This stupidity needs to end immediately. The brainwashed are out en masse in stores wearing masks when they aren't required. And required or not, they're a stupid attempt at control of the human mind.
Sadly, it's working. I'm in the minority walking around breathing freely.
I always say it's like kicking dirt through a chain link fence
Which is almost exactly what PBS said about it.
"All of America, it seemed, put on masks. At last, many thought, they were safe. But masks didn't help. They were thin and porous -- no serious restraint to tiny microbes. It was like trying to keep out dust with chicken wire."
"A resolution shot through Congress, giving the Public Health Service a million dollars to fight the flu. Biochemists around the country worked feverishly to develop a vaccine. [...] But even vaccines didn't help."
