It is located along the East Bay and just across the water from San Francisco. A 12 minute ride under the water by BART.
My bandana pulled from my face, I was one of the few in the area. The area is usually bustling on Sunday morning because of a farmers' market. That is closed, of course, because of the power freak California governor, Gavin Newsom, and the power freak Oakland mayor, Libby Schaaf.
While on my walk (the gyms are also closed thanks to the power freaks), I came across these two who have surely bought into the COVID-19 hysteria.
With heavy-duty masks across their mouths and noses, they stood more than 15 feet apart and were carrying on a full conversation.
I just thought of it now, but I should have said to them, "Hey, if the two of you are going to have a conversation do it from your rooms by phone. There is a deadly disease out here. No congregating."
It might have created a decent hate of the state moment.

I need more content like this. The water wars at your gym are the best.
ReplyDeleteIf we want to change other people's thinking we first have to understand the world as it exists in their minds and convince them that we have done so.
ReplyDeleteI've been saying for many years that "no one over the age of 30 changes their mind on any significant issue". Recent research has shown it to be largely true. Present people with facts at odds with their belief and they just find a way to reject your facts and hold to their belief. That's why the left went for control of the universities. And it worked.
DeleteWe see people wearing masks riding bicycles... picture of boaters motoring along wearing masks...we read a story of a motorist who hit a tree and died after passing out from wearing an N95 mask for several hours while driving...(facepalm).
ReplyDeleteA column in the Wall Street Journal pointed out that having virtual no efficacy at preventing anything, wearing a mask is merely virtue signaling, as well as showing support and solidarity with the government-imposed measures. While that may be true for some, it looks to me like most people wearing masks believe they are effective at reducing transmission of the virus. Another impossible to dislodge error.
Do you have a link to that WSJ article? Thanks
DeleteBut don't forget to spray the phone.
ReplyDeleteI tell youngsters that if you ever want to understand how ordinary decent Germans supported Hitler look around you today.
ReplyDeleteTravelling across the USA, I went to a Wal-Mart in salt lake city utah today. 😲😟NO WHERE EVER have I seen so many mask-wearers than there, besides L.A. 😷😷😷😷😷😱😅 It was a trip. The rest of the country actually looks pretty normal; very rare to see a mask.
ReplyDeleteI live in North Ogden (about 40 miles north of Salt Lake). I refuse to wear a mask, but I've seen a lot of folks wearing them. It's nuts!
DeleteI've been wondering something with all of this mask wearing: Is there any potential for increased lung infections or other pulmonary issues when wearing a mask long-term? I have to think that breathing through a mask for hours on end every day can't be a good thing long-term.
ReplyDeleteSo when RW says 'very safe', he means it is not filled with all that 'duh-versity' he and other libertarians would like to import in mass. Yes RW, 'urban primitives' or 'duh-versity' sucks.
