Infections are most likely rising in at least 39 states, driven in part by a trio of new variants.

    I support y’all wearing masks, but fuck a mask when it’s above 90°F and I’m doing manual labor. I need to drink about 32oz an hour and at that rate I’m yanking the mask down constantly, and meanwhile the humid air from my breath is making me sweat through the mask. It was a nightmare. I’d rather just fucking die.

      100%. You are not the problem, the problem is the government and its corporate controllers who decided to just let it run rampant.

        They’re pretty great in cold weather, though. No chapped lips!

      Are you talking outside? Even at the height of the pandemic there was no reason to wear a mask unless you where going to a rock concert or such. I usually only had one on outside when going into or coming from indoors like a store or such.
