The real reason for face mask mandates is not to stop the spread of the Covid virus. Despite all of the BS regarding overloading our health care system, the real reason is to prolong the "pandemic" into the fall elections in order to affect the outcome. If we had let this virus run its course, we would have had a few more deaths earlier in the infection cycle followed by its virtual elimination by the end of this summer as herd immunity set in.
Instead, we have done everything we can to perpetuate the infection rate into the next flu season, thereby increasing the ultimate number of casualties from this crusade. This is completely contrary to any rational reasoning save one: DUMP TRUMP!
The reason for the face masks is to not overwhelm the medical industry all at once with people who are sick. What's dumb is there are a lot of people, MOST PEOPLE, wouldn't even need to be hospitalized. They'll get a cold and move on with life.
Those who do get sick however... They either get the flu, that's what happened to me and a couple members of my family, or they die fuck'n horribly. Ever watch someone gasp for breath just to live? I have, my grandpa had a quarter of a lung for over half his life. His primary goal for over half his life was to breath. Putting him on oxygen didn't even do anything for him, because to give him enough to do anything, it would have burned his remaining lung. Did you know that? High concentrated oxygen is BAD FOR YOU. You have to dilute it with other gases or it'll fuck'n destroy your lungs.
He couldn't exercise... Hell, long conversations would wind him. He was still skinny as a rail... Why? Because chewing and swallowing food took time way from breathing.
If you're gonna die... I suggest you find another way to go about it.
This isn't directed toward the OP because they didn't really say anything against what I'm about to say... This is just my rant on the subject.
I'm PRO-CHOICE. What you do with your body is up to you. I don't believe I have the right to tell you what to do with your own body.
But don't be that asshole who makes fun of or demeans someone else for their choices on how they want to go about doing for their body. If they are wearing a mask obviously for medical reasons... Leave them alone. It's their choice.
PRO-CHOICE. If you don't feel I can tell you what you can or can't do with your body... Don't be a fuck'n hypocrite when you see someone without a mask. It's not your choice.
