MASKS: Ignore, and prep for shutdown

Most Americans under the age of 50 are the most undisciplined, whiny crybabies in the world. I bet most of these people who refuse to wear masks will be the first ones to protest and complain if or when there is another shutdown.

The virus is like a sports injury. The only way to heal it is to shut down until it’s fully healed. If you use it too soon, like opening the country too soon, it will re-injure itself and probably be worse.

If you think the shutdown was bad (at least most of you had your own home to stay in), try living in a combat zone, especially when Trump’s buddy Putin is putting bounties on U.S. military personnel.

As for the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee and Casey Whalen, if wearing a mask to prevent a deadly virus from spreading is an infringement on Americans’ rights and no one can dictate to you or me what we can do to our bodies, then the same should be said about abortions. Typical right-wing hypocrites.

Another thing. How did the Catholic Church qualify for $1.5 billion in bail out money? I thought that money was for small businesses. Oh, that’s right; it’s Trump’s way of buying evangelistic votes.
