I hope Governor DeSantis doesn't sanction United with an executive order.

But yeah, pilots are smarter than the CDC.
But what about Dr Fauci....https://youtu.be/PRa6t_e7dgI

This is what happens when our own govt / press lie to the public so often that they can't keep the story straight. Politics and narratives take over to the point of absurdity.

How do you make a 2 year old wear a mask when she has the attention span of about 30 seconds?
Only reasonable solution is to wrap her in shrink-wrap from head to toe. (For the sake of those with weak sarcasm detection skill......I kid, I kid).

Of course these restrictions vary from state to state. I’m glad I live in a state that has some common sense.
im so sick of this and sheeple going rite along with it wearing masks in the car by themselves, and riding a bike, or walking outside alone...it’s just ridiculous!
I see it all the time, people alone in cars with the mask over their mouth, but below their nose so they can breath freely of course. I always think, what could they possibly be rationalizing that is accomplishing in any way?

Everyone else has their mask on. I guess you’re not going on the trip. You and your family are not that special.

This mask nonsense has gone way out of control

I’m all over being safe, but common sense seems to have gone bye bye in this media driven hysteria.
Can’t wait for 2021!

They’re not sheeple, they’re following the rules set to help with the pandemic. They’re not whining and complaining like you. Also have you thought about the fact that for those wearing masks in cars they probably have no better place to place the mask than on their face? Or maybe they live 5 min away from the store and don’t care to take it off.

If we didn’t question the rules, we’d still be wearing O2 ever **** break. It’s essential to follow the rules, but it’s healthy to have independent thought and debate with the hopes of smarter rule making.

I want to know what Singapore Airlines (consistently the top international carrier) used to decide when they made their mask policy of children over 6yrs old for masks. It seems more reasonable to me but what do I know.

BS. None of this is founded in any level of fact or science. Anyone with even a mild level of critical thinking skills can see through this crap. If any of these protocols worked why aren't they working? And don't tell me it's from a lack of participation, one need to look no further than crawling out of their cave and looking around to see that people are doing what they're told.

I feel bad for this family, and I'm f'ing embarrassed by how it was handled. UAL owes them an apology. Anyone that is so petrified to participate in civilization that they think everyone needs to be in in a head to toe prophylactic can stay home.

First..... “Why aren’t they working”? Because people are not wearing masks and getting together. That’s why.


Second. Chances are 100% of those people in that plane have no Covid. There’s a very high chance that what they’re doing is completely pointless. Yet everyone is wearing masks because it’s the rule set by the airline. Do you think anyone there likes wearing the mask? Why do we get pulled over for going 100mph in a deserted highway when you weren’t harming anyone? It’s called rules/laws set by society to help protect the general population from each other and probably from ourselves. But I think you know that, your problem is with denying reality of masks.

or maybe they’re sheeple! I stand by what I said...
Yes following the rules...that’s the point but was probably over your head?
What about on a bike or by yourself outside? iIs COVID like a chlorine gas cloud that suddenly descends on its victims?
As u libs like to say...”show me the science”
