The mandatory face mask law starts in Massachusetts on Wednesday. Just a reminder that there’s a really, really easy way to not follow this completely unnecessary law:
Just say you have asthma and no one can question you.
Boom. Problem solved.
That’s how stupid and poorly thought out this was:
- If masks were so critical they’d be required immediately
- If masks protect you from getting the disease then other people not wearing them should have no effect on you whatsoever
- If masks saved lives then they wouldn’t let you put on bandanas or t-shirts in lieu of a mask, because obviously that does jack shit
- Masks get dirty and collect germs. Wearing them is pointless and doesn’t protect you from shit
Every time the government tells you the end is near they just increase the restrictions without providing any justification for doing so. The people who will be put to the test here are the cops. Did they sign up to be mask meter maids? Or will they use discretion? The people are watching, and the public trust will be permanently damaged if they turn into the mask police. Just sayin.

Is this comment section a good example of why Massachusetts is failing so hard at containing the virus?
No really, just curious. Get your shit together like every other state near you. What’s the problem there, huh? All of us in the states up north are doing great. What the fuck is going so wrong down there? Is it Baker? Is it Hoodboogers? Is it everyone? We’re preventing this shit from spreading, no matter how we feel about masks, how ghetto folk act, etc.
Do us all a favor and get it under control, and stop fleeing up here. We hate seeing you up here, since we know you’re running away, but most likely bringing your commie germs with you. We got that shit handled, yet you know your state doesn’t, so you run up here with your Kung Flu. Just know we all hate that you’re doing that, and normally want you to stay down there anyway. Leave us the fuck alone.
Be a Masshole at home in Mass. What, are you scared? Too bad.
You idiots think it has to be a 100% stoppage of the spread or nothing. N95’s only stop 95% of particles but a cloth mask when worn properly can effectively stop droplets from coughs and sneezes. BTW this is your coughs and sneezes because the primary goal is to have everyone protected by doing our best to stop ourselves from infecting others.
Yes, the virus can get through the mask…. but the virus is attaches to water particles in your cough. It doesn’t just fly off solo. It needs the water particles from your lungs to travel.
No mask can stop 100% of these droplets. But not wearing a mask will spread 100% of these droplets.
Also, can everyone please take some time to learn how to safely wear a mask. Please watch some videos or something so you can stay safe and keep others safe.
Is the State going to provide masks for all, or just the minorities that don’t wear them? I can’t buy a mask around here, the shelves are empty, so i assume that i must make one. still, it’s my choice or the stores’ policy that determines if i wear one. i can’t get too rabid about this red herring…
I have no problem putting one on if a business has a sign requiring one on the door, unless I can just cross the street and be fine. It’s their business, so their rules. I ain’t driving another 20 minutes when I can just throw on the same old mask I’ve been wearing for 4 years.
What makes me crazy is seeing people, alone in the car, wearing one. WTF? The gov’t and media have these morons so afraid. These people vote!
I was in Home Depot yesterday and there was an employee working the self checkouts who had not one, not two, but three masks on! She had a surgical mask, then an N95, and then another surgical mask. I almost fell over laughing. I explained to her that the N95 mask would do the job alone, but she responded “I’m not taking any chances.” Of course I didn’t hear her the first time. As others have pointed out, the N95 mask is the only one that you can trust to keep you from getting the the Xi Jingping virus thing. Otherwise you’re wasting your time. Sorry Charlie the Democrat masquerading as a Republican and Maahty.
The only group not inconvenienced by this mask thing is the KKK. LOL
Well of course the police are going to come down on people not wearing a mask. It’s a perfect opportunity to puff up their chests, flex their muscles (if they have any) and start pushing people around to show them who’s really in charge.
We get to see if the cops went full Jewish communism. I hope the cops follow the law and not Bakers Jewish order.
Fake Masks don’t stop the virus coming in and don’t stop it from going out.
Corona Virus passes through and around your safety-blanket masks to infect you and others. Stopping 20% or 99% of your spit doesn’t stop the virus from passing through and infecting others. You’re not protecting yourself or anyone else. It’s a PSYOP to make people feel more in control and calmer as they go about life and getting infected or not.
