A mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world.

When I pointed this out to a co-worker a week or two ago his basic reasoning that this was just fine, debated back with a straight face and in all seriousness as if we were discussing the data results from a test done was that we can see shooters so training for an incident is legit, we can’t see virus so we don’t even know if it is there or if a mask does any good. Being in a work environment I had to remain respectful and professional, so after picking my jaw up off the floor I respectfully disagreed and left it at that. However again I was struck by the fact I have known this person for 10 yrs. I have been in many many mtgs with him to discuss results of an experiment and determine next steps. I never had any inclination this was how he viewed this subject. It’s like Jeckyll & Hyde…now that I have seen the other side of this person I will never think of him in the same way I have since mtg him.
