Have you noticed that the same conspiracy theorists...

... That object so much about mandatory face masks (like me) also object to facial recognition software throughout our cities (like me). Irony of ironies. *Sigh*

That made me smile backlit - not sure if it was meant to !!

I think it's as troubling as it is hilarious.

Two news stories from the German state of Baden-Württemberg have some irony when you put them together.

April 27, 2020 Coronavirus: Germany's new face mask regulations explained | DW | 27.04.2020

Generally, most states now require residents to wear face masks or coverings while in shops, grocery stores, and shopping malls, as well as on local public transportation.

Berlin is the only state where masks are not required in shops and supermarkets, but rather "strongly recommended."

For public transportation, the southern states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, and the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) as well as Berlin also require residents to wear masks at bus stops, train platforms and subway stations.​

What constitutes a face mask?

All of Germany's 16 states call for residents to wear "mouth-nose-protection" — the term is purposefully broad so that people who haven't been able to purchase or sew their own masks can still find a solution and continue to go grocery shopping.

Medical grade masks and homemade cloth masks are certainly welcome, but state authorities have also emphasized that simpler versions will also still be permitted.

Using a scarf, kitchen towel, or other type of sturdier cotton fabric are also perfectly acceptable alternatives. The most important thing is that the face and nose are properly covered.
​

Now for the irony:

July 21, 2020 German state bans burqas, niqabs in schools | DW | 21.07.2020

Baden-Württemberg will now ban full-face coverings for all school children. State Premier Winfried Kretschmann said burqas and niqabs did not belong in a free society. A similar rule for teachers was already in place.​

Yep, with respect to the nations who attempted to heal Babylon, they will raise up a shout of victory over those nations. Jer 51:14.

Have you noticed that now matching triangles can be obtained for face masks and beach wear?

@Sabertooth Kind of an extension to the triangle concept, I guess.

(Except most places that I have seen don't require outdoor masking...)
