    Fortunately for me, all the volunteer jobs that I currently work at (two farms and a food pantry) are real good about expecting all the volunteers to wear masks.

    If they didn't, I would volunteer at those places until the virus pandemic gets a lot better at some point.

          Minnesoooooota has a statewide mask requirement beginning later this week for indoors or any situation when social distancing is not possible.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  The problem with satire these days is that there are a lot of imbeciles out there who do not recognize it.

                      I wonder how the people around him resist the temptation to push his head into the toilet and pull his underpants over his head.

                      I was only joking

                                        However, the burden of proof is that you have to show that they work.

                                          I've read several articles and even watched a VR simulation of droplet & aerosol spreading, showing how masks of various fiber densities are effective in dampening the spread. It's not like this shit's a secret.
