Covid-19 masks are not oppression
There are much bigger things to worry about — but please wear a mask as advised voluntarily — or they’ll force us to, warns TESS DELANEY

WHEN is a mask not a mask? When it’s a means of oppression. At least, that’s what some would have you think.

If you were four years old and you kept running into the road, and your mum said, “Stop dearie, that’s dangerous, you could be run over or cause an accident where others could get hurt,” yet you persisted in running into the road, shouting, “I won’t do what you tell me, oppressor” — then every onlooker would describe you as a little sh*t.

They’d call your mother an epic fail. Good for you, making your mum look bad.
