Masked Man Commentary: Oh really they call that softening the stance!? what stance are they referring to!? Why do people have to show their faces and don't we have more important things to attend to!? I can't even get animal control to follow state regulations and keep my neighbor's chickens out of my back yard during bird flu.. can we concentrate on getting my county to follow state statutes that prohibits domesticated fowl from running at large or are we going to pick on masked people such as myself? I'm all paid up on my taxes and I wear a mask to prevent getting a medical condition while you don't so what gives!?  Gov. Kathy Hochul should encourage people to wear a mask at mass gatherings during political upheavals to help prevent prev by the spread of airborne disease and to reduce the burden on hospitals that treat people after mass gatherings.

Why the reduction of spreading covid is not on these talking heads’s political agenda is beyond my belief.

I’d be wearing a safety mask if I were Gov. Kathy Hochul at public events because I am a pandemic survivor thus far and have so far managed to dodge covid and other airborne diseases for over five years now. It’s no accident I haven’t gotten sick the last five years nor do I recommend frequenting the areas these politicians frequent especially without a safety mask.

Politicians are prime candidates alright.. prime candidates for airborne diseases at mass public gatherings. Politicians eat out all the time and travel all the time. Perfect specimens. They are always at that podium sharing a dirty fuzzy spongy microphone up against their mouths with their constituency.

Before wastewater studies came out I used to simply monitor politicians health to gauge whether a covid wave was coming or not.

There go I but for the grace of the mask,

I mean c'mon I think I have some say in the matter. Not trying to be a 'maskhole' or anything but I mask and Ive never had covid and and so I find it somewhat shocking Gov. Kathy Hochul is so antimask considering she has had covid and therefore has likely spread it to others. Its hard to tell if the governor has long covid as well which should be a concern. To me, its just so wrong for a person who has had covid not to encourage others to mask... read it for yourselves...

Gov. Kathy Hochul tests positive for COVID-19
BY Adam Penale and Associated Press Albany
UPDATED 7:29 PM ET May. 08, 2022

https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/capital-region/politics/2022/05/08/gov--kathy-hochul-tests-positive-for-covid-19


"Hochul is at least the 18th U.S. governor to test positive for COVID-19, according to an Associated Press tally. Several U.S. governors have tested positive in recent months, with Connecticut’s Ned Lamont and Maine’s Janet Mills testing positive in April. New York City Mayor Eric Adams tested positive on April 10, his 100th day in office.

Hochul’s positive test comes amid rising case numbers in New York. For weeks, much of upstate New York has been in the high-alert orange zone, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention designation that reflects serious community spread.

New York City last week crossed the city’s threshold for “medium risk,” indicating the widening spread of the subvariant knowns as BA.2 that has swept the state’s northern reaches.

The Associated Press contributed to this report."

-Masked Man thinks: I'm sorry but that is just a glutton for punishment .. telling others not to mask while covid lurks amongst our peers. Stay away from me sickos! I'm wearing a mask and I'm happy... jeesh! What drugs are these politicians on!? What happened to intelligent caring behavior? One has to ask: Do they want to catch covid again!?

I just can't listen to anybody that has had covid tell me not to wear a mask even though I  might not have any medical conditions. Why would a healthy guy not want to wear a mask around maskless people  like Hochul who have had covid in the past and might be prone to covid because of their social lavish lifestyle of travel and constant schmoozing in public gatherings? I lessen the possibility of getting a medical condition because of my mask..I wear a mask to prevent medical conditions! That's why I wear a mask!!! I wear a mask because I don't wanna get covid like Hochul did..WTF!?

It's not the masks, its the mass gatherings and political upheavals that politicians are hosting and creating that are the problem. People are exercising their rights.. If ya can't beat them join 'em and if you do join 'em wear a mask so ya don't get sick!. That's what's going on. Hochul ought to be grateful when she sees someone in a mask because it cuts back on the chances she gets covid yet again.

Okay so there is a penal code already in place:

Penal Code Section 185 PC, it is unlawful to wear a mask or disguise in order to evade the police. so what's the difference nobody is allowed to run or evade the police maskless either! Hochul is being frivolous in this masking matter.. just concentrate on the laws that are already in place.

