once it is donned and nobody is removing the mask without touching the face of the mask. Masks are being used over and over again. Thus masks are useless in the wild. Masks are far more likely to transmit pathogens of all types when used incorrectly. Nevermind Fauci multi-flopping on mask use.

For masks it really seems like everyone is playing into the fantasy of living in a post apocalyptic zombie wasteland even though no one is actually dying. It's like watching a bunch of grown people gleefully play an imaginary game.
Or LARPing, if you will. Probably because their normal lives were so boring and repetitive and uneventful, this whole shake-up has given them purpose and a sense of belonging to the cult and narrative.
Working in healthcare myself, people in the wild wearing gloves drives me and my coworkers insane like nothing else. While I think the masks are dumb too, people wearing gloves is even worse! I legit had a patient wear his gloves into the bathroom and then of course he touched his phone, keys, etc. right after that. My eye starts twitching when I see random people wearing gloves. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️😂😂😂
The poison pill was "just two weeks to stop the spread." It appealed to your sense of logic - certainly you could spare two weeks to end a plague. In that time, we gave them the benefit of the doubt to "figure it all out" - even when their policies was mind numbingly inconsistent and silly.
And then they slow walked 2 weeks to 18 months. And their policies became increasingly bizarre. But by that time, they had already developed a passionate core of followers willing to do anything to protect the cult.

I'm amused and saddened that the truth is literally in front of their faces.
Yeah it was kind of fun for a while. Now it's gotten old. Had covid it maybe lasted 3 days. It's not as advertised. Too much hype for a fucking cold.

Agreed.
Slowly, slowly, catch-ee monkey.
