C'mon Grant; I get it: Numbers are going down, but they are plateauing on the high side and now there are domestic variants in NYC. We shouldn't be sending the message that keeping a mask on = "crazy". Spring fever is going to see plenty of non-compliance. We need to stay focused on defeating this virus.
ReplyDeleteLove the new colors, though. Enjoy seeing these each week!
Haha this is actually so true I love it. Wearing a mask alone in the woods is crazy.
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one that enjoys the warmth of the mask! Although I don't care what others think, so I'd keep it on :) If I'm cold, I'm cold!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what font that is? I love it
ReplyDeletedaisy wheel came up on font identifier website.
DeleteActually it’s the anti-maskers who are crazy. I have been running into so many of them lately. They claim that there is no pandemic, but cannot explain why every country on earth says that there is.
ReplyDeleteThey say that science cannot prove there is a Coronavirus, but cannot explain why almost every reputable scientist and epidemiologist says there that there is.
They claim it is the big corporations who are behind this, but cannot explain why big companies would be behind a conspiracy which is costing them so much money.
They claim that vaccines don't work, but also say they they themselves are immune from the same virus they claim does not exist.
The anti-masker conspiracy theorists all express anger about mask wearing and the pandemic in general. Anger is a response to fear. I now believe that they are actually very afraid of the virus, and have constructed a set of beliefs in order to wall themselves off from that fear.
In the City, mask wearing is almost universal, and we are well past the point where most people feel like wearing a mask is crazy, but I imagine that in Upstate New York, which is the place that this sketch is portraying, things might be different up there as they always are.
Thanks dear neighbor!
