    I've seen A LOT more people out these past two days. Parks, schools and just driving down the street. Bunch of kids at the parks playing ball and skating.

    I read The Great Influenza years ago, including information about the anti mask league. I thought what a bunch of morons. Never imagined there would be a new pandemic and the anti mask league would be led by occupant of the white house. Live and learn. Masks now latest culture war, symbol of the terrible persecution of entitled white males.

    A Wisconsin business has banned customers wearing masks. Rightists have verbally and physically assaulted store personnel who tell them to wear masks.

    Fox News has extended their work from home through June. So well paid Fox pundits sit in their comfortable homes railing against masks and social distancing while social distancing..

    It was a joke alright but an unintended joke. I, myself, laughed my ass off when he said it.

    Seems like a weird hill to die on, but hey, whatever floats their boat.

    I know you can be ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt, but damnit it's my constitutional rights!!!1!

    Typical budgeting tool for State governments, always purchase enough for a surplus or no use at all.

    It seems there's some sort of irony at work here.

    Obviously it was a joke. You may want to check snopes though, you can never be too sure if a random person is allowed to have an opinion or not.

    Uber driver who claimed coronavirus was 'made-up' says in interview from his hospital bed that he wishes he'd stayed home and worn a mask after potentially giving it to his wife who he fears is on the brink of death
    • Up until April 2, Brian Lee Hitchens said he didn't fear coronavirus
    • But by April 19 both he and his wife Reverend Erin Hitchens were in hospital
    • Erin has been on a ventilator for three weeks which he called 'sad' and 'tough'
    • He said in an interview from his hospital bed: 'It wasn't some made-up thing. This was a real virus you gotta take seriously'
    • Looking back I should have wore a mask in the beginning but I didn't and perhaps I'm paying the price for it now,' he said
    • Hitchens said he hopes god and his wife forgive him if it turns out he passed it on to his wife who is showing no sign of improvement in the ICU
