Young women model masks worn during America’s Dust Bowl disaster, circa 1935
No pathogenic threat has ever packed quite the same 1-2 punch to America’s health and economic system as the coronavirus. The 1930s Dust Bowl during the Great Depression in the US comes closest, mimicking COVID-19’s acute respiratory distress and suddenness…
Fuck there are alot of idiots in the notes. Lemme assist:
1. Wearing a mask is not to protect you. We know that’s not how it works. It’s to protect others from you. From your water droplets. We ain’t talking about airborne fucking molecules, buddy. Its water droplets, blocked by cloth, keeping other safe. Reminding people that wearing a cloth mask doesnt protect you from viruses is stupid and besides the point. We all know this. You dont look smart you look confused.
2. Even if you’re asymptomatic (you seem healthy, no cough or fever or anything) you could still fully have and spread the virus. Plenty of people have died because of this. Dont kill your neighbors, people.
3. No one expects you to eat with a mask on and joking about it to discredit this isnt fucking funny or clever. The response to “eating out at restaurants is selfish and dangerous” isnt “lol what you want me to wear a mask while I eat?” No, fuckheads, we want you to not go out to eat. We were all doing it. We were all doing it for months. Staying in. Taking out. Caring for one another (which in turn cares for ourselves, if you cant conceptualize why you should care for others any other way)
4. Service workers aren’t thankful and begging to be let back to work serving your selfish and disgusting asses because its what they want. The government has taken away their protections, especially by reopening early, which was done to benefit the wealthy. Framing these people as benevolent philanthropists for fucking going out to brunch cuz they’re, what, sick of their own house? Is disgusting and wrong. The workers are being held hostage.
honestly what infuriates me most about this is that you know that in a couple weeks we are going to be seeing stories of disney workers who have to be in the park almost 24/7 desperately asking ungrateful and conceited guests to wear their masks and to put masks on their children who will still sneeze/spit/slobber on everything they can touch. and i already know that these same people will throw fits when they’re are told to put on a mask and will take it out on the poor workers who have to be there because they are treated like expendable resources by disney corp
your disney obsession at 30+ is not worth the lives of workers and immune compromised members of the community that you will inevitably pass the virus to just so you can go see mickey mouse
Hey so, Orlando local here, and there’s something I wanna add to this as someone who has multiple friends and families working in these parks.
Please please remember that it’s Not just Disney World that you need to be calling out on this. Sad part is, for awhile, WDW was the park/resort area playing it the safest here. Universal Studios, Busch Gardens, Sea World, Legoland, etc. ALL reopened back in June, I believe as early as June 4th. WDW actually decided to remain closed through the 4th of July weekend to prevent large crowds, who probably would’ve shown up even with no fireworks shows happening for the foreseeable future. Seaworld? Was advertising fireworks for that entire weekend, and even if people didn’t end up showing up that could’ve been a disaster waiting to happen.
One of the worst things in my opinion is that Legoland, the ‘rite of passage’ park for a lot of local little kids that draws in about the same age-range as WDW, doesn’t even require masks like all the others are, they only ‘encourage’ their guests to bring them if they want. And from what I’ve heard, even though Seaworld and Busch Gardens require guest to have them on to enter the parks, there’s little to no enforcement of it once inside, there’s even videos floating around of their Upper Mangament walking around with no masks at all or of them wearing them like chin straps.
So yeah, while I get why Disney World is all over the news right now because, well, it’s fucking Disney, don’t let these other theme parks get away with this shit either just because they aren’t the first ones you think of when you think of amusement parks here in Florida, please. Make all of them be accountable for this.
