UNCLE BOBBY, CORONA MYOPIA – TO MASK OR NOT TO MASK? (published 5-14-2020)

Uncle Bobby

My mother’s younger brother, uncle Robert Allen Wood, was born on 5/14/1939. He went Home on 1/18/1941. I have written about him elsewhere on my website.

Uncle Bobby, wait on me a while longer! I’ll get there! Tell Granny and Papaw Wood, Mom, Dad, and so many others that I’ll see y’all one of these days! I love you, and I miss having never met you yet.

Corona Myopia – to Mask or Not to Mask?

My good friend, J.C., sent another “good job as always” e-mail today. It inspired me to write.

Police assaulted a mother with her child, near the subway, for "not fully wearing her mask." (Source: Dean Meminger, Twitter, 5/13/2020). It’s insanity, of course. This is only one example. Here is a more credible source, on the same event: “Mom Arrested After Confrontation With NYPD Officers Over Face Mask,” on NBC New York, 5/14/2020.

By the way, there is a historical comment by Dr. Fauci, regarding no need to wear a mask. (Source: “March 2020: Dr. Anthony Fauci talks with Dr Jon LaPook about Covid-19,” on 60 Minutes (YouTube), 3/8/2020. This episode has not “been removed for violating YouTube's Community Guidelines,” as of the publication of this article.) I wonder if Dr. Fauci has ever apologized for his “fatal error.” I do not see him wearing a mask, when he’s on the various TV channels, ad nauseam, on a daily basis.

Search online, by “General Michael Flynn unmasked,” if you want to have a little fun. (It's about a different kind of “mask.”) One source, of several, is: “Intel chief releases info on ‘unmasking’ of Flynn to Capitol Hill,” on Politico, by Andrew Desiderio and Betsy Woodruff Swan, 5/13/2020. The political powers are fiddling while the USA economy burns, apparently.

My question: to mask or not to mask? General Michael Flynn is unmasked (a political mask). Dr. Fauci said don’t wear a literal mask. Now, he says to wear a literal mask. I’m confused.

To all you folks out there, in social media land, who are posting about wearing masks, as a means of negative peer pressure, I say, be consistent! When the influenza annual cycle comes again, in 2020, 2021, 2022, ad nauseam, you must continue to wear a mask, even after this new cold virus (COVID-19) is old news. Otherwise, back off!

Knox County, Tennessee, deaths, by COVID-19, have been and still are five. That number has stayed the same for several weeks. I regret the loss of those lives, and my sympathy extends to the families. The point, however, is that this new cold virus is being used, as a socialist propaganda tool, to manipulate us.

Conclusion

I miss my Uncle Bobby. I will meet him for the first time, one of these days. In the mean time, this short-term insanity should go away, eventually.
