(12,480 posts)Get with the program and fucking get over themselves and wear a godamn mask.
One of my friends whines about wearing one.
It's gotten old really quick.
She wears it indoors but does not wear it outdoors.
She seems to think being maskless outside protects her, but not from virus floating areosols. She does not seem to get it that the virus is airborne.

When are the rich going to pay!

(25,879 posts)waterfowl and pigs are raised together. They, among other things, eat each other's shit, pass the influenza virus back and forth while not affected themselves. If we could get China to alter some of their animal husbandry practices, the world would be a lot better off.
The wet markets are a problem, but not the primary one.
