Title: masking up ,will it be for ever, ?
Post by: alfred on December 30, 2021, 03:58:34 PM
For many of us who over the years, when in the early years and over time came,.

Measles, mumps, whooping cough,  and T.B, asthma, then in recent years  times
came the corona virus, and recently covid,

so i wonder just how many more viruses will emerge in the coming years, and if so will masking up become an every day event before we go shopping, visiting friends , or socializing in general,

Q; do you think there will ever be an end, or is that life will be an endless routine of carrying a face masks and hand gels  forever,

 I don't wear any lipstick, haven't for years. I'm a big fan of natural.

It's got to the stage that seeing films set just a year or so back with unmasked actors seems unreal and makes me long for those days to return

Sometimes a great love starts from a chance meeting.
If mask wearing continues some may miss the love
of their lives as mask wearing hides much of facial expressions
and features one may fall for.

Facial expressions maybe, but it's all in the eyes FB,  all in the eyes  :cool:

You possibly have a more charitable outlook than some men deserve....

A little smile can be missed too with masks.
Very sad that.

It appears to have emerged as a sort of identity statement to many, an icon of identification and reflective of your views? The further left you are, the greater the inclination to restrict freedom becomes apparent. A mask says so to your fellows and makes a statement to the other side.

Perhaps just another indicator as how polarised as communities in 'The West' we are becoming. Brexit was the first time the 'Davos Men' had to reveal themselves in solid form thanks to Cameron's idealistic hotspur. Now, are we are splitting further into followers and the querulous non-followers?

Just like Brexit vast sums of money have been invested into 'Project Fear' by an increasingly authoritarian administration, whether it be Covid or burning peat to please Mrs Johnson's green fingers.

I'm not sure whether the fragrant Ms. Johnson would approve of burning peat or not. Some of it is sequestered carbon from a long long time ago so may be not much better than burning the dreaded coal. Plus think of the particulates  :yell:

The one thing she does approve of  burning, it seems, is party donor money on wallpaper and there is every chance that she'll only get a year out of it before somebody else decides they don't like it and has it changed.

Think of the planet.