There isn’t a vaccine or effective therapy and won’t be for a long time maybe never. Did they ever come up with a vaccine for AIDS?
How are you sterilizing your paper or home made mask? Are you decontaminating all your clothing shoes, hands, hair, hand bag in a contained decontamination room after being in public? Nope. The mask laws are all a fantasy so society doesn’t shut down all together. Wearing crystals and beads around your neck will offer the same protection, none.
Maybe all true but let’s not lock down the economy any longer- we will reach a point of no return soon.
If it can’t stop tear gas it can’t stop a virus.
N95 medical respirator or better is required to stop a virus.
Dust masks, surgical masks, t-shirt masks don’t stop viruses.
Fully sealed N95 or better medical respiratory masks are required to stop a virus.
How can I blow my dog with a mask on?
When Banks open will I be able to wear a mask and gloves to withdraw money?
Lmfao look at Greg the peacock showing his peacock feathers. they seem a little ruffled Greg. Wanna talk about it?
It’s like seatbelt laws. We shouldn’t need a law to compel people to spend two seconds fastening something that will kept them from sailing head first through the windshield, but some people are stupid. I don’t wear a mask because I don’t want to pay a $300 fine, i wear one because I trust the experts and I’m responsible. Grow the fuck up, folks.
Why don’t you give your balls a tug, you tit fucker.
Is this an insult?? Nothing better than titty fuckin esp if she’s tuggin on the ballsack too! Great, great stuff!
Go suck cock faggot puke.
You are the ssm asshole that wears a mask around your neck and the moves the germs over his mouth when putting mask on to go get your gay porn
Coronavirus is spread through the droplets we spray when we talk, cough, laugh, etc. If you don’t think masks catch spit and reduce the spread, you are willfully ignorant.
All you “I’m not wearing a mask because, FREEDOM” morons are the reason why we can’t open society sooner. If people would take simple precautions, we’d be much further ahead, but simpletons like you will be what keeps us on lockdown.
Hey dummy,then why is half the country opening up? You fucking sheep will do whatever you’re told because Charlie Parker said so? Parker just issued a poke your eyes out with bbq skewers order. How are you typing right now?
While it’s true that wearing a mask, even a cloth one over your face will prevent droplets from passing through if you breath, talk, cough or sneeze, it does *nothing* to stop the virus particles themselves from passing through the cloth because they’re smaller.
It’s akin to dumping a handful of dirt and pebbles into a colander. The pebbles (AKA droplets) are easily blocked from being passed through, but the dirt (virus particles) easily pass through.
The bottom line is that for a person who is infected, including persons who are asymptomatic, the wearing of some home-made cotton mask, bandana, towel, etc. does nothing to prevent the virus from passing through to the outside world.
The virus is INSIDE the droplets. It is not just floating freely without droplets. No droplet means no vehicle for the virus. The virus will be all over the mask, some of it outside the mask but still on the mask. The wearer of the mask reduces spread to others, but the mask does not protect the wearer. If you are wearing a cloth mask, and an infected person is not wearing one, that person can still infect you because their droplets containing the virus can travel and get on your mask. However an infected person wearing the mask reduces the spread because the droplets (which contain the viruses) stay on the fabric. They will not spread in the air from there, but if someone touches it they can pick it up. Basically it’s like coughing into your sleeve (hopefully with a better seal…). You do that to keep the germs to yourself. Now, despite all this, I don’t think it’s right to obligate people to wear it outdoors (especially since the virus doesn’t last long on surfaces in direct sunlight) or to force everything to shut down rather than allow for common sense precautions. The vulnerable should carry some level of responsibility to protect themselves, just as immunocompromised people always have.
Look at this CUCK, Greg, over here
Yes, the masks protects other people from you. I enjoy Turtleboy but the commenters are generally idiots.
make sure you call the Einsatzgruppen if you don’t see someone wearing a mask, you little nazi scum.
