Anyone care to share their most absurd covid situation/moment you’ve been through? Mine was having to attend a deposition with masks on all the lawyers and court reporter and the despondent having to repeat themselves multiple times and being interrupted by the court reporter because they couldn’t understand them. Very smart on their part wanting to do in person instead of zoom, it really broke up the defense counsels questions and stopped them from getting any momentum.
On a couple of occasions since it became required to wear masks here, I've forgotten to grab a mask on my way out the door. Both times, I simply used an old hand towel I keep in my car and used that as a temporary face covering with the help of a baseball cap and two large paper clips to keep it held in place. My auto shop accepted that as a valid face covering as the current state FAQ for face coverings states "any cloth that fully covers the nose and mouth" is acceptable, but that's not the story I'll be sharing here.
The second time I forgot my mask, I used the same makeshift arrangement for a recent doctor's appointment. Despite my satisfying the state's requirements, the front desk clerk took one look at me upon my checking in and said, "You can't wear that! Let me get you a mask." All I could do was shrug when the traditional mask she gave me ended up fitting me much looser than my own makeshift covering
. Now, I keep a spare mask in my car so I always have one available.
"We honestly don't give a shit. We can ask you to leave, but we won't."
Sanity may yet prevail.
I do something similar at the office. Because I wear my mask any time someone comes to the office, I'm willing to let established/regular clients in without a mask so long as they confirm they have none of COVID's signs and symptoms. Unfamiliar individuals, however, are out of luck if they come without a mask and won't agree to reasonable alternative accommodations. Luckily COVID has led most people to call the office first if they want an in-person meeting; the only people that have shown up unsolicited since June have been door-to-door salespeople.
I just love the way Freedom of Religion got trampled on throughout this farce (and I suppose Freedom of Assembly too, if you're not part of BLM or ANTIFA)
California isn't exactly known for its love of the constitution or individual rights. This is a state that recently downgraded the intentional spreading of AIDS from a felony to a misdemeanor and is currently contemplating a law that would potentially make it easier for an older male to prey on underage girls. Liberals aren't too keen on conservative religious beliefs, either, so none of this is surprising even if it's wrong.
Hand in hand with what you said, it's always
to see Democrats bouncing and squeaking about Republican anti-shutdown protestors not always wearing mask when they themselves conveniently ignore the ongoing BLM
riots protests where a fair number of people neither wear masks nor social distance.
Although, I have to wonder if Pelosi "followed science" when she went to that salon. Rules for us, but not for her.
Pelosi seems to be one of many politicians with the mindset that it's totally acceptable to do anything they want in public because they make laws for a living and that (erroneously) means they can do anything they want without impunity.
This year has at least been beneficial in identifying which of my friends and family are easily manipulated by the media and libs. And it has really opened my eyes to just how truly evil the media and libs are.
Tell me about it. I've pretty much given up saying anything offline about politics or current events unless I have to because I'm surrounded by enough people who have the combination of:
- An extremely salty version of TDS,
- Endless stanning for our Democratic governor's passive-aggressive COVID-19 executive orders and enforcement mechanisms, and
- The belief that Kyle Rittenhouse is a White Supremacist who shot three people out of hate.
It's sad and word-defying to see people who once knew how to think critically in the past suddenly decide that anything the media says now is infallible gospel truth.
