Thank you and happy chatting!
I recently caught my chud family member watching some dumb youtube video about "experts lying about COVID" (yes, chuds are still malding), and like, what's the fucking point anymore?
You can be as gracious, understanding and in good faith as possible, but people will believe whatever nonsense some idiot influencer says is the truth. It makes me so mad, and unable to argue with these people, because their irrationality makes me irrational. Fuck.
Anyway, how are y'all doing? 
I dunno. I got through covid with simple non n95 maks. I think they were more effective than our intuition holds. I am not nit picking. I just think this is cool in an optimistic sense
This is better than nothing, but you can drive for years without a seatbelt and not have any problems. Who thinks it’s safe to drive this way? (I know lunatics who do, but still…)
A cloth mask, or anything covering your mouth and nose, has to be better than nothing.
And for sure they are, but n95's are best and since the stockpiles were depleted and/or expired and manufacturing capacity was at nil and shipping was jammed a lot of people died that didn't need to, not to mention the credibility erosion that could get more people killed in the future as well.
On the other hand a lot of people started questioning the USA in general so that's something but I'd still rather that happened without unnecessary pain and suffering.
my friend Cleetus McDiabeetus got through covid never masking
n95s are way better than surgicals, which are way better than nothing
