Tuesday Top of Mind 5/21/24- anti public mask law proposed in NC

Um.

Are they trying to kill people?

Or is this a desperate cry to their base and the millions of people who HATED to wear a mask in the worst public health emergency in 100 years?

Masks save lives.

Full stop. End of story. Masking to save lives was true in the Middle Ages and the Black Death. It was true in 1918 during the Spanish Flu Epidemic and it is true today.

But, but what about the masked fiends who are protesting? Or who are breaking laws? What about them?

Increasing penalties for committing a crime while wearing a mask I can kind of understand.

But protesting is not breaking the law.

And neither is going out masked because someone is medically vulnerable.

This bill would make it illegal to wear a mask out if the wearer were medically fragile.

Consigning them to house arrest.

That is not a good look for the NC legislature but they don’t care. Doctors and other health professionals (hello, I’m right here) have spoken out against this proposed legislation.

Make no mistake, this is mostly about the protesters who wear masks.

And control. It is ALWAYS about control.

But what about the white supremacists who are trying to hide their identity.

What about them?
