DOJ warns against fraudulent face mask exemption cards

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is warning against fraudulent cards or flyers that are being used to claim immunity from face mask mandates. Images of the cards have circulated online and show…

The card's list of penalities for refusing maskless customers is quite severe.

"Wearing a face mask posses[sic] a mental and/or physical risk to me"

If you think waving an obviously fake card like this is an appropriate reaction to being asked to wear a mask, then it's too late. The lead has already damaged your Boomer brain.

Twat acts like a twat, gets infected, but refuses to help trace people who he infected.

The co-founder of a movement to reopen Maryland at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic has tested positive for the virus after refusing to wear a face mask.

Walters suggested that those he has recently come into contact with should monitor their symptoms. However, he is refusing to cooperate with Maryland contact tracers by providing any personal information that could help them contain the virus.

"I will not share anybody's information with the government. I will not do it," Walters reportedly said.

Founder of ReOpen Movement Who Refused Masks Tests Positive for Coronavirus

Tim Walters, who led a movement to reopen Maryland as the COVID-19 pandemic expanded in April, says he tested positive for the virus but blames "Satan," despite refusing to wear a face mask and abide by public health restrictions.

Now there's a cunt I'd be happy to see wheezing to death. The world would be better off without selfish pieces of fucking shit like him.

He's a business cunt not a scientist

in articles i’ve read they rave about how closely involved he is in the engineering decisions at both space x and tesla

 

[quimcunx]

He's got some sort of degree in physics I think. Hes not completely ignorant in science.

 

[kropotkin]

He has an undergraduate physics degree.

It appears he’s already living on a different planet.

Equivalent to having a white belt in martial arts?

South Dakotans are mostly pretty socially distanced anyway. 11 people per square mile (UK has 430, London 1500).

South Dakotans are mostly pretty socially distanced anyway. 11 people per square mile (UK has 430, London 1500).

But not when 7,500 of them turn up for a celebration.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

What I find really bizarre is the absolute meltdowns over wearing a mask:










If you don't want to wear a mask in a business that requires it, shop somewhere else.

 

[Teaboy]

Looking at afar it does seem that the whole thing is being polarized into masks. They seem to have taken a far larger importance than they have in some other countries.

 

[elbows]

Well its not surprising given that Trump and others politicised the mask stuff as soon as it became something the government felt the need to recommend.

 

[maomao]

Apparently cospiraloons are pushing the idea that masks can kill you with carbon dioxide poisoning. Absolutely everything becomes polarised so quickly. I didn't actually expect the last lot of protests to calm down to the level they have. 3 weeks ago it looked like war by July.

Really looking grim and getting grimmer in the US. Fauci talking about potentially getting to 100,000 cases a day.

Really looking grim and getting grimmer in the US. Fauci talking about potentially getting to 100,000 cases a day.

They must have been well above that in April to be clocking up two thousand deaths a day surely? Unless their case fatality rate is significantly worse than other countries.

 

[frogwoman]

Not necessarily if those people were already ill? It's got a fatality rate of 1% or so and many of those people will have been in hospital for ages already.

San Quentin: Covid-19 cases at California prison surge to 1,000

Apparently due to large scale transfers from other prisons where Covid was rife

 

[frogwoman]

California recorded more than 8,000 coronavirus infections on Monday, smashing the state’s daily record for the third time in eight days. Yesterday saw the state record more than 6,000 cases attributed to the virus.

And California is bracing for more bad news. Across the Golden State, cases have steadily risen alongside admissions to hospitals and ICUs.

But the trends are applying uneven pressure to the state’s regions. As of Saturday in Southern California’s Riverside County, 99% of ICU beds were in use, leaving just 5 available for new admissions.

Imperial County, which borders Mexico, has in recent weeks sent 500 patients to neighboring regions because hospital capacity had been maxed, California governor Gavin Newsom said Monday.
