Some news articles question why the pandemic didn’t take off in some Asian societies — forgetting that mask wearing for self protection has long been customary in many cultures. I’ve been to Hong Kong, the Philippines, So Korea, Japan, and China (a lot of that courtesy of my Uncle Sam) and saw masks everywhere just as common courtesy and self protection. Gee, remember the concept of common courtesy? Self protection? Protecting others?

Oh yeah, that’s a new issue… but no one said you need to stop wearing masks! I might even wear mine during flu seasons.

Wear your mask, sun glasses and your MAGA hat into a bank, 3 months from now, and enjoy the reaction.

I’ll keep wearing my mask until the pollen season is over.

People tell me that I look good in a mask, and should have started wearing one years ago.

Unfortunately, masks did not help me against pollen… although I am probably more susceptible to it than most people…

Who does the ‘pollen count’ ? Is it the same people doing the recounting of ballots in States that Trump lost?
