When I lived in Seattle, the local newspaper wrote an article about regular people doing this and making over $100,000 a year panhandling. They'd dress up in rags and leave their hair and body unkempt, drive away every morning from their swank apartment complexes in their nice cars, and work the streets until night.
What are some ways around this new York Mask law? I remember when new York city passed a law that all dogs must be in a bag while on the subway. People complied by doing this:
I have masks for work, I usually only wear them for work.
I can have it around my neck the rest of the time I suppose?

I went out today and into the city, didn't wear any mask, people did but it's all a joke, it doesn't do anything.
I was thinking about a good way to mock this mask-wearing-bullshit and I remembered that a brown paper bag could be the best and universal way to do this. It's instantly funny and everyone can get one. Plus you can write a slogan. Next time I'm going out I'll be wearing one of these with 'freedom or death' written in front.
I'd like this to catch on. Share this idea with your local shit lords.

I think a lot of people are going along with it not because they buy it, but because it's too embarrassing to be the lone wannabe rebel that stands out. So they pretend to themselves that they believe it, that way they can do all the stupid shit like everyone else and look normal ("normal") while knowing how dumb it all is but it doesn't matter because everyone else is doing it too.
And they tell off anyone who fails to follow the rules, that way they can keep up the self delusion that it's real. You have to collectively act like it's real, otherwise the whole house of cards falls down and then you have to face the fact that you're being scammed and that you already knew it, which means now you have to face how you really feel about it and that's too scary. Most people can't handle knowing that they live in an insane world, so they'd rather join in the dance.
If everyone was given a lie detector test, I think you'd find that most people think this is all bullshit. This whole thing is a study in humans' need to be seen as normal, as in following the norm, not actually being normal. I think if everyone was told to walk on all fours they'd do it. The thing is, it doesn't take much courage to go against it, all it takes is lots of people showing just a little bit of courage, not much, just a bit, and it's over.

social distancing, 2020
Anyone tried this one yet?

On a serious note, a solid plastic mask with only eye slits is actually pretty effective at preventing exhalation of droplets, and likely has at least some effect on inhalation too.

Meanwhile in Michigan things continue to get worse.
Michigan Judge Authorizes County to ‘Involuntarily Detain’ Suspected Coronavirus Victims
A Michigan judge has granted the Kent County Department of Health the authority to arrest suspected coronavirus victims it deems a “health threat.”
On April 6, 2020, 17th Circuit Court Chief Judge Mark Trusock granted an order sought by Kent County Health officer Adam London, who was seeking the power to “involuntarily” detain suspected virus carriers.

Haven't seen a single person here wearing any kind of mask at all (and there are slews of people out enjoying the weather) but I know the local Whole Foods copycat store is "requiring them."
If I HAVE to mask up for something, I'll just use the crappy dollar store "Trisonic" brand filter masks to tick the box. Not breaking out the N95s for nothing.
I'm also not trying to make a statement and look like a dork around here (which you would in this area wearing anything like a bag or a Guy Fawkes mask).
If you're in NYC or something I could see the outrageous masks as a statement for sure. But suburbia where no one's wearing masks anyway? Hard pass.

Because the Church understands all Governmental Authority comes from God, and so, you obey, unless it directly-contradicts God's teachings, and this combination of humility and obedience is protection against the Devil's machinations towards Pride. The Catholic Church, when faced with a virus of unknown severity, understood Jesus' teaching that the Laws are somewhat flexible in name of Charity, so made the sensible call and granted dispensation from attending Mass - one of the many mercies often granted by the Church in the name of Charity - because it's not like a Catholic's connection with God vanishes in the absence of the ability to get to Church, and this frustration of our desire to attend Mass can be suffered patiently for our own sanctification, which I why I haven't heard any of my congregation complain about either the virus or the social effects of it when I've spoken to them at different times. We all Trust and Accept what Providence brings us.
This is how Blessed Mary could stand at the foot of the Cross and never complain to God about what was happening to her son, but accepted His Will.
This is how St Therese of Lisieux reacted to her first Haemoptyses on the evening of Good Friday, revealing that she now faced an inevitable death from Tuberculosis:
If you only read her autobiography, you'd have no true idea of the harsh reality this woman lived, and her brutal, lingering death, because everything is received in the mode of Love, and that is what gives Catholic's strength.
You're free to rebel if you want: America is built upon a Protestant Revolution against the Catholic Church; a Freemason revolution against God-ordained Monarchy; a Jewish revolution against the Natural Law and is currently-worshipping a Jewish-Controlled Billionaire promising a false spiritual revolution. I'm accepting by now it's just in the blood over there.
And if fostering a rebellious spirit and deciding to change the world to match your desired image for it seems to guarantee a dysfunctional interior life, well, it must be just be a coincidence, sure, but it seems reliably-demonic:
Huh. Interesting tattoo there.
Ok, ok. I get it. You're not like them. You believe you're righteous. The Church, who has Authority from God, has told Catholics they can stay home during a Perceived Pandemic. So, is this accepted, or do you point the finger and accuse the person you don't believe has the Authority to make that call?
There are many ways to be led into error, so basically: suck it up and offer it up. The alternative is far worse.

I've still got my og Motorola RAZR. I have been waiting years for a reason to put that bad boy back into service.
I even found a replacement battery for it.
Wouldn't be surprised if my carrier refused to reactivate it for "compatibility issues."
Need to think more on the day to day practicality of it before implementation.
