To Mask or Not to Mask ?

I recently traveled out of my home state through New  York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

At every gas station, donut shop, hotel and pizza place there was 100% mask wearing compliance.  That includes highway rest stops as well.

I take heart.

Returning home I find only a 70% ( unofficial, of course) mask wearing rate on the main street of downtown.  And I lose heart.

I muster up the nastiest look I can muster behind my mask at the non -maskers, my mother used to call it – Stink Eye, and I make sure to swerve a good and deliberate 10 feet out of the way of the clods who refuse to wear masks.

The question posed in the title is not all that difficult to answer.

And as far as those ” embers” of the virus, those embers are people with lives and families.

 

 

 

Re-Writing History

Through a Freedom of Mis-information Act request and wiretapps I have stumbled upon some amazing news.  Here is the transcript of an actual phone call from 1945:

Ring, Ring

Ja who is dis?

Adolf, It’s Franklin Roosevelt.

Listen, all of my army and navy and air force is sick with the 1917 pandemic flu and I know your forces are sick too.  Why don’t we just call off WW2?

Gut idea, I’ll call Tojo, you call Winston and Stalin.

And that friends is how the second World War ended with the 1917 flu epidemic in 1945.

Really, he pretty much said that.
