When Mask-Wearing Rules in the 1918 Pandemic Faced Resistance | HISTORY
The influenza pandemic of 1918 and 1919 was the most deadly flu outbreak in history, killing up to 50 million people worldwide. In the United States, where it ultimately killed around 675,000 people, local governments rolled out initiatives to try to stop its spread. These varied by region, and included closing schools and places of public amusement, enforcing "no-spitting" ordinances, encouraging people to use handkerchiefs or disposable tissues and requiring people to wear masks in public.

What relevance does a mask mandate have to this discussion? I never wore a mask anywhere during COVID, and never will. The people that wore masks were nothing more than Biden sheeple. Scientific evidence now shows that masks didn't slow down the spread of COVID, dumbest thing ever, it was nothing more than a power push to see what percentage of the population would blindly listen to the federal government.

Maybe if you say it a few more times someone will think it's funny? At least I won't report your joke recycling to the cops.

I routinely entered many places without a mask. I was stopped and asked to put it on a few times but I didn't. Oddly enough the only place I was denied entry too was a specialty beer store. So I just went to a different one.

You GoWilkes Democracks don't forget to strap your diaper on your face before you walk out this morning.

Flu season is only months away.

Anti why to you insist on repeating misinformation, when it has been debunked over and over?

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is presenting a distorted account of President Donald Trump's words on the coronavirus, wrongly suggesting Trump branded the virus a hoax.

In fact, Trump pronounced Democratic criticism of his pandemic response a hoax.

One of my people came up to me and said, 'Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.' That didn't work out too well. They couldn't do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was not a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They'd been doing it since you got in. It's all turning. They lost. It's all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax."

Our reading of these comments is that Trump is saying Democratic criticism of him is a hoax, not that the coronavirus doesn't exist or wasn't real.

No one wore a n95 mask.

In the beginning, it felt like we were all united on masking and precautions. Then Trump told everyone that COVID was fake and that masks were stupid, and suddenly health and safety became political

It was a retired nurse that stood at the door, handing out masks and pointing to the hand sanitizer

Hey shouldadolly, once again your vile behavior rears its ugly head.

So nothing you encountered. Just hearsay. Got it.

Hospitals have routinely had mask or limits on visitors for the mere flu, why not whine then?

WFUBMC had an armed guard enforcing their mask requirement at their main campus.

Were any of you ever denied entry for any place you wanted to go?

Be honest.

"Hill bill I bet you are one of those idi0ts that wears a mask to this date in your car alone with the windows up."

You make this "joke" like every time masks come up.

Kangz dont let anyone tell them to wear a diaper on the face

Hill bill I bet you are one of those idi0ts that wears a mask to this date in your car alone with the windows up.

"Do you think we should go back to the government telling us to west a mask to fight Covid, or ax Antithedis css as lord of "The flu""

As a matter of fact, yes, this question did confuse me.

Would you respect Stoney Greene more if he had supported a Wilkes County mask mandate?
