Very temperate and effective response!

Probably more useful than the response that I was thinking: “Are you just pretending to be that stupid or were you born that way?”

@pezmico When in fact, your kid is way more likely to have good breathing function for longer because of the mask.
Idiot. Sounds like you dealt with it perfectly.

@pezmico Does the NZ military really let any lunatic in, or is he just delusional?

@pezmico WTF?! I'm sorry this happened to you. I hope kiddo is okay.
What a warped rationale to claim being in the military meant they could challenge someone on their public health measures.

Kia kaha! 😷

@pezmico I'm sorry this happened. I hope your child wasn't too traumatized

@pezmico That would scare me. A lot. The worst that I've had to deal with is eye-rolling and "There's no reason to wear that," and no kids involved.

@pezmico The cooker also probably thinks that masks do nothing to keep out viruses.

A few years back a cheeky little nephew tried to have me on about how masks can't be any good because you can still smell farts through them. I did some back-of-an-envelope calcs and pointed out that a coronavirus is about a billion times the size of a molecule of fart gas (i.e. hydrogen sulphide).
