The Man in the Ironed Mask

Yet, in the U.S., wearing a face mask when healthy has become discouraged to the point of becoming socially unacceptable. The U.S. government, in line with World Health Organization recommendations, says only those who are sick, or their caregivers, should wear masks. [More]
When I went to the doctor a bit ago, they made me wear one. I figure they and their risk management weenies must know something about the odds.

I don't think a medical mask is what Col. Cooper had in mind when he said:" a man wearing a mask is a target."

We deserve to know WHO made the decision to off-shore most, if not all, medical supply production to the PRC.

Anyone in DC trust the Communists?

If you want to wear one, wear one anyway. How is anybody going to know whether or not you are sick?

Notwithstanding, the reanimated Time Magazine is one of the MSM outlets I trust least of all.

Time magazine form letter to persons complaining about the magazine's firearms coverage, August 1, 1989:

The July 17 cover story is the most recent in a growing number of attempts on the part of TIME editors to keep the gun-availability issue resolutely in view. Such an editorial closing of the ranks represents the exception rather than the rule in the history of the magazine, which has always endeavored to provide a variety of opinions and comment, in addition to straightforward news reporting ... But the time for opinions on the dangers of gun availability is long since gone, replaced by overwhelming evidence that it represents a growing threat.

In the old days we said "even a broken clock is right twice a day."

In that vein, "Time" was right when they wrote, "But the time for opinions on the dangers of gun availability is long since gone, replaced by overwhelming evidence that it represents a growing threat."

Unfortunately they didn't answer the question raised by that statement.

Growing threat to whom?

Then maybe wearing a mask will cause people to keep their distance.
