Just finished up my first flight back and forth from San Diego to Texas. I saw plenty of patriotic masks. Lots of people half-wearing them. Not covering their noses. Even a pilot.

Not that I care, just an observation.

True on the Patriotic masks. Just got back from a marathon travel day from St. John>St. Thomas (ferry)>Puerto Rico>Baltimore>Chicago yesterday. So was able to see a lot. Was really surprised to see how busy the Baltimore airport was, but that was my first visit to that airport. Side note: They cancelled our non-stop from Chicago to PR, hence the extra stop.... gay.

San Juan was basically a ghost town, probably because they require a Covid test for any person entering the country for any reason. Kind of a hassle when you don't have symptoms. Had to lie and say we had been around someone and I said I had diarrhea, lol. Wife went with sniffles and aches. Then you have to fill out forms for PR and St. Thomas. Have a QR code ready and then you're good. St. Thomas the National Guard guy didn't even want to look at our tests. Said we were fine. This is US National Guard, well USVI technically I believe but US federally funded. Makes one wonder why he didn't care is what I thought walking away.

On the plane Southwest is still doing no middle seat unless you're flying with a group. We had the kids so we just go to the back and we usually have the row in front of us and behind empty on the flights we've taken. I wear a hat and use a neck pillow and gaiter for my mask. Tip the hat down like you're sleeping and boom, not wearing a mask for 4 hours straight and the flight attendant wouldn't even know (window seat helps). My kids is getting a damn rash on his face from all the mask wearing. Sucks as he's least likely to die at 7 years old and 100% healthy, but he's "protecting others....." bullshit.

Until there's a major identifiable "super spreader" type event from air travel, I think they can bounce back. Hotels are also doing a good job and the guest as well with things like elevators and such. Did see a few freaks wearing two masks and a face shield. I don't think they got the memo that's not helping and probably making it worse having to adjust and keep all the gear in place.

I take precautions, I distance, I use a mask when in public. But this is sure starting to feel like a hoax...

They call it the “deadly virus” which is an exaggeration.

Since the CDC says 94% of the dead had 2+ health problems, that leaves 6% died of Wuhan/Corona virus.

200,000 x .06=12,000 have died of the virus. 12,000 people also die falling down stairs each year in the USA.

The reaction to the virus was politically motivated to get mail in voting and generally fuck up the economy and get people pissed off so they vote for the welfare loser party.

It's as real as last years flu season, and shouldn't have been treated any more seriously than Sars, H1N1, Avian Flu, or Zika.

Hiking Mt Davidson one of the best things to do in SF. Maskholes everywhere outdoors in nature despite being prob 30 ft apart. The agitprop runs deep with the SF leftoids. Why would anyone do this to their kids?!

Two weeks ago I was kicked out of my gym. I was wearing the mask jogging on a treadmill, lowering it to breathe once in a while. i guess some Karen saw me and called the front desk. I was in a row of empty machines at least 30 ft away from the nearest person.

The desk dweeb stalked me in the creepiest way before coming up and giving me some kind of sanctimonious lecture about whether i needed mask instructions. I had the mask up when he approached. He flitted around (prolly gay) and came back at me when i took another breath. I told him he was in idiot, and blew up on him pretty good (highly uncharacteristic of me). He touched me on the shoulder and i left the club fuming. He froze my account. i asked at another branch if the freeze had any documentation, and was told, no, and they just re-activated it. He froze it without authorization and probably lied that I asked for it to be frozen. I doubt with clubs struggling, higher management would have been on board with this as it is loss of revenue not to mention potential bad publicity or even lawsuits.

At the other branch, I see people taking the masks off, sticking their noses out, leave them hanging off one ear etc. all the time. i guess you have to be somewhere where you can spot the Karen Red Brigade before they spot you. As soon as Santa Cruz police refused to enforce Newsom's beach mask edict, hardly anyone at the beach wears them.

My wife was stalked by this guy, too. She says they kicked out a Mexican guy who was wearing a red Trump t-shirt (in Santa Cruz, what balls!). She also said a friend observed a Karen and a patron getting into a physical fight over the 'way to wear masks', even though the Karen and target were both wearing masks.

So, welcome too the great reset of socialism and the surveillance state, with Covid as it's shallow pretense.

If they can get us to fight each other, they don't have to worry about us fighting them.
