John Mulaney and Kate McKinnon in the February 26 episode of "Saturday
Night Live." (Screenshot from YouTube)
The best Saturday Night Live sketches feel like funhouse-mirror versions
of real life—echoes of conversations or situations we've experienced,
but with comedic exaggerations. I mean, who hasn't seen lobster on a
menu in a diner and wondered: "Why?"
The best sketch in last night's show, hosted by former SNL writer and
recently out-of-rehab standup superstar John Mulaney, is a perfect
example. It could have been yanked out of probably thousands of
conversations around the country this week after the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) finally loosened their guidelines for
masking—guidelines that have been used to justify all sorts of local and
state polices that often make little sense. Like, say, the rules in D.C.
and several other major cities requiring you to wear a mask to enter a
restaurant even though you're going to take it off as soon as you sit
down to eat.
That's where the sketch begins, with six friends gathered for dinner.
One of them, Keenan Thompson, is still wearing his mask when we join the
group mid-conversation. After he removes it, fellow diner Heidi Gardner
cautiously mentions an article she'd read suggesting that "mask mandates
had, I don't know, little to no effect on COVID."
"It's not like I'm anti-mask or anything," Gardner quickly clarifies, "I
just sometimes wonder if any of the things we did actually helped."
That sets off a chain reaction around the table, with each member of the
group rest of the table reacting in exaggerated, GIF-tastic
horror—before slowly, even painfully admitting that they, too, are
questioning the effectiveness of the pandemic theater that we've endured
over the past two years.
It's an unexpectedly subversive sketch from a show that rarely aims its
fire these days at the liberal political consensus. It's five minutes of
saying aloud thoughts that a lot people have been condemning as off-limits.
Kate McKinnon's character is "personally so relieved to be vaccinated"
but then wonders aloud whether those who are vaccine-hesitant might not
have a valid reason for refusing the shot? Mulaney timidly suggests that
maybe "we"—read: the show's liberal audience—have been too quick to
demand that the unvaccinated lose their jobs and get shunned from public
life.
From there, it becomes a rapid-fire unraveling of the logic behind much
of what's happened in the past year. Outdoor dining? "Oh, you mean when
they built a smaller restaurant in the street, how is that outdoors?"
asks Mulaney. The CDC's ever-changing and confusing guidance? "When I
make a mistake at work, I don't get to say 'the science changed,'"
complains Thompson.
But it's McKinnon who delivers the final blow with a long story about
how she attended a child's birthday party in which all the kids were
masked while doing gymnastics—and then took off the masks to eat pizza.
"So did they really need the mask?" she says, looking like she's about
to vomit simply by stating the question out loud. "Did any of us ever
need the mask?"
These are, of course, questions that a lot of us have been asking for
months, even years. And while masking in some circumstances helps slow
the spread of coronaviruses, it's also true that mask mandates are
mostly about virtue signaling and haven't been shown to work. As
McKinnon points out, there's little logic behind masking in some
settings and then immediately unmasking in the same setting. And
officials' disregard for their own COVID policies has only further
demonstrated how silly many of these rules were in the first place.
Good on SNL for telling viewers that it's fine to question, and to laugh
at, all this.

U.S. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://bit.ly/convince_it_forward (John
15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids that render current COVID
vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?
