Hi there;
Just doing a nice low and loud flypast of the Brotherton Bunker also known as the Jefferson County Board of Health.
Understand we have enemy forces closing in on Dr. Berry ready to Benghazi her, and understand there are somecomplaining about masking.

the strongest evidence in favor of masks come from studies of real-world scenarios. “The most
important thing are the epidemiologic data,” said Rutherford. Because it would be unethical to
assign people to not wear a mask during a pandemic, the epidemiological evidence has come
from so-called “experiments of nature.”
A recent study published in Health Affairs, for example, compared the COVID-19 growth rate
before and after mask mandates in 15 states and the District of Columbia. It found that mask
mandates led to a slowdown in daily COVID-19 growth rate, which became more apparent over
time. The first five days after a mandate, the daily growth rate slowed by 0.9 percentage-points
compared to the five days prior to the mandate; at three weeks, the daily growth rate had slowed
by 2 percentage-points.
Another study looked at coronavirus deaths across 198 countries and found that those with
cultural norms or government policies favoring mask-wearing had lower death rates.
Here's the CDC:

Wear a Mask to Protect Yourself and OthersMasking is a critical public health tool and it is important to remember that any mask is better than nomask.Wear the most protective mask you can that fits well and that you will wear consistently.Wearing a high-quality mask along with vaccination, self-testing, and physical distancing, helps protectyou and others by reducing the chance of spreading COVID-19.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/masks-public-transportation.html
When people properly wear a high-quality mask or respirator, they protect themselves and those aroundthem, and help keep travel and public transportation safer for everyone. Wearing a high-quality mask orrespirator is most beneficial in crowded or poorly ventilated locations, such as airport jetways. CDC alsoencourages operators of public transportation and transportation hubs to support mask wearing by allpeople, including employees.
OK, that's sufficient.
No way in hell am I gonna Benghazi my public health doctor. One low, loud, effing flyover delivered.
