"Something's making these people sick, and I'm pretty sure that it's not coronavirus," board member Allen Banks told medical professionals who testified. "So the question that you should be asking is, 'What's making them sick?'"

"Board member Walt Kirby said he was giving up on the idea of controlling the spread of coronavirus.

"I personally do not care whether anybody wears a mask or not. If they want to be dumb enough to walk around and expose themselves and others, that's fine with me," Kirby said. "Nobody's wearing the damned mask anyway. ... I'm sitting back and watching them catch it and die. Hopefully I'll live through it."

Another member, Allen Banks, denied COVID-19 exists.

"Something's making these people sick, and I'm pretty sure that it's not coronavirus, so the question that you should be asking is, 'What's making them sick?'" he told the medical professionals who testified."

    I wear a mask every day at work. So many customers don't. Our governor said we'd go back to stage 4 if we started getting more cases. The news and current case count have determined that was a lie.

    I'm either gonna get the rona or not. Honestly, at this point my personal conspiracy theory is that all of us "essential workers" are basically Typhoid Marys. We've been exposed to so many variants of the virus that we're all carrying at least one strain. Add low grade illness to the daily stress of dealing with assholes who are even bigger assholes than normal lately, and it would help explain why all the retail workers I know are so burnt out lately. :party-parrot-mask:
