Gov. David Ige says state indoor mask mandate to end March 25

[Durian Fiend]

I was always taught that when you started with the insults you have lost the argument. But let us entertain the premise. Do you really believe 90% of the country, all countries for that matter and 1/3 of our local population according to your survey are psychopaths? Must be lonely in such a small minority of sanity. From the denigration of your neighbors it seems you do occupy an elite minority space in our community.

I do believe doth protest too much and I do not think that word means what you think it means. If I were occupying your position I do think it would be good logic to wear a well fitting N95, I hope you aren’t counting on a clothe mask to protect you from the coming hoards.

Clearly Obie was using hyperbole with "that word" to imply a general lack of concern for their fellow citizens from the anti mask crowd.   It's disengenuous or incorrect to conclude they meant it literally.

The premise you're attacking is entirely of your own construction.   Not every maskless person encountered in E. Hawaii will be one of the vehemently anti mask "psychos" found on the Punaweb forum.   Like me, for instance!      

We will see in a few weeks how this plays out. If case counts stay down, more people will likely feel safe about ditching their masks. 

OTOH, if numbers go up, will the hordes be coming back to hoard?  Oh no, not again...
