Something to be said for Masks

Something to be said for masks. I'm departing from my usual 'let your mouth be maskless and free'. Let it enjoy the liberty of fresh air. Let in the liberty of unadultered oxygen. Allow the escaping carbon dioxide out unhindered. The trees and other photosynthetic organisms that are dependant on carbon dioxide will be grateful. But alas, I am coming around to the Faucian faith. Perhaps I am not as Covid-orthodox as I could be but I at least see a couple of advantages of the masked society. One is purely a selfish reason but it alleviates great anxiety. This newfound happiness is that I will not now have to worry about my coffee stained teeth and spend all kinds of limited income on teeth whitening products. This is a wonderful freedom! Secondly the savings on shaving soap is quite a nice addition to my purchasing power! The beard can grow to be a jungle without any fear of a renegade barber chasing me down with a set of clear-cutting clippers. Another reason is that our smiles or frowns will be liberated to exist without revelation. What a newfound freedom of the mouth to behave without any judgment from others! I am also quite relieved to hear that should even the entire world be vaccinated there will be no loss of mask required zones. I happily suspect that the Facian faith will so thoroughly convert us that we will be rather delighted with our distancing. Perhaps our newly evangelized souls will be covered also that even our souls may not contaminate. Yes, I must say that for all these reasons I have come around to the settled medicine's logic. Of course as I write this I have a number of bandanas over my face. I do so just so as not to expose any on the internet to be in danger. After all we all know that computers are human enough to also be communicable with viruses.

The Covid Crisis and Open Boarders

Sometimes I wonder how serious can we be about masks and "social" distancing and the whole Covid crisis if we not only have, but even encourage, caravans of possible Covid carriers to come across our cheesecloth borders freely. The idea of wanting to prohibit actual citizens from coming from the open state of Florida into the lock down states and yet throwing the gates open on the southern boarder to non-citizens seems to me a bit odd and plants the suspicion that our overseers pushing this pandemic really don't believe in it as they wish us to believe. I can't help but wonder how a travel ban from Florida and a travel pass from Central America and the Islamic terrorist hot spots is consistant? Am I just hopelessly not correctly formed by my neighbors' compassionate heart emo lawn signs? Too much influenced by science deniers? Not adequately tuning into settled science informants? And lastly not taking the most virtuous example of Dr. Jill Biden's use of Unity Hearts decorating the White House Lawn? These must be the reasons I am so flumoxed about the new found Faucian faith.
