Actually I didn't figure that out, so thank you! I was wondering what was going on - wasn't intuitive to me.

Yes, I think that's right. And Madeline Kahn wound up with the Bride of Frankenstein hairdo. Hilarious. Don't get me started on the Cloris Leachman character.

My sentiment is that if it makes you "feel good" to wear a mask, you're free to wear one for the rest of your life if you so desire. It's simply a nuisance, as far as I'm concerned, and I'm sure that most people around here view it as such.
Science, epidemiology, statistics, and medicine all disagree with you. What a strange position to take. When you go to the doctors, do you ignore what he/she advises?

Who said anything about wearing a mask for life? Only you. It sounds like you see mask wearing as something you either don't do at all, or do forever. What a strange position to take.

Wow, you don't get it AT ALL.

I did recently find a Catholic Church nearby that doesn't require masks or for people to sit a certain distance apart. It's nice to be able to attend a Mass that is fairly normal. It seems that many people with leftist inclinations want to delay a return to normal as long as possible. ermm
Your theory, huh?

How about this: "It seems that many people with rightist inclinations want to extend Covid-19 as long as possible."

See how stupid that sounds?

Completely predictable. Listen to the CDC, not the politicians.

Yeah, that finger thing is starting to seem like the single-digit representation of the poster's IQ.

Don't you get tired of explaining this (explaining very well, by the way) over and over?
