This is important: reading mis/disinformation online can have REAL LIFE consequences. For example, and I'm very concerned this is going to escalate, fights are breaking out in stores across the country about people wearing a mask... (THREAD)
Like in Miami: "Maskless Publix Shopper Goes on Rant: "There's No Pandemic! Fuck You!"" @MiamiNewTimes https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/video-miami-publix-shopper-rants-about-masks-false-flag-pandemic-11634354
In Staten Island, NY: "Shoppers at Staten Island grocery store scream at woman for not wearing mask" @CBSNews https://www.cbsnews.com/news/shoppers-at-staten-island-grocery-store-scream-at-woman-for-not-wearing-mask-2020-05-25/
Another one in Florida: "Video shows a man screaming ‘fake pandemic’ at a Florida officer over wearing a mask in a grocery store" https://fox8.com/news/video-shows-a-man-screaming-fake-pandemic-at-a-florida-officer-over-wearing-a-mask-in-a-grocery-store/
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: It's not clear *why* some of these people were not wearing masks, but you can see how tense everyone is and how quickly things escalate and I'd be some of these folks read some bogus stuff online.
And with states like New York saying businesses can deny entry for people not wearing masks... https://patch.com/new-york/chappaqua/s/h4myj/ny-order-will-allow-businesses-to-deny-entry-for-not-wearing-mask?utm_source=alert-breakingnews&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alert
And Virginia, mandating people wear masks in public, indoor spaces https://www.foxnews.com/health/virginia-mandates-coronavirus-face-masks-as-state-sees-biggest-daily-spike-in-new-cases
I'm getting worried about where this is all going.
Reminder: you should wear a mask! That's the current guidance from CDC. Watch this recent fact-check from the @MediaWise Teen Fact-Checking Network.

Videos like that terrible Plandemic 'documentary' made bogus claims about stuff like the effectiveness wearing a mask... watch this fact-check video on that bit 4:30 into this video
