People Throwing Tantrums About Face Masks Get Edited Into A “Parks And Rec” Town Hall Meeting

Those who remember the TV series “Parks And Recreation” should know very well what the iconic town hall scenes were all about. Let me remind you real quick. From a lady complaining over a sammich found at the park which didn’t have mayo to a guy demanding more benches at a park ’cause he’d like to sit more, the locals of Pawnee were notorious for raging over quite absurd things.

But truth is stranger than fiction. You see, when residents of Palm Beach County, Florida blew up over a mandatory mask policy at a county commission meeting, it all just clicked. “We’re officially living in a Parks and Rec episode,” tweeted Lawrence Sharma with an absurdist video mashup showing the Palm Beach meeting as if it was a Pawnee town hall.

As you’d expect, the internet went crazy about it, and honestly, it’s hard to believe statements like “I don’t wear a mask for the same reason I don’t wear underwear: Things gotta breathe” weren’t scripted.

Last Tuesday, residents of Palm Beach County, Florida gathered at a county commission meeting to voice their displeasure over a new mandatory mask policy. The original footage of the fiery debate can be watched here.

Among many arguments laid out against mandatory mask policy, some included: “You literally cannot mandate somebody to wear a mask knowing that that mask is killing people,” and “They want to throw God’s wonderful breathing system out the door. You’re all turning your backs on it.”

People on Twitter soon shared their disbelief over just how similar the whole debate was to that portrayed in NBC’s comedy TV show “Parks and Recreation.” The mockumentary from the creators of “The Office” aired from April 9, 2009 to February 24, 2015, for 125 episodes, over seven seasons and gained a cult following. On Rotten Tomatoes, the show scored 93% and got 89% as an average audience score.

If you don't wear a mask in public, you're basically saying you don't care one bit about others. The mask is to protect them from you. millions of us who feel "fine" could be asymptomatic carriers. That's why people should just mask up, and quit being babies about it. We don't have a vaccine, and likely won't for at least a year or so.

They're basically saying they don't value their own lives. We can't fix the stupids. Can we? Psalms 91. I just thought to add that because I like to share it with people. Basically at the moment..... Be Still, as God says to be.

Asymptomatic transmission refers to transmission of the virus from a person, who does not develop symptoms. There are few reports of laboratory-confirmed cases who are truly asymptomatic, and to date, there has been no documented asymptomatic transmission.

The hill that some people want to die on... Of all the causes to pick, the right to infect oneself and others shouldn't be the one.
