Texas is lifting its mask mandate

[OldFartTom]

People freaking out about masks when there are actual statistics that show other factors such as obesity increase the risk of acquiring and dying of COVID by 10X. ..

Interesting results from vaccination studies, people who are obese (BMI >= 30) tend to develop half the level of antibodies post vaccination than non obese people.

Healthy At Every Weight ("HAEW")? my azz!

[LWW]

No offense but you are a slow guy.
Look at post number #74 and stop trying to compare dks online!
Does it make sense now!?
See the quotation marks?

At least I don’t seem like Don Lemon online. Cheer up, maybe you can come to the party one day!

[Farley1324]

I knew I was thicker than you! I’m 5 9 about 225 230 last time I checked.

I’m not bragging, I haven’t DLed 500 yet, might not till later this year. It’s actually sad, lol.

Sounds like you're saying you might be the most likely person in this thread to die if you catch covid. Interesting to literally claim you cannot get it

No, I was just having some fun, but since it’s sound like you got a stick in your azz. I weight train for serious strength not flaunting puffing muscles my training boasts immunity I eat for survival and strength and immunity. I don’t look it but I’m in better cardiovascular condition than your average bear, one day I’ll show you how to walk and sprint while carrying a 200# rock.

Btw Ben, my wife calls me speedy, and she says I’m quick on dish duty too, lol!!!

[Paul Kreul]

I think we have a challenger to sleepy Joe right here

There are legitimate complaints, and then there's your inability to comprehend anything lol

Farley here still thinks a cloth mask can stop a virus..
Please do us all a favor Farley, don’t contaminate the gene pool with your seed, thanks.

[TryingBB]

I’m gonna continue using one like I’ve been. I know people who have gotten the virus and for some it’s been brutal.

What do you think about the impotence claims of male virus survivors?

Didn't see that coming, sorry, I shouldn't joke about it. No hard feelings

[bodyhard]

I’m not reading the novels that the maskcel cucks are typing

But just know that me and my friends aren’t wearing masks anymore

Lol at u *******s srs

LOL Yo this sh!t had me cryig over here

[Gabbar99]

I have lots of family in Texas and they are pissed. They've barely kept their businesses afloat and just when we're almost out of the woods they're going to open up, which will likely lead to another wave and another shut down. Hopefully there won't be another wave, but some family members are really angry.

It's practically summer in Texas and vaccines are flooding out. They'll be fine

No cable tv crew here; is Don Lemon a guy you greatly admire or do you have other deeper issues that require a cognitive behavioral therapist to resolve?

[Mark1T]

"My doctor put a letter in my online portal saying I'm obese (6'1 208)"

ROTFLMAO, 208 at 6ft 1, ok hopefully no one checks that.........

Benny, even if you are obese, you have your mask to fall back on

Cable tv and radio can be seen or listened to online like YouTube. Judging by your responses and posts you and Don could be friends, lol.

Haha yea man it’s crazy.

The reason I don’t wanna do the vaccine just yet is also cuz we don’t know what the long term effects are in terms of effects on babies born to people recovered from covid and people who have received the vaccine.

Still not understanding your fascination with this dude; i still have my best friends from when i was young, so all good.

My needed sinus surgery is hating these masks right about now.

Just think how things will be after April, I told you a while ago late spring early summer, hence soon after Biden is in this will be all gone.

But it seems like Biden is gonna wanna hold on to Covid to scare everyone and have a campaign slogan?????????

We’ll see........,..........

That's not what you said.

And, everybody has been saying for a very long time that it should be far better by summer 2021. lol at taking credit for that

Interesting how many if the states that had massive mitigation efforts like California, IL, and other blue states aren’t as safe as some states that left it up to people to take care of themselves. Population density is the biggest driver, but it goes to show that mitigation efforts that have been in place, while somewhat effective, don’t do much. Nature gonna nature. IMO Johnson and Johnson vax will be the biggest game changer. Multiple companies producing it, simple storage, single dose

Its not surprising. IDK why these governors think free Americans will want to listen to nanny.

It’s human nature for a grown person to tell a nanny to fuk off.

I will wear the mask in public, but im sticking to my no underwear policy

[mtpockets]

as long as you wear pants, I am sure no one will complain

[GrouchyUSMC]

It should have been optional from the first place. If you felt it was important enough to wear, you can wear one without Big Brother telling you to.

I will be glad when I don't have to wear one at work or the store anymore. I don't wear it anywhere else.

[7Seconds]

Can't wait to see how many issues this causes with confusion like "I have the right not to wear my mask in your store! The government said so!" The number of people who will refuse a store's rules and then make a scene thinking they DESERVE to shop there is going to skyrocket. Lots of infantile meltdowns coming to YouTube soon.

I don’t like the idea of a mandate but at least by having a local mandate, it reduces pressure on local stores and their employees.

That was already happening with a mandate and no it the mask mandate puts pressure on stores to police all thier customers, the majority don’t want it.

The only store I’ve seen that seems to enjoy being as secured as the capital is the apple store which makes sense because that are a bunch of anti freedom fukers anyway. They got thier stores secured with a half dozen bouncers making sure no one steps in without an online appointment (they don’t take offline appointments) asking questions taking temps and handing out thier special masks.

And they are about the only company that could afford to pay for such loonasy as well.

Some issues (like pandemics) are population-wide issues, which require population-wide solutions. But from a personal perspective, I agree with you and don’t like the idea of my individual choices being taken away.

I’ve struggled while watching this whole thing play out. I would like to believe that with freedom comes responsibility, but that clearly isn’t the case. I wish more individuals would be aware of their impact on larger systems, and that they would voluntarily choose to do their part to help. Whatever that may be.

But... do I think the best solution is government mandates? No. In fact, I think it did way more harm than good for the government+media to politicize a heath crisis. In my opinion, the government and its politics completely screwed us over before the pandemic even happened, but that’s a story for another day.

I think the real solution was public education and neutral acceptance of responsibility. But we’re so far from having that kind of societal maturity that I honestly think we were doomed from the beginning... and no amount of government mandates was ever going to change that.

I've been wearing it in a nd out of businesses because that's the mask rules, but at our gym, we have to walk in with a mask and it can be removed while exercising - so we are all walking around with no mask upstairs in the weight/cardio area and wearing them in the common areas and locker room. I'm in Texas, and I suspect many businesses will still have "mask required" signs next week, and I am not gonna lose my mind if I go to these places I'll just put it on for that time.

I always rip it off at the door with a grand gesture like - I'm FREEEEEE
