[Ask the Gulch] Do you think it's time for school boards and everyone else to drop the mask charade?

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
Felt uncomfortable, too, for breathing my own carbon dioxide; and when you need a cane like old dino, extended walks in a hospital makes you breathe heavier.
I came up for air at every opportunity mostly but not always when people weren't looking. That's because I saw a few other masked people cheating too. Air! Air! Gimme air!
Compounding the stupidity of it all was the hospital's cafeteria. Not a mask in sight as people ate and talked, ate and talked. Workers there weren't even wearing masks.
BUT the self-serve soda fountains with crushed ice kerplunkers were all shut down, for our useless protection.
I say useless because we all had to with bare hands open the glass doors of fridges to reach in while inhaling and exhaling to fetch soda cans and bottles of water or whatever.
Forrest Gump was right: "Stupid is as stupid does."
Remember that Tip O'Neill correctly said, "All politics is local." Bob Heinlein wrote a book about local politics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Ba...
Who was the Roman sage who said that the Roman citizen cares not for the Legions in far away places, but instead for the pebble in his own shoe?
The mask / muzzle / face-diaper / talisman / virtue-signaling / compliance-endorsing device has essentially been feckless.

I have no idea what happened between her and Giuliani. I respect them both.
BTW, I like your moniker, evlwhtguy. Me too, LOL!
Governor of WA has moved up the drop mask date nine days earlier to March 12th. I'm confident those 9 days early will resolve the whole issue politically. He must feel 9 days early will secure his next reelection.
If that fear were lifted, would the boards be more apt to release the blanket restrictions?
Maybe that was only a single consideration but that release will allow a more focus on the other reasons.
If they are in fear of litigation. Litigation brought on by who or what injured party? There may be a figment of a possible injured party that would not manifest.
So, it must be determined, what are they (school board members) scared of
In this case, you have RISK/REWARD... A concept EVERYONE learns early on, from grabbing a hot dish,
to jumping off a cliff into clear water. To crossing a street.
And we GET IT WRONG. But, for the most part, we are responsible for those decisions.
This is 100% correct. Government and the Media should be TELLING US how to interpret the ACTUAL risk.
Not making us REALLY SCARED of something, and TELLING US HOW to behave. This is insanity.
And the guilty are clueless. We had an IDIOT on NextDoor, messaging out 5,312 people died yesterday from Covid.
Blaming Trump, and reminding us this is worse than a 9-11 event, every day. (Granted he could not discern OF Covid vs With Covid),
and He could not show EXCESS deaths. And if you ASKED, you were labelled a grandma killer, and banned, as every life is precious!
And that is the last piece. Their should be nothing EMOTIONAL about science. Ebola is incredibly lethal.
Just tell me it is in my neighborhood, and I will probably not go out for a while. Because I can calculate RISK/REWARD for myself.
Crazy Times...
Thanks for sharing!
