    Holy lost merch opportunity, Batman! Our household needs to order more face masks and out of curiosity I went to the online stores for Yes, King Crimson, Genesis and Rush. Not one of them is selling branded face masks!
    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    Crimson was definitely selling the schizoid face at one point in time. I imagine it sold quickly.

    But yes...I'm amazed at how few companies are jumping on the bandwagon here.
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    Sports teams caught on early. My husband and I have Leafs masks and Toronto Rock (lacrosse) masks. My brother has Raptors and TFC (soccer/football depending on where you live).

    This country needs to change it's name to Crazytown. I've never seen anything remotely like what is happening today, and I saw 1968.

    I agree. Yesterday I saw a news story about the school reopenings, and someone in charge at a school said "Our highest priority is education." Shouldn't the highest priority be the health of students and faculty and staff? Unless educating the dead is an option.

    Not to mention the kids' parents and grandparents, to whom the kids will be taking home the virus.

    C'mon....its the greatest country in the world!! That's what they always tell us, right? I'm confident it would make the top 75 or so...maybe 74ish?

    Greatest country I've lived in.

    Why do we confuse greatest with most wealth and most militarized?

    The USA is indeed exceptional, if success in combating Covid is calculated like a golf score.

    If you could cure it on a golf course we would have zero deaths, but as we heard and saw last night there is zero recognition of the disease or the devastation it has caused. Last night looked like the Sturgis biker rally in tuxedos and formal gowns. We as a country right now are totally screwed for lack of focus and acknowledgement of the problem. I give my most heart filled sympathy to parents and grandparents with school aged children who are forced to go back to school without some form of vaccine.

    ^^ You may or may not have heard about a school district on the outskirts of the Phoenix area, who decided they were going to reopen for in person classes. More than 100 teachers called out sick, so classes had to be cancelled. In an interview, one of the parents demanded teachers either do their job, or resign. He should be careful what he wishes for...that's an ultimatum teachers would be more than willing to take him up on.