I will be recording anyone I see not following protocol. You will be reported and arrested and forced to pay a $300 fine to help fund our selfless government workers.
Masks (unless they create a seal) do little if anything to prevent the spread of Covid-19. It’s like using a condom with poked holes to prevent pregnancy.
I went by the beach this past weekend and couldn’t believe how many dumbass people I saw walking the beach with masks. One guy was wearing a face shield because he was doing an imaginary surgery in the air. How do these people reproduce. If your mask is not N95 certified then there’s no point of wearing one.
Wearing a mask protects OTHER people in case you are contagious (and quite possibly not showing symptoms) Using a real illness like asthma and pretending to have it makes you a douche bag,
Stop being selfish and wear the mask, put on your big kid panties, and wear the mask. To those that say oh I’ll go naked and wear a mask – go right ahead, the virus is carried through saliva so that’s a dumb point but have at it.
What’s is wrong with people you question.
What your question should have been is, what is wrong with me. You have not a clue or are the slightest bit intelligent in any way. I know you think youre smart but truth is, you’re not!
Your beliefs in masks protecting other people is blind and plain out right fucking ignorant! Stop spreading false statements!
The only mask that will protect you is a n95 respirator or a gas mask. Those mask’ are the only mask’ that will protect you and you only. That same mask will not protect the people around you. And here is why, some N95 masks have a one way breath valve. Meaning if you have the Chinese corona virus and expel air from your mask, while others are not wearing an n95 mask, you have just put them in jeopardy. There is no way around it. You also need what is called a fit test to properly be fitted a true and real n95 mask. True n95 masks are not made from a cloth or cotton membrane. They are made of silicone and plastic with elastic straps that go over the crown of your little head and around the back of your neck. (Which you should now rest in shame) it consist’s of filters made of plastic and or aluminum that have a special filtering membrane in the cartridges.
Surgical masks do not do a damn thing either will a dust mask, bandana or tshirt. They are not properly fitted and even if they are which is very unlikely because science. When you cough your crona flu in that surgical mask. Your funky breath and corona virus expels from the sides of the mask. effectively rendering the mask pointless! a bandana or tshirt has what I can only describe to you in idiot terms, because you will not understand the actual term. So here gos, the clothes that are suggested in liu of a mask have what are called pores. The virus is microscopic and the pores in the cloth are 200× bigger than the microscopic virus. Someone coughs in a bandana or tshirt then the virus escapes through those pores than gos through the pores of your pansy cloth mask. Which effectively makes any and all of them useless. If you are wearing any mask even a true n95 respirator and you can smell your boifriends queef, than it’s not going to do a damn against a virus. If you do not shave the pubes from your upper lip than you will not get a proper seal in any mask. I know shocking right?
What you need is called a respirator with n95 cartridges. Most of those respirators with n95 cartridges also have a one way valve. This will protect you and you only. If you have the kung flu than it will not protect anyone unless they too are wearing a respirator with n95 cartridges!
So here is my answer to your question of why are people so dumb. They are dumb for reasons in which only you can explain, because clearly you’re that dumb.
You walking around with anything but a properly fitted respirator and proper cartridges or a gas mask with proper cartridges is only giving you and the rest of the sheep a false sense of security! Now I think it’s time for you too go back and reevaluate your question because obviously with you it’s a rhetorical one!
AND BOOM, MIC DROP!
You sounded credible until you added the BOOM MIC DROP!
O cuckcake im more than credible.
I’m Right! MIC DROP!
Sounded, but not.
You’re more than welcome to prove I’m wrong but the fact is you cant. You know why? Its because I’m right and everything I have said is backed up by facts that you can not disprove because well, they’re facts. I know your little liberal brain can not compute but just because you cant under stand facts does not mean I’m wrong.
You’re wrong and I am Right. I’m always right 🙂
No, it’s pretty simple. Your error is classic “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” An n95 by definition is only certified to filter 95% of particles. So we’ve already conceded that our best option isn’t perfect, but is still useful. In the absence of wide availability of n95s, we may have more imperfect options, but if those options filter say 60% of particles it’s better than nothing. And if you multiply it by everybody, transmission of particulates among the herd is greatly reduced.
