Taking stupid to a new level

Some weeks ago, someone posted a photo of a sign at a pool in, I think, New Zealand, warning people not to wear a face mask while swimming due to the increased risk of drowning. And I thought, What kind of moron would even think of wearing a face mask while swimming?


If you'd just wear masks, we wouldn't have to pixelate you!

They could have to cough up as much as 500 US dollars a head. If that seems completely insane, you have to keep in mind the gravity of the situation.


I added that blue line at the top. It represents the average number of pneumonia deaths per day in 2019.

People who state that mass masking is 'useless' are, of course, wrong; because nothing is neutral.

Masking is harmful, in many ways - including to health. Just as pecking is harmful, including to health; and social distancing harmful - including to health.

That's the world we live in.
