Where is my fucking mask

Posted in Current Events on August 12th, 2021

I have questions for president Joe Biden, Dr. Fauci, the other clowns in the Washington DC shit show and anyone that believes these goons are looking out for our best interest, and the first question is "where's my fucking mask?"

If you demand that we wear them, why haven't you been supplying them?

  1. If you really wanted to stop the spread of Covid-19 and masks are the answer, why haven't you been delivering proper masks to every mail box, every door step and every open business for the past year? 
  2. Why have I never seen or heard of a location where I can go to pick up proper and safe masks free of charge?
  3. Why isn't there a "GET MASKS HERE" link on the CDC website so I can be sure I get the proper protection instead of being ripped off by some ineffective Chinese copy?

You idiots have killed small businesses, you took away our jobs, prices are skyrocketing and you're ordering us to wear masks that we have buy with our own fucking money? What kind of bullshit is that? I'd think that at least one free mask per person – so we know what a proper mask looks like – would've been included in the trillions of dollars you've spent, but no. Not one single mask. You losers hand out needles to junkies and free condoms to highschool and college kids, but it never crossed your mind to give us masks. 

Question for my illustrious governor Steve Sisolak; If proper masks are the answer and the feds won't provide them, why isn't Nevada stepping up to provide them? If you were really trying to stop the spread of Covid, shouldn't free access to proper mask for everyone in the state be a top priority? Where's my fucking mask Sisolak?

What is a proper mask?

Hell if I know. The people ordering me to wear one haven't shown me what a proper mask looks like, but according to the "journalists" at Wired.com, the materials testing organization ASTM International finally published the first-ever manufacturing standards on what constitutes a good face covering. It will take time for manufacturers to have their products tested and certified, but soon (soon?) you should be able to find cloth masks that have been vetted by a third party. 

In the meantime, the best thing to do is make sure your mask follows the recommended guidelines from the CDC, fits well, and is clean. A good reusable mask should completely cover your nose and mouth, use at least two fabric layers, and be washable. When I receive a mask, I first use the light and candle test—can I see light through the weave? Can I blow a candle out while wearing it? The mask's weave should be tight enough to prevent you from doing either of those things.

December 27, 2021 update: Connecticut to Distribute At-Home COVID-19 Tests, N95 Masks

Two years into this pandemic the state of Connecticut plans to distribute 3 million at-home COVID-19 rapid tests and 6 million N95 facemasks this week to help blunt the rising number of infections. This is the first time I've heard of any state doing anything like this.  Link to article

Who were the Huguenots?

The Huguenots were a religious group of French Protestants who held to the Reformed, or Calvinist, tradition of Protestantism. The term has its origin in early-16th-century France. It was frequently used in reference to those of the Reformed Church of France from the time of the Protestant Reformation. By contrast, the Protestant populations of eastern France, in Alsace, Moselle, and Montbéliard, were mainly German Lutherans.

In his Encyclopedia of Protestantism, Hans Hillerbrand said that, on the eve of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572, the Huguenot community made up as much as 10% of the French population. By 1600 it had declined to 7–8%, and was reduced further after the return of severe persecution in 1685 under Louis XIV's Edict of Fontainebleau.

The Huguenots are believed to have been concentrated among the population in the southern and western parts of the Kingdom of France. As Huguenots gained influence and more openly displayed their faith, Catholic hostility grew. A series of religious conflicts followed, known as the French Wars of Religion, fought intermittently from 1562 to 1598. The Huguenots were led by Jeanne d'Albret; her son, the future Henry IV (who would later convert to Catholicism in order to become king); and the princes of Condé. The wars ended with the Edict of Nantes, which granted the Huguenots substantial religious, political and military autonomy.

Huguenot rebellions in the 1620s resulted in the abolition of their political and military privileges. They retained the religious provisions of the Edict of Nantes until the rule of Louis XIV, who gradually increased persecution of Protestantism until he issued the Edict of Fontainebleau (1685). This ended legal recognition of Protestantism in France and the Huguenots were forced to either convert to Catholicism (possibly as Nicodemites) or flee as refugees; they were subject to violent dragonnades. Louis XIV claimed that the French Huguenot population was reduced from about 900,000 or 800,000 adherents to just 1,000 or 1,500. He exaggerated the decline, but the dragonnades were devastating for the French Protestant community.

The remaining Huguenots faced continued persecution under Louis XV. By the time of his death in 1774, Calvinism had been nearly eliminated from France. Persecution of Protestants officially ended with the Edict of Versailles, signed by Louis XVI in 1787. Two years later, with the Revolutionary Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, Protestants gained equal rights as citizens.
