I'd Like To Tell The Health Experts Where They Can Shove Their Second Mask

by Kylee Zempel - February 12, 2021

 

[...]  Continuing the trend of Babylon Bee headlines being prophetic, Twitter on Monday decided to promote a Quartz article about "Why it's time to start double masking."  Just like clockwork, the CDC on Wednesday decided to add double masking to its COVID-19 guidance.  [...]

That's nice for her, but I hope she's wearing at least one and properly. What are her medical qualifications exactly? 

 

Also Pete Buttigieg has a husband, not a "partner."

Weren’t masks proposed to keep asymptomatic people from spreading the virus (something I actually agree with and was on board even when the medical experts were saying not to wear masks).  If one really wants to protect themselves from the virus, they need to start hoarding N95s.

In proper English seems that Partner can be correct usage, many married people refer to their Spouse as their Partner.

Let me test that out...

 

"Hey Partner, can you bring the appetizers and red wine over? I am peckish!"...........

Have any of these people cut concrete or asphalt with a power saw? Run a leaf blower in a dusty parking lot in the middle of August when it hasn’t rained for a month? Worked in demolition? Ripped out plastered walls and sheetrock? Let’s try it without a mask and see how it goes. Too dusty, no mask at hand? Let’s pull up our T-shirt over our mouths and noses and try again. A little better, but not much. Now let’s try one of the blue surgical style masks. A little better? But still not enough. Now let’s put on an N95. Man, I am engulfed in a dust cloud. But I can breath and I’m not coughing and choking on the dust. If I put on safety goggles, I can even see. 

 

So so a mask does offer protection, at least against dust. So I tend to think that it will offer some level of protection against sneezes and coughs that may be carrying a virus.

It was becoming quite common in the UK 20 years ago, not sure why, seems now to be part of the official landscape. I see it in the media over there much more frequently.

Maybe it was my inflection.
