As I ran errands in Fryeburg today, businesses still had their mask mandate signs up. I carried a mask but didn’t put it on. I was waiting for someone to tell me to but that didn’t happen. Fryeburg business owners all know me as a conservative so perhaps that was it. When I asked a few why they still had the mask signs up, proprietors told me our beloved mother, I mean Gov. Janet Mills, said we can stop wearing masks on May 24.
“I assume she informed all the COVID-19 virus particles that May 23 is the absolute last day they’re allowed to infect us. Am I right?” I asked one woman. She and a clerk who overheard burst out laughing. Everyone I saw in that store had masks on.
I just think it's telling that the CDC announces that people no longer have to wear masks, and the first response from New Hampshire "health officials" is to scoff and act shocked. The same people who have been telling us to listen to the CDC and "trust the science" for over a year are now saying we shouldn't believe what the CDC tells us. Absolutely removes any doubt in my mind that this was ever anything more than politics and social control.
States with the highest Covid rates per capita as of May 5th: #1 North Dakota, #3 South Dakota #4 Utah #5 Tennessee # 6 Arizona #7 Iowa #8 Nebraska #9 Wisconsin #10 Oklahoma. Someone get McLaughlin a map. (Fellow Conwaysun curmudgeon columnist, William Marvel, once called McLaughlin a "whipping boy" for liberals. Marvel is usually more careful with language. A "whipping boy" takes punishment for someone else. McLaughlin usually deserves the opprobrium he receives.) BTW: self-accredited doctor Rand Paul once again exposed himself as a fraud in that hearing and the New Hampshire RT. 16 Portsmouth/Dover construction project took 10 years.
