As of two days ago, Boris Johnson’s government announced it will henceforth be illegal to use public transportation in the UK, without wearing a mask.
But do masks actually do anything to prevent the spread of this disease? Or respiratory diseases in general?
Totally In Control by Nancy OhanianIf you sometimes get tempted to wish the anti-social distancing protestors all die, remember, when they get infected they spread the disease outside their own crazy circles-- to family members, neighbors, grocery store clerks, the guy they buy their ammunition from...
By NoahHey Republicans! Now you can own the mask that every fine Republican dreams of wearing! Act now and we'll add in a matching robe for a complete ensemble of KKK PPE!Yes, the KKK duds that White House and Republican Congressional staffers don behind closed doors at work are Trump brand duds! And, imagine the rapture you will feel knowing that your order means more money goes to Dear Leader's 2020 campaign!
Die For Me by Nancy OhanianOn Sunday, Washington Post media critic noted that the Trump regime and it's congressional enablers are making a concerted effort to "normalize" deaths from the pandemic.
Face To Face by Nancy OhanianPlease think of this post as a continuation the 5AM piece on anomie. I had a few questions about what anomie is.
There were dramatic scenes at an airport in Shanghai, China, as U.S. agents hijacked a plane full of lifesaving equipment, including 60 million masks, bound for coronavirus-stricken France. While the plane was on the tarmac, American agents managed to bribe locals into diverting the plane to the United States, plying them with cash.
When the novel coronavirus first made its appearance in Wuhan, China, it was newsworthy, but it seemed difficult to trust the information coming out of China, due to its communist governmental structure. To some extent, this suspicion appears to have been justified, as one of the main doctors who warned his own government about the danger of this virus just died from it. Now the virus appears to be making rapid advances in free nations, most notably Italy, South Korea and Japan, and in Iran, sadly taking the life of one of Ayatollah Khameini’s top advisers on Monday morning, March 2nd.