Facts are like kryptonite to the libtards. I took a walk into target yesterday and say a lady wearing a see through scarf around her face, countless masks around chins, and people wearing gloves cross contaminating every they touch. This has reached insanity beyond belief.
Your post was near perfection until you said you can’t get a seal with hair on your upperlip. I’ve been fit tested with a full beard and passed. The Canadian military allows beards because they now have mask that will cover a beard.
:: Picks mic back up::
You dropped this, best you be more careful next time.
You had me until you said “Canadian Military”.
They died at Normady too tough guy.
How is this going to be enforced in sanctuary cities like somerville?
Isn’t true that in those cities the police are prohibited from asking for ID for minor offenses?
This will only be enforced on the whites.
Drive through the “disadvantaged” parts of the cities when you’re able. They’re all playing soccer on the fields and basketball on the courts. Unless it’s raining.
Oh thank god.
I was so worried about you and your run.
I can go on with my life now.
I pray your kid doesn’t act up and interrupt your “work” day.
NY just released the latest death information, I believe they lead the nation in total deaths.
Less than 1% of the deaths are from people without pre-existing health problems.
So my assessment is if your heathy get on with your life. If your elderly or suffer from a pre-existing condition, stay inside, wear a mask, do whatever allows you to cope.
If your just a pussy, STFU, and stuff a gerbil up your ass.
It ok to use rat. 2020 Year of Rat, right Lee?
Is chlamydia an excuse to not wear a mask? Asking for a friend.
The clothes we wear carry tons of germs. So would the Karen’s be pissed if we all went out in the nude with a mask on? This should be fun finding out!!!
Everyone must submit ! Putting masks or face coverings on will prevent Global Warming too ! Dont you care about everyone ? Submit Fools !!!
Someone’s fucked.
That’s a shame. What am I to do now??? Time to manufacture a fake illness. Fibromyalgia or Lupus. Hmmm.
If a fart can stink through my tighty whities and jeans, a virus 100x smaller than the shit stink will pass through your makeshift mask. Only N95 or greater masks will stop this thing. Everything else is just a feel-good measure.
I would like to test my mask. Can I sniff your ass please?
Let me get this straight. Officer- Sir, I’m going to cite you for not wearing a mask. What is your name? Me- Fuck off. You don’t have any law that compels me to tell you my name. Yeah, good luck with that one.
Reading comprehension is a skill: TB didn’t say don’t tell the officer your name or that the officers aren’t allowed to ask your name! TB was saying if you do get harassed (unlikely, since cops have better things to do), just say you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing a mask and they’re not allowed to ask you what it is/you don’t have to prove it! In other news, “asthma” rates in MA are about to skyrocket…
Aside from Disorderly Conduct, or Trespassing, depending on the circumstances……
And not wearing a mask has the benefit of letting the world know you’re an idiot without having to say a word.
What a cunt!
Only liberal cucks would give up their freedom for an illness that over 99% people recover from and if you are under 75 and not a fat fuck, you have a 99.99% chance of recovering. That must make you a fat unhealthy fuck. The world would probably be better if you caught the wuhan flu and died.
Shut up, queer!
O my man dude ranch. Here is that history lesson I promised you.
I would have posted yesterday but with the nice weather and the beach open, I had to take the opportunity to go. I also did not wear my false sense of security sheep mask either.
A quick American History lesson on Islam for dude ranch and anyone else who didnt know. These are all Historical faks yo 100% emoji
First things first, Muslim’s have been in America since 1619.
During the 1600’s european ships in the Mediterranean were often attacked by muslim pirates. The Muslim pirates then enslaved the captured european merchants and effectively the muslim’s sold them as slaves. Now it was not just European’s that were slave traded during this time. The muslim’s enslaved many people’s but if my memory is correct, they enslaved more than 1.5 million European’s during this time alone.
