Subject: RE: BS: New news on the pandemic COVID-19
The bias all lies in the minds of mask supporters, who, understandably, adopt the precautionary principle, in spite of the lack of real evidence (which neither Donuel, Maggie nor anybody else is able to provide). That is a very respectable position, and, as I've always said, one that I do respect. When the law told me to wear a mask, I wore a mask, every time, without demur. I am not a denier or a rebel. But, when masks are voluntary, which they have been for almost all of my life, I'm not going to wear one. I've had my jabs and I'm in good health. If I feel poorly I'll stay at home and not emerge until I've had a lateral flow test. I have a good supply of the test kits, I've tested myself twice and been ok both times (I've had two of the other type of test too, ditto). I comply with the rules and do even more. I'm seventy and am a bit chesty, but I want to live out my life normally, which means you can see my face laughing, smiling, frowning and sticking my tongue out at you. I won't miss the opportunity to do the sotto voce swearing. Wear you mask if you want to and I'll support you. I won't be wearing one, but I don't expect similar respect from the sanctimonious mask aficionados. Too bad.
