As if 2020 couldn’t get any more weird, the office of the Governor of California has specified that diners in restaurants should put their masks back on between bites. Call it what it is Covidiocy, cause it ain’t science. On the other hand, we get so much conflicting information from the “experts” that it’s difficult to know what is actually science based. Follow the science is more like follow the lemmings over the cliff. Mask on. Mask off. Repeat.
As Darleen wrote for Victory Girls, Mad King Gavin Newsom loves accumulating power through edicts:
It doesn’t matter to the King that thousands of restaurants have permanently closed, or that his Imperial Edicts are destroying the businesses, livelihoods and personal wealth of untold numbers of Californians. Newsom will not be deterred from fundamentally transforming California into a neo-feudal state. The Mad King has his own experts (imaginary or “owned”, who knows?) even science will not stand in his way.
On October 3, Mad King Newsom issued this edict:
Going out to eat with members of your household this weekend? Don't forget to keep your mask on in between bites.
Do your part to keep those around you healthy. #SlowtheSpreadhttps://t.co/snYe5v55Rw pic.twitter.com/Y4fcDO5Zke

It’s nearly impossible for the rational mind to process that kind of utter Covidiocy. Keep your mask on between bites, AND minimize the number of times you take your mask off. While you are eating and drinking! Oy vey.
Governor Mike Huckabee knows how people eat in the real world:
Gavin you’re a genius! Now explain how to eat BBQ ribs (KC Wet Style) and keep mask on between bites . Make a video for us like your pal DeBlabbio did! https://t.co/VUpQBk4UE3

Imagine, if you will, eating a quintessential California Cobb Salad. Even if you eat it with no dressing, way wrong, you pull your mask down take a bite and pull your mask back up. Little bits of bacon, hard boiled egg, and blue cheese are going to get on the inside of your mask. Fact. Now you are wearing a dirty mask, after the first bite. That is, assuming you have on a clean mask in the first place. Everyone I know keeps their dirty, disgusting masks hanging off of their rear view mirrors to virtue signal. Not me, I hang my dirty, disgusting masks on my turn signal lever.
So, after one bite, you are breathing germy food. Think that might have a deleterious effect on your health? It doesn’t matter to King Newsom. It only matters that you obey his bizarre proclamations. The California Globe curated some fun responses:
“Oh Glorious Leader @GavinNewsom, your text is contradictory to your graph. I can’t decide if you’re an evil genius trying to keep people in the dark and drive more businesses into the ground. Or if you’re really that stupid, though I’m leaning more towards this than the genius….”
“I literally tried this last night at home for a laugh. It was absolutely ridiculous taking it on and off for bites. Omg we laughed so hard. I know newsom isn’t doing this 😭“
“He sure makes it tempting to leave this state!”
“…and then wash your hands when you put the mask back on again, then remove the mask for each bite, then wash your hands again, but remember to pull down the mask so the wait-person can be reassured by your smile or frown regarding the quality of service, and then wash your hands again, but if your smile exposed your teeth then wash your hands and brush your teeth, replace the mask and wash your hands again…”
“And be sure to wear it in your electric cars. lol.”
“In between bites? Every time? Bite me.”
Here is a clue: You all elected him! You lose. But, even worse, Powergrabbing Gavin says that you should do this with members of your own household. He also wants you to wear it anytime you are outside of your home. Of course, this is the same Governor who encouraged Californians to buy electric cars and then cut the electricity.
Here, as a Victory Girls public service, is the proper way to handle masks and gloves:
Me, I have serious doubts about whether masks, as the general public wears them, have any efficacy. I wear a mask at the grocery store because people are gross. There are also the shamers and I don’t feel like fighting. Depleting my bail money account over a mask just isn’t worth it.
I guaran-damn-tee you I won’t be putting my mask on between bites at a restaurant.

