Most are simply sheep that will believe any bullshit, so called leaders, pronounce! We are killing our planets as we worry about a flu virus using the very same means of so called personal protective gear, to further exasperate every other pollutant we throw around! Ashamed to actually belong to this two legged species!&lt;/p&gt;

Does it even surprise anyone on this site? I see discarded masks everywhere! I also thought I spotted a few brains...probably discarded due to lack of use!&lt;/p&gt;

Does no one see the hypocrisy in this? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We visit our kids in Washington and see numerous masks littering the streets...where are the biohazard containers, if this is so deadly? Mind you, Washington is a very “environmentally aware” state, supposedly 🙄&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Leave it to humans to continue the degradation of earth.  Not to worry, our pro-active, forward thinking politicians and experts will save us by colonizing the moon and mars where we will live perfectly this time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have so much debris in space circling the earth that NASA instructs astronauts to steer clear of it because of collision dangers.&lt;/p&gt;