In 1662 England signs its first treaty with the barbary state. This treaty was in fact a promise to pay (tribute) the muslims not to attack English merchant ships and effectively protected merchant ships of the colonies.
During the American Revolution 1765 – 1783. The official start of the American Revolution being on April 19th 1775 in Lexington and Concord.
American merchant ships that traveled through the Mediterranean sea started being attacked again by Muslims Pirates from the barbary nation or the tripoli nation. The tripoli nation is morden day libya. The barbary nation was also known as the barbary states which consisted of morocco, algiers, tunis, turkey and tripoli.
At the end of the Revolution. the first continental navy was disbanded. So we in fact did not have nor did we ever have a true Navy during this time. The continental navy of the revolution was in fact vessels that where privately owned but commissioned by Congress.
In 1784, Congress send’s Jefferson, Adam’s & Franklin to London. They were sent to see why American Merchant ships were being attacked by Muslim pirates.
In 1786 Adam’s and Jefferson send a letter to the state department. Essentially the letter stated that, they had learned from the Muslim ambassador they met with, that the quran says, anyone who does not subject their self to muslim view or rule, is an enemy and should be punished by death. He also stated that any member of islam who kills in the name of islam is promised a place in heaven. The ambassador then went on to say that the quran tells muslims to kill for their religion and that it’s ok to lie too the infidel if it advances the muslim.
April 30th 1789, Washington is elected the first president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
During this time American merchant ships in the Mediterranean where still attacked by Muslim pirates. It was seven years later in 1796 that Washington sent a petition to Congress for a formal Navy. Washington asked Congress for a formal American Navy because of the ongoing attacks on American merchant ships by the muslim pirates of the barbary state.
In 1789, the first federal budget was set in motion. 10% of the federal budget was allocated as tribute to pay the barbary states not to attack U.S merchant ships. The four presidents after Washington were also allocated 10% of their federal budget to pay as tribute. Essentially this means that, the United states paid for the jihad aka terrorism against it’s own merchant ships not even knowing it.
On March 27th 1794 John Adam’s built the first United States Navy. This is why he is credited with being that Father of the United states Navy. At this time they were still paying tributes to the barbary state.
In 1796 the treaty of tripoli was signed. Under this treaty the barbary state told U.S. representatives that as part of their signing the treaty, the United Sates must build thim 6 frigates and I forget the exact amount of money, but they wanted money from the U.S. as well.
1797, xyz Affair with the French takes place. Robert Goodloe Harper stands in defiance during a toast with the French and says, ” Millions for defense not a penny for tribute ”
In 1801 Jefferson becomes president. He is allocated 15% of his federal budget to keep muslim pirates from attacking American Merchant Vessels by paying tributes.
He then says “no more, I have a Navy and marines” he also stated in a battle cry, “Millions for defense not a penny for tribute”
So in 1801 that’s when the first barbary war starts.
During this time, the term used to describe a Marine as a “leather neck” is also coined. The barbary pirates used what is called a “quick sword” they would use swords to decapitate Marines in battle. The Marine’s then started to wear a leather collar (leather stock) around their neck to protect themselves from decapitation thus the name “leather neck” was created. The first barbary war was from 1801 – 1806 until another treaty was signed with the barbary state.
In 1806 Isaiah Thomas wrote and published the first English translated Quran in Springfield Massachusetts. In the first few pages he basically tells American’s, ” read this and you will understand why Muslims went to war against us” because Americans at the time had questioned why muslims were attacking our ships and didnt understand why. Thomas also said what is equivalent in todays words as, “Sharia law does not go well with the fundamentals of American beliefs, because it is a barbaric belief and would undermine the United States Constitution”
In 1812 American and British went to war again. At this time America was fighting against the British and was also fighting against the barbary state.
The wars with islam lasted a total of 32 years.
History says that after 9/11 this was America’s first war on terrorism but history will show that, that is just not true.
American merchant ships that were attacked by muslim pirates were then held for ransom. Often times it was up to the family of the crew to try and raise money for their release.
