Get it right

It amazes me how frequently I still see people wearing a mask with their nose hanging out. The masks are not fun and not perfect protection but they help slow the spread somewhat, and work with other preventive measures to provide layers of protection.

And we’ve been doing this a while.

I almost understand more the people who refuse masks altogether. These who leave their nose hanging out are not making a statement or resisting the rules. Just being a jackass.

Buncha Jackasses

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch refused to wear a mask in court to protect another Justice he sits next to. Unvaccinated tennis star Novak Djokovic thinks the rules shouldn’t apply to him, and when he says he tested positive for COVID he was out about in town, in violation of local laws on quarantine. Unvaccinated Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers thinks he knows better than epidemiologists and medical professionals about when he has to wear a mask or not, so misled folks about being “immunized” and wouldn’t wear a mask at press conferences, in violation of rules established by his union.

Buncha jackasses.

And these are just a few examples of the toxic individualism and disregard for their role in protecting others in society that helps drag out this pandemic.

Jackasses.
