1. Even though I'm vaccinated I've gone back to wearing a mask

in public indoor areas. Just got a package of N95s, which are now easy to obtain, and will use those.

9. "Don't be a statistic."

One of my favorite and most frequently used admonishments.

Along with, "Don't become a habitat."

3. But Republican politicians say that masks are not important.

So it all balances out. The right will want proof, and not from some overeducated, liberal, sheeple scientists. Proof from Fox or proof from the pulpit. After all, the scientist are making money off or Covid just like they have been off or climate change.

I am thinking that we are doomed.

4. I'm Vaxed

So I'm good. Like the 500 people celebrating at President Obama's party, I'm not going to worry about it and will move on with my life.

5. Thank you for being selfish.

This is a public health crisis, and all responsible ciizens need to do their part to keep those who cannot be vaccinated healthy, those whose immune systems were unable to create sufficient immunity, and to prevent the development of variants that will ultimately defeat the vaccine.

6. The incident that convinced me was the teen girl daring a teen boy to blow

out a candle with a mask on. He was appropriately called a “dumbass” after he struggled and failed.

7. A (GOP) person told me today, there are so many cases of COVID cuz of "illigal aliens"

A (GOP) person told me today, there are so many cases of COVID cuz of "illegal aliens" ..... blaming it all on Hispanic people.

THE GOPS are sucking down the kool aide.

8. Remember reading they buy you 7 minutes. Opening

a window and creating airflow helped more. But a mask WILL buy you 7 min. It's what will save many lives. And no matter what - don't hang out with many unmasked unvaccinated crazies inside a building.