Ransom as follows,
Captain’s, 6,500
Officer’s, 3,500
Sailor’s, 1,500
There were several nations under attack by muslims during this time. The french, english, Spain, Dutch, Sweden. In the first barbary war it was in fact the swedish that fought along side us against the muslims.
Now I could keep going on and on but I think I have articulated this true version of history more than enough.
I told you once and I’ll tell you again. I will school anyone in history, especially history of our GREAT NATION.
Mic Drop!
Hey man, hope you had a great weekend!
Look at the big brain on Brad…able to regurgitate Wikipedia! Bravo! Encore!
Yeah, I told you already I was 85% wrong. A new blog requires new comments and new subjects. Have a week, pal.
The whole US Navy and Marine Corps exist solely because of Muslims. They have been and continue to be a scourge from time immortal.
Enforcement: the great equalizer.
“Because I said so!”
“Because its a responsibility of the social fabric.”
“Because my brother can beat up your brother!”
Enforced by endless troops of Soiboys and Beckys, indoctrinated by media, guided by hapless apparatchiks like The Squad, Tall Deval and those crazy pocket pen protectors geeks who yell “SCIENCE!” with only a morsel of knowledge and a slavish devotion to group-think ( remember Global warming being Settled Science?) the target is in sight.
Look, Socialism 2.0 has been achieved.
If you are not on the Hamptons, on MV or in your mansions in the Hollywood Hills, you don’t fucking matter. You are merely cattle to be herded, managed, suffered through until the elites what to harvest your spoils or send you to the slaughterhouse.
2020 is 1984 (the Book) all over again.
Butt-faced Bernie is high-fiving his mirror 6 times a day in his Burlington Dacha.
So line up, move your feet to the music, don’t complain about the moldy bread.
This is the new normal. Hope you like the uniforms comrade.
We should have bombed you guys into oblivion when we had the chance. They just wouldn’t listen.
I was the one that wanted to rearm and align with the Germans to take out the damned commies in Russia! But that commie prick Roosevelt had other (((ideas))).
Here’s a thought:
If wearing a mask protects you, as the Government says, then why can’t we go back to work wearing masks?
If masks don’t protect you, then why are we being forced to wear them?
They ( the Government) shouldn’t be allowed to have it both ways.
Free will and choice have been taken from us, in the name of public safety.
If I own a hair salon, and I take proper precautions and I have a customer who is willing of their own free will and accord to come to my salon, because they also take proper precautions, why does the Government feel the need to interfere with my livelihood?
Good lord you people are dumb.
Just stay home if you are so scared you little puke.
For the same reason a dog licks his balls- because they CAN!
“If masks don’t protect you, then why are we being forced to wear them?”
One reason, and one reason only. It makes the Bettys and Karens [i]feel safe[/i]. About, and only about, the feelz!
well I see BB don’t work here
Maybe you should read about the article about NH hair salons opening, and why most hairdressers themselves are against it? Look at the provisions first of all, then look at what the hairdressers are saying about it. Yes, of course they want and need the money, but it’s actually harming businesses right now by doing that. There are many reasons why. Yet, people cry about the importance of a haircut while the hairdressers begrudgingly perform them, and still end up in the NEGATIVE. Economically wise, it’s a bad move to do this now, the business owners say so themselves. But yeah, that shitty Karen haircut is sooooo important that it jeopardizes the health of the workers, but also their BOTTOM LINE. The economy is not in working in favor of these businesses. We know. Thanks for caring though.
How is this enforceable? Did they print thousands of citation books last week and distribute them to cops across the commonwealth? What citation book does a cop have that says 300 fine for not wearing a mask? What is you right to appeal?
Or you can just put a fucking mask on your face and stop being a whiny little bitch.
Okay Greg now that you have your useless mask on. Go jump off the tobin bridge. It is good for you to jump.
You’re the only bitch in here, you fucking cunt.
Hey Gregory, howwwwwwww bouuutttt noooooooooo. You can keep wearing your cloth mask to make your self feel better though. Hows that false sense of security make you feel? Tell us about it! You little bahhh baaaaa bahhhhh sheep stfu!
