How should Christians respond to mask mandates?

Victoria seems to be improving in their number of cases, at least that is what the news is saying.

I didnt know that. Still it must be the only place that has. I think Australia has had more than enough problems recently than to worry about the wearing of face shields.

???...

those cases are actually the flu and common cold. The test cant tell the difference until the person is actually sick. Hence the term case, and not covid19. They are pretty loose with the truth. Also the deaths are old people with bad immune systems and underlying health issues. The premier in Victoria is a communist. Its well know within political circles here. Victoria signed up the Belt and road initiatives with China, thats where all there money is coming from, borrowed from China. I havent fact checked this, but I did read that the chief health minister in Victoria is also compromised.

The reliability of COVID-19 tests is uncertain due to the limited evidence base. Available evidence mainly comes from symptomatic patients, and their clinical role in detecting asymptomatic carriers is unclear. PCR tests are currently considered to be more clinically sensitive than serology assays for detecting early infections and, because they directly detect viral RNA, they are an indicator for viral shedding. The extent to which a positive PCR result correlates with the infectious state of an individual is still being determined. https://www.tga.gov.au/covid-19-testing-australia-information-health-professionals

And, most likely because they are "the better/best alternative" - right?

because your facial expressions etc can be seen with them, satan doesn't wan that, he wasn't us expressionless, and lacking any individualism.

Also - because it simply robs us of that basic level of communication that comes from the exchange of facial expressions - a smile, etc.

The fact that face shields (assuming they allow you to breath properly) would be banned while cloth coverings (which are thought/known to have negative impact upon breathing) are "pushed" (while known to be ineffective at least for the most part) - is a bit "telling", is it not...?

Though I must say, since I am in a place that has for the time made mask mandatory, I have REALLY come to tell a persons expression based on their eyes/eye contact, etc. Look carefully enough when someone smiles behind that mask and you see the rest of their face light up (eyes brighten, cheeks lifted....), someone mad: eyes darkened, brows furrowed......

Yes, it does tend to make you focus more on the eyes...

Has it ever occured to anyone that Satan wants as many unsaved dead as possible so
spreading the idea that Covid 19 doesnt exist is a good way to set about doing it. It
is a variation of an old trick where he convinces people that he doesnt exist either.

I voted other. And this is my explanation to the question, how should Christians respond to mask mandates. (Mandate, not a law) With a sense of humor! Given a lot of this fear nonsense is being perpetrated by the donkey party.

And when I'm in the mood to add my tee shirt that I had made. "Doing my part to comply with the mask mandate" , written on both sides, I wear this. I did consider buying a burka, wearing the lower half only so that my body is masked too. But then I thought, you do want to live to make it to your car after you go shopping, right? So I nixed the idea. Radicals come in all shapes and sizes.

I have cartoon character surgical masks too.

I would think the Satanic influence arrives when we learn we can't trust the reports of the number of people who died due to Covid 19, nor can we trust the numbers reported of people who test positive.

If this virus is all that, lying about any of its statistics isn't necessary. But lying about any of those tells me this whole thing is a lie.

Years ago there was a movie, I think it was called, The Enemy Within. Anyway, a synopsis of the film. There was this covert plan to dominate all of America under a national martial law order. And one of the main characters, an advisor for that effort, asked how they imagined if this order was decreed that soldiers would comply with the order to arrest family members and friends.

And the answer came as, it will work if we tell them lives depend on compliance. This threat threatens lives. Then the military will be happy to arrest their family and friends when they think doing so saves lives.

I don't think any of us are going to be prepared for whats next as far as the, you gotta be kidding me! What? Factor.
Who saw the lie about a coin shortage coming? Oh, and due to the virus. But here it is.

Just blame the virus. I went to Popeye's Chicken to get a chicken sandwich meal, their sandwich is so good! And had a coupon to boot. The guy at the drive-thru said, we don't accept coupons! The virus! Really? These just came in the mail the day before!
But saying that, the franchise owner got the full price for the meal, not the discounted one the coupon would allow.

Any excuse just use , the virus, and it works.

Hitler referred to himself as a Social Democrat. Once at a meeting of what would become the Nazi party later on, Adolf H. told someone there about his politics. He said he leaned toward Socialism but a version that took on the identity of a National Social Democracy.

Check out the book, Hitler Democrat. It was written by General Leon Degrelle of the Waffen-SS.

I've spoken with people who see this virus as being politicized. They think what's coming is a dictatorship, or a national Martial Law decree. But I think Covid 19 is letting us see the very subtle and global rise of Authoritarianism.
And while it is happening we're being told, it's to keep us safe!

Can't help it. That sign on the front of the podium reminds me of the signs behind the scenes when the Roddy Piper character was wearing the special glasses that let him see the truth, in the movie, They Live.

I have often thought of wearing my sons Star Wars character mask into stores (the ones with the voice box that makes you sound like the character) after all, my mouth and nose would be covered.

Mask no problem.
But as now “no mask no buy” it’ll graduate to “no mark no buy”. Because people are liberated souls, you just can’t force change unto them. It needs to come graduale.

I’m taking my chances on living in segregation hoping I can dodge this coming insanity. But where can we go? Every region has been infected by the great wonderful ideas politicians forced on to the European pepole.

Go for it, it's fun. Might as well have a good time and bring a chuckle to others during this thing. Especially the voice part in your mask. I love that. "Can I have an extra bag please?" "Do you accept coupons?"

There are those type mask signs in stores here now. No mask no service.

My next purchase is going to be something fans of GOT will recognize.

By the by, has anyone seen a large can of Lysol disinfecting spray for sale anywhere in their area? Haven't seen one of those in my hood for months.

One problem I have in believing its all a plot is that I have relatives who work in Hospitals with Covid 19 patients My Sister in Law a senior Nurse has to strip off and wash her clothes when she returns home and keep apart from my Brother in law in their house. If this virus is all a lie is she and other relatives liars? Are they performing some kind of deception day in and out? How many times has this happened with ordinary Flu epidemics. Its all very well pontificating about sinister plots when you have no first hand experience or you know someone who had it and was fortunate to only have mild symptoms.
