I agree, we do need to open but people are dying because they refuse to follow the recommendations of medical authorities. Some refuse to wear masks and masks provide protection to others-not to the wearer. I guess we can't mandate that everyone wear a mask because the courts will side with the one that doesn't until enough people have died. I'm not an economist but it looks like lives or money-which is the most important? Both my wife and I wear a mask on our infrequent but rushed visits to the grocery store. We're in and out as quickly as possible.

You say "until enough people have died"...... How is it that a lot of people aren't wearing masks or wearing garbage cloth masks and the census in hospitalizations is going down?

You think everything related to virus infection rate is related to whether or not everyone or some or most or none wear a mask, or no mask or N95 mask or whatever? Every fecking Tom, Dick and Harry out there wants to oversimplify an incredibly complex, evolving and still poorly-understood situation to fit their particular narrative or personal bias. Every. One.

The only, and I do mean ONLY thing you can count on out there is that most of them are full of sh|t.

Nope, that's not what I said. However, I'm being preached to here constantly as if it's a HUGE factor so I'm asking a simple question. ESPECIALLY, when they want a mandate passed to make me wear a mask. My only narrative is that this virus as been shown that it's not the end of the world, in lieu of what the fear factory is making out to be.

Made me think of this guy's mostly-comedy monologue:

NSFW language.

He really is spot on on just about everything. I will say that pertaining with this board and my experiences, I have yet to see anybody berating others for wearing a mask. Seems a lot of people that don't wear them just want to be left alone, in contrast to preaching to others.

Well, there are medical personnel, Mayors, Doctors (that's medical personnel) corporate CEO's etc saying that we should wear masks in their commercial enterprises, but I take the word of medical authorities that say we should. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd much rather be safe than sorry.

And all those people are about preventing liability as much as preventing disease.
