Who's In Charge Here?


In case you still believe that someone in authority knows what the heck is going on with the pandemic, get over it. Nobody knows more than you do, or possibly even as much as you. Here's proof. In today's Wall Street Journal the lead article about the CDC's latest mandate on masking reports: "Fully vaccinated people don't need to wear a mask or physically distance during outdoor or indoor activities, large or small, federal health officials said."

In the very next paragraph, we are told: "The fully vaccinated should continue to wear a mask while traveling by plane, bus or train.'' WTF?

Further muddying of the waters comes from the long-held and greatly repeated canard that most viruses and other germs do not spread easily on flights because of how the air circulates and is filtered on airplanes. You know, what with all the HEPA filters and such.

My advice: Stay at home, preferably in bed under the covers with a mask on, until the next election.
