    Stay safe, Mike.

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        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

                                        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.

                                          I'm not disagreeing with what you said, and, once again, I think people should mask.

                                          But my point is that models of aerosol spread, etc don't necessarily reflect effectiveness in preventing spread. What happens in a petri dish isn't necessarily what happens in the real world.