...Big deal people in public wearing a mask aren't running and hiding from police..get over it... people who don't commit crime in masks aren't committing a crime. Call the police if you see someone committing  a crime be they in a mask or maskless... That's all.

Police aren't going to arrest me because of my mask. In fact Ive called the police on my neighbors a few times for out of control parties and trespassing while in my mask and Ive dealt with lots of authorities  in person while wearing mask  and they are fine with it.

I can assure everybody of this: Nobody has to worry about this Masked Man. Maskless people make me sick,, I can't even stand being around the maskless..I barely go out in public..I'm certainly no threat..I don't look at the face ...I look into the eyes...the eyes are the window to the soul..I'd be worry about the next outbreak if were the maskless...

Houchul said
“I have said before that I support some variation of restrictions on the use of masks, except for medical and religious reasons,” Ms. Hochul said on Wednesday."


This doesn't make any sense for her to take a stance on masking that means only people with medical conditions are allowed to wear masks. What if masks were illegal?

I'd argue it is the other way around and that more crimes are committed against the masked. I have had to call animal control for stray German shepherds and rotweillers and chickens in my yard(I have a little dog I walk on leash)..I have had so many people trespass into my yard, I have had neighbor encroach with excavator and steal rocks out of our creek for a culvert with no permit.. I have called police on several occasions for giant out of control riot like behavior of drunken people in my yard because of college football parties... and I am the only one wearing a mask trying to defend myself.

Ive even had temper tantrums where I was on my property and maybe I was yelling at neighbor's to get their animals off my land and police come to house .. they just talked to me..they didn't make me take my mask off or check my ID... they listened to my side of the story and they let me be. I was reasonable. I don't do drugs or drink. Cops know this when ever I have had the pleasure of talking with law enforcement in my mask. They don't come after a reasonable person just because they are masked. Law enforcement officers probably find it refreshing to meet a sober reasonable masked crusader! We respect one another.. they have a dangerous job. They aren't bothered by my mask in my experience whatsoever.

There should be no stipulations or laws directed at people who chose to mask nowadays... people should be allowed and encouraged to wear masks like the once covid stricken Hochul herself was allowed to freely mask at this school.

Hocul's achievements
DEC. 27, 2021
Hochul wears mask around children in school so we can keep schools open and everybody is safe
May. 08, 2022 Hochul gets covid(as have many governors)
March 19 2025 Hochul says she support some variation of restrictions on the use of masks

okay here's Masked Man's timespan:
DEC. 27, 2021 Masked man wears mask
May. 08, 2022 Masked Man watches on news that a bunch of governors get covid
March 19 2025 Masked Man still wears mask doesnt get covid checks pulse feels great. I'm going for the Guinness world record of masking in public and not catching covid..anybody wanna help me achieve my world record?

..Its like I'm looking at two different people. I like the masked Hochul.. seem sensible.. She's around children ..its all about being safe and education.

Hey Gov, Any chance of mandating masks for people at healthcare who deal with airborne viruses everyday? That way we could save lives with masks instead of chasing after the occasional masked bank robber whom you are proposing get a higher punishment for having used a mask while robbing a bank.

Its like a split personality or something..two faced a dr Jeckle and Mr Hide...lol.. I don't like the mean maskless one..I prefer the Masked Hochul! The one that masks for children and the community ..I prefer the caring Masked Hochul! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

P.S. Here's why even considering banning masks scares me.. I take care of an elderly loved one. I don't wanna get her sick and I don't wanna get sick.I can't afford it and I don't want covid... do I need a lawyer to walk down my street in a mask? My redneck neighbor's ostriches me for masking which is just as well, people laugh sometimes when I ride my bike in my mask and look at me funny ...I can't even get our doctor to wear a mask to check on my loved one who masks and yet I haven't caught covid or any airborne illnesses in over 5 years...my health iw good enough and I play music and I dance and I love life so I find it ridiculous that anyone would consider making my mask illegal. Banning masks is real threatening to me that wants to preserve my life and way of life. I like my mask it saves me a lot of trouble and is a great tool I use everyday for good things.
