Mr. Varvel, just because you have not yet outgrown adolescent rebelliousness, it does not mean that a Governor who understands how to control infectious disease spread is acting like your parent. But hopefully you can still learn; I’m not exactly sure which year you are currently in, but taking AP Biology can lead to college credit if you get a B or better.
Golly you should be permitted to make everyone sick, but it is against the law to knowingly spread disease. Trump knew in Feb covid was deadly and he let it spread.
I feel that way about burn bans. HOW DARE the government tell me I can burn! It is my god (Prometheus) given right to burn. If other people are scared of fires, let them stand outside with a hose and spray their house. Wildfires are a hoax anyway. /s
Wanting it and suggesting it is one thing, dictating it is another. I might not agree with them, but the non-maskers have the right to do as they please. The government has a role in public health but people have the right to make their own decisions. It’s that pesky liberty thing.
As long as Trump declared victory over the plague before it even got a good start, as long as he said it was no big deal and “85% of mask wearers get covid”, the MAGAts were going to consider it an act of defiance and patriotism to go along with him and refuse to wear a mask. We can only thank God that he will soon be history and many of them will either wake up from their kool aid hangover or die of Trump’ s Plague.
Maybe it’s time Mr. Varvel got a decent job; like a pimp, or maybe a piano player in a brothel. No masks required, and make sure you sneeze on all the clientele.
247,646 covid-19 victims @ 3:44am 11/14/2020I don’t understand it, Varvel, you would rather be dead than caught wearing a mask? It must really hurt to be such a sycophant to party dogma.
Do you think it is stupid for doctors in operating rooms to wear masks? Do you think that is some kind of political statement? All those front-line health workers wearing masks, I suppose you count them “progressives.” Losers. Suckers. Is that the way you see it Varvel?
Hanlon’s razor – Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
From Bazaro:“Many in the U.S. have turned mask-wearing into a political tool, which, as an American, I find to be very embarrassing. As one Internet meme put it: A mask is not a political statement, it’s an I.Q. test. "
You fail, Varvel. I’m beginning to understand why you troglodytes see educated people as"elitists."
The government is tasked with assuring the general welfare of the populace. The government has, over the centuries, imposed quarantines a d lockdowns in time of epidemic. They did it in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Don’t act like this isn’t government’s job — as it always has been.
Gary, we don’t give two farts if you or yours get sick. Just stay out of the hospitals. Front line workers are being exposed daily because folks refuse to do what is good for the country. Thank goodness the Greatest Generation didn’t bawl like the folks today or things would have turned out differently during the war.

You wouldn’t need to governor to take on the role of your parent if you acted like a responsible adult.

Gary, suggest you meet with staff on a Covid unit then see how you feel about wearing a mask.

Well, of course the government is your parent, since you’re still a silly little child who needs one.

Holcomb is too conservative to even discuss medical marijuana yet varvie’s dumb ass depicts him as a progressive.
