I had the esteemed privilege of watching the masked up hordes in action this past long weekend in Sauble Beach. From a distance and without a mask on myself of course. I tried to cancel but this trip was booked last year. Long story, but we ended up going.
I won't get into all of the boring details, but the pro-maskers really need to get off the koolaid. It isn't the few of us who would rather not wear a mask that are the problem, it's the selfish, entitled behaviour of mask wearers who will perpetuate it.
My family and I were only in contact with each other and the lady at the registration desk at the campground. Our friends (separate trailers and campsites) were elbow to elbow with the mases daily, and made stops in multiple towns and big cities on the road. We drove straight through (one stop for gas and drive through) and kept to ourselves. One day it rained nonstop, and while they went into town for more entertainment, we stayed on the campsite and made the most if it. Who is really "slowing the spread"?
The pro-maskers now have a free pass to go back to their old ways and that's what started this to begin with. I don't understand the attraction or need to be jammed in with other people for the sake of entertaining oneself.
As a side note, I made it through the entire long weekend without once wearing a mask or breaking any bylaws. My wife, who isn't sold on masks either, did not mind making the few required in person transactions where masks were required.
One key takeaway from the 1918 pandemic was that the potential benefit of masks is only achievable in conjunction with other rigid public health measures. Somehow we've disregarded history and come to the conclusion that implementing masks while dropping the measures that have been proven to work is the answer. Again I'll say, we'll see what happens when the weather cools down and people are back indoors.