“Let’s Go Out To Eat! (2020 Style)”
1.Arrive at restaurant, fish three month old single-use surgical mask out
of car’s filthy cupholder (still slightly sticky from this morning’s
84oz diet Pepsi).
2. Strap up with three month old single-use surgical mask.
*MAGICAL ANTI-GERM BARRIER ENGAGE!!!*
3. Proceed into restaurant, opening door with same handle grabbed by 200 people so far today.
4.Hostess has immediate seating for your woke party of three. Walk past
entire restaurant of unmasked people. It’s ok, they’re sitting.
5. Sit down.
*SEATED ANTI-GERM FORCEFIELD ENGAGE!!!*
6.Safely within your anti-germ forcefield, remove mask. Browse menu while
making relaxed inhales of the same recirculated AC air previously
inside the lungs of the 200 people that also grabbed the door handle.
7. Waitress drops off drinks bare handed.
8. Grab drink with your bare hand. Sip leisurely, secure in knowing you’re within your anti-germ forcefield of seatedness.
9. Too many drinks. Need to pee. Don the magical anti-germ barrier mask as you leave your anti-germ forcefield of seatedness.
10. Walk past 40 unmasked restaurant patrons. Open bathroom with same door knob grabbed by 100 other people so far today.
11. Return to table past same 40 unmasked restaurant patrons.
12.Remove mask. Once again safe in your anti-germ forcefield of
seatedness. Waitress takes your sweaty drink glass with her bare hand,
refills, hands back to you. You accept with your bare hand. Grab some
bread and eat it. Same hand. Yum Yum.
13.Meal complete. Mask on. Walk past 40 unmasked patrons. Make full body
contact with at least 4 people waiting at the hostess stand as you
squeeze your way back to the door – no matter, they’re all also wearing
their magical anti-germ barriers.
14. Grab exit handle, which you are now the 220th person of the day to touch. Eating out successful.
15.Breathe a sigh of relief knowing that even after leaving the protection
of your home and venturing out into the scary world of the public, you
are essentially sterile thanks to your state approved methods of magical
germ mitigation.”
Scott says: Ok Robin, you win the interwebz for the day! That was truly epic!
Robin H says: I heartily admit that I stole it from someone else, but yes, it’s pretty epic! Hubby and I have added “anti germ forcefield of seatedness” to our everyday language. Feel free to pass it on to others!
Toni Williams says: Robin H –
anti germ forcefield of seatedness. epic!
Scott says: Consider it done
GWB says: 7. Waitress drops off drinks bare handed.
Well, admittedly, if she were wearing gloves, it wouldn’t be any different. Unless she were literally shedding her gloves and donning new ones between picking up your drinks and dropping them off, then again between your table and the next one where she’s dropping off some drinks, then again once she returns to the bar to pick up more drinks….
And you TOTALLY forgot the part about washing your hands in the bathroom where you have to touch the faucet handle with both clean and dirty hands.
Also, when was the last time you encountered a handle for exit?
Robin H says: Someone could do a whole ‘nuther list for gloves. I see them wearing gloves and touching everything with them. Do they think the virus is absorbed through the skin?
I once watched a woman in the ladies room use a wad of toilet paper to open her stall door and turn on the faucet. She washed and dried without touching the handles, wadded up her paper towel, threw it in the trash can and grabbed the door handle to go out. I nearly died of laughter. This was years ago before the cooties. She’d be wearing gloves.
Milton Poindexter says: All of those No Guns signs seem perfectly effective. Can’t they just put up a No Germs sign and call it good?
GWB says: Unfortunately, since the virus is Chinese, it’s a minority, and we know that minorities can’t read in racist America. So it totally wouldn’t work.
Unbelievable. Newsome in CA and DiBlah in NYC are complete clowns. There are some sane voices out there. As of this writing, more than 12 thousand scientists, doctors, and medical practitioners have signed a petition against coronavirus lockdown measures, urging that those not in the at risk category should be able to get on with their lives as normal, and that lockdown rules in both the US and UK are causing ‘irreparable damage’.
The Great Barrington Declaration is worth a look. I signed it. And now you can tell the masktards to follow the SCIENCE! and give them this:

Wfjag says: Why not wear a mask? The BLM-Antifa brats are going to show up and eat it off your plate anyway.
Scott says: Kinda makes the case for keeping some syrup of Ipecac with you.. if ya see em coming and eating / drinking other peoples stuff, dose yours with it, then sit back and watch the fun…
GWB says: As if 2020 couldn’t get any more weird
OK, can we please stop saying this?! Murphy takes it as a challenge!
Toni Williams says: GWB- noted.
I meant you eat the concoction off of your fork and pull up your mask, even if you use your napkin first, bits of the concoction are bound to get in your mask.
I always use my turn signals. I have not yet had the six or seven masks fall off.

GWB says: LOL
GWB says: Little bits of bacon, hard boiled egg, and blue cheese are going to get on the inside of your mask.
Eeeeewwwwww! Maybe you should wear a mask if you’re spewing little bits of food while you chew!
(I actually hope you mean from the fork and off your lips.)
Not me, I hang my dirty, disgusting masks on my turn signal lever.
Evidently because you never signal. (Because it would slide off onto the floor if you signaled a left turn.) 😉
I know newsom isn’t doing this
Yep! Just like Pelosi isn’t wearing a mask in places of business. (Unless she knows there’s a camera, of course.)
Here is a clue: You all elected him!
Yep. And there’s the problem with everyone leaving the state. They aren’t fixing anything, they’re just leaving their old midden for a new one to be built somewhere else. They drag along their California voting and turn the new pleasant meadow into a stinky old s**thole just like the last one.
I have serious doubts about whether masks, as the general public wears them, have any efficacy.
Well, as I’ve said plenty: if you are shedding a large viral load, the mask is bound to reduce the amount that makes it out into the breathable space of your fellow citizens. And viral load is what infects other people. (Meaning a tiny amount of virus is mostly harmless, but a LOT of it is more likely to make you sick.) It can also help reduce any viral load you might be breathing in (it’s going to catch some, at a minimum).
But, yeah, that assumes the person is actually shedding virus, and it assumes everyone is wearing their mask over their mouth and nose. Universal mask mandates are another version of universal lockdowns – not nearly as effective as actual quarantines (just applied to the sick).
