Selfish people ignoring science who don’t care about the health of everyone else.
One of the signs of Covid-19 is lack of taste. https://t.co/shG9pyyaQJ

CNN's Jim Acosta: "Why are you not wearing your mask?"
Rallygoer: "Because there's no COVID. It's a fake pandemic. Created to destroy the United States of America."

In case @WyndhamHotels monitors its Twitter feed, you should know the LaQuinta at Central & Meadow in Dallas is having trouble enforcing the mask policy. Big percent of guests only wear them when they pass the front desk. No masks in elevators & hallways. Staff feels helpless.

So we ask a guy, who is standing with his little kid and older father, if they could put on masks. His response: “You must be voting for Biden.” Our country was driven into a ditch. Supporters of the driver cheer him rather than listen to those trying to get us out of the ditch.

The thing is, they know they're wrong. It's not enough for them to reject wearing masks, they want *you* to *affirm* them in it because the last little bit of rationality in them is making them feel humiliated and it's intolerable to them. https://t.co/YeIj7QHcpa
American men are still resisting wearing masks. The problem, experts say, is they’re afraid of looking weak. https://t.co/6quqUxyIS9
