You're being asked to wear a mask, not take a bullet in the gut or drag yourself from miles out in the desert on your stomach with no water.

Its so easy, a caveman could do it.

Just saw Foochi-Woochi in a PSA
saying wear a mask, save a life.
Odd, I remember the little
midget 'doctor' saying just
the opposite a couple months ago:

"Masks? You don't need no
stinking masks. Masks are
stupid, man, that makes you
stupid if you wear a mask."

Which Foochi do we believe?
How about none of them..

The one who says wear a mask. Pretty easy to understand that. I am not trying to take away any rights; it just mistakes to do what you can to protect others and yourself even if it isn't perfect.

The problem with not telling the truth in the beginning--that masks do provide at least some protection--in order to keep the masks going to first responders is that your credibility comes into question later...more so if you don't own up to your lie.

Yeah, Fauci never said this.

You're being asked to wear a mask,

Um, not sure where the libbie lives, but he left out a bunch of info.
People have been asked ordered to cease having a normal life anymore.

Kids are being asked ordered to not go to football games or attend their prom. College kids are being asked ordered to not hang out with their friends at nightclubs. Young couples are being asked ordered to not have their friends & family present at their wedding. Families have been asked ordered to not hold big funerals for their friends & relatives to say goodbye. And the list goes on...

So yes, libbies, it's a hell of a lot more than just wearing a mask. 🙄

Dodo Cuomo just signed another well thought out executive order. (NOT!!!). I’m at a luxury spa in Skaneateles NY (Mirbeau). Yesterday we sat outside by the hot tub/ fireplace combo drinking a variety of concoctions. You wear a mask until you are seated, then sit with your group socially distant from non group members. We went back today, and were told we can’t order drinks unless we order food as well. I would say the cheapest poolside food on the menu was $15. But lo and behold, they added ‘popcorn’ for $1. So with our round of drinks we needed to order the popcorn. Just one order for the four of us. So I’m wondering how in ANY WAY his order helps stem the spread of coronavirus? Of course it doesn’t. The idiocy in many of these executive orders is just stunning. Who advised him this was a sound tactic?

When Fauci said no masks, he said it in order to prevent a run on masks (which happened anyway) and to preserve them for those who needed them the most.
When he said it, he was speaking for our lying administration.
Since then, masks have been shown to be effective, no matter what the lying administration said at the time.
And guess what? Trump is now encouraging people to wear masks.
