My take on masks.

[Spaced]

Not wearing masks to take measures against an infectious disease is a delirious idiocy that is only found among US right wing.

There is no other corner of the planet in which there is a delirious, organized opposition to taking measures for saving people's lives. Even where ultra far right types organized 'protests' in certain cities in Europe, only a few hundred people showed up. Even far-right neonazis avoided getting associated with this kind of delirium.

It is not even a question that someone who cares for other people would take utmost of measures to prevent other people in case s/he is infected.

It can be difficult to know how best to live the Law of One. We have the Ra Material, but of course, there are so many nuances to life that discerning the most positive path possible to navigate a situation seems unlikely. Consider the broad strokes: Do masks support a coming together and a unity or do they support a moving apart and an isolation? I think that may be for each person to decide, but there are general trends that are created and promoted through consensus. What is the general trend being created by mask wearing? Curious to know your thoughts.

To me, wearing a mask is a sign of solidarity with your community. By wearing a mask you are taking seriously the responsibility for keeping your community healthy and slowing the spread of disease. Seeing people wearing masks and following recommendations from healthcare professionals is encouraging and makes me feel like we are all working together, doing our part to take care of each other.

If you look at the world, countries that are dealing with the pandemic the best are ones with a strong communal ethic and the ones that are doing the worst are ones where individualism and personal choice are placed above the needs of society.

I'm sick of all the social distancing and not seeing my family who live far away, but the only way to get through all of this is to take it seriously and do our part.
