Two days ago, I forgot to wear my helmet for a 10-mile bike ride. I hung it up as I checked tire pressure, then forgot to put it on. I was fine.

Does that mean I don't need to wear a helmet? Of course not. It'll be on my head where it belongs on my next ride.

Were the risks great not wearing one? No, the risks were miniscule--but those risks would accumulate if I didn't wear one on every ride.

Now, replace helmet with mask and bike with crowded space. See how this works? #COVID19

COWARDS. All of you. THIS is a headline:

Rolling Stone: "War Criminal Beloved by America's Ruling Class"

An immunocompromised person in my family got COVID for the first time, AT THE HOSPITAL because they stopped requiring ANY PRECAUTIONS. No masks, no nothing.

They can't avoid the hospital so that means they'll just have to roll the dice each time they go?

What a cruel world.

Immunocompromised means the vaccine doesn't work as well. So what the current US policy says is equivalent to "you're on your own" good luck! 😡😡😡
