    Finding a mask in the crowd is a little like Where’s Waldo

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Remember when right wingers not wearing masks was the burning platform? I guess we have plenty of evidence now how flawed and political that media rant was.

        Masks are old news, riots are cool.

          Any place not wearing masks now won't ever wear masks until the hospitals become overwhelmed, which I am predicting will not happen. On the other hand it will be interesting to see when the places wearing masks will end the practice. Everybody around here is wearing them. I presume everybody on the streets of NYC is too.

          Education is extremely important.

            Wearing masks is a good idea. The fact that it became political is a disgrace just like the blame game.

            I am currently reading about how protesting outside is safe. Haha haha. If only I could insert all the rhetoric from the last two months about how everything is unsafe. But watch how people are trying to thread the needle. It goes like this, protesting is not so unsafe except for the tear gas of the brutal racist police and for the minor elevated risk it is totally worth it to save our society.

              Human brains have not evolved to see absurdity in group-think. There is in fact great advantage in being a true believer in group-think, I mean until your side loses a war or something.

                The dopamine hits alone are compelling. Being on the right team and advancing in rank like a Boy Scout via badge earning events is how it’s organized.

                  That video is crazy to see. But I guess inevitable. Hard to keep a society down for too long when the enemy is relatively “invisible”.

                    Makes me wonder, statistically, given the number of people in the casino, how many likely carry the virus.

                    Sure, I could be wrong, everything's fine, really. But, that's just nuts! No way would I be there, even with mask on and splashing anti-virus slop all over myself 14 times per hour.

                    As Jon would say. . . Jesus (!)

                      Thank God no unhealthy, overweight or elderly people ever go into casinos.

                      I was only joking

                        Those people aren't gambling with money. They are gambling with their lives.

                            Yeah, that would be my luck.
                            Jackpot!!!

                            Then in a couple of weeks, I'm feet-up, they use the jackpot money to pay for my funeral, then find out there's not enough left over to pay the tax on the winnings, and on and on and on.

                            Just forget it. Thanks Ax, you ruined everything.

                            I'll take the suitcase out of my car. I'm not going.
