Madness

I know this playdoh fascist is doing his best to get applause for the funny jokes he overheard on Fox, but this general issue is just pathetic.

I’m in DC today and just saw a group of girls on the Potomac rowing—outside in the sunshine—all of them with masks on. Just totally insane.

And it wasn't just Trumpkins. All the glibertarian nerds like Nate Silver have been Getting Very Mad about people wearing masks, and it all probably helped lead to the CDC decision.

Outdoor masking was probably never had more than an marginal overall benefit, though of course individuals have their own idiosyncratic risk concerns, but, also, who gives a shit? Most younger people aren't vaccinated yet, and what's the harm.
