So please tell me how long we all have to wear masks to wipe all viruses and disease from the face of the earth. Why has no one thought of this before?

maybe the almighty fauci has announced this and I missed it.

Not just since Covid but it seems to go up every year along with everything else.

You’re right

They don’t get it. I was in S Korea when SARS was a problem in Asia in 2002-2003. I never got tested but I was as sick as I have ever been. They all wear masks over there especially through the winter months. Doesn’t change a thing.

I just have a question. For you guys that say no one has a right to put you in danger, do you stop people from smoking on the street? Texting while driving? Driving at all? Unless you are a complete hermit, what you do affects other people every day, whether you mean to or not. I breathe in your second hand smoke, drive on the same road as you, lots of other examples. You can't change what other people do but you can change your reaction to it

Says right in the article that it doesn’t stop the spread. Thanks for proving my point.

I’m not saying I have done any of it. I don’t even like going out to eat, rarely drink etc.. Work, getting groceries, feed store and haircuts has pretty much been all I’ve done since March. The fact still remains that nobody should be allowed to push their beliefs on other people for the sake of their own well being.

Is it wrong to want a mandate that keeps more people from dying? As @ChocolateMouse said, that’s what laws are for.

 

[tripletfeb]

And telling people that do not agree with you, they are horrible humans is not right either. We are all on this planet together, lets be nice

Clearly you just want other people to take care of you. . It’s laughable.

I want people to not kill me and that's a REALLY reasonable ask.

Oh wait, murder is legal because murdering me might benefit someone else and we can't make laws that stop people from doing what benefits them even if it hurts other people for some reason????

Seriously. genuinely. What do you think the purpose of laws are? What do you think they're there for? Like... By your logic I can steal from you without legal consequences because it's what's best for me. Like, you DO know that laws are there to limit peoples behavior, right? Even when it doesn't benefit those people?

Well, it sounds like you're mocking the man with the most experience with pandemics in the whole country... But sure I'll humor you.

Masks and handwashing alone reduce transmition by around 80%. So it wouldn't wipe it out entirely, but it would reduce it greatly.
Additionally not every virus is prevented by masks. Many are and in places with high mask compliance there's an extremely notable reduction in virus spread. And not JUST covid but also things like norovirus. Regular flu counts are DOWN this year because of increased mask wearing.

But I know you're going to just dismiss that because you asked in bad faith... So how about like $150 on amazon prime for a remote grocery trip instead. It'd be SO much more meaningful if you suffered from your actions instead of me.

If I get COVID the first thing I’m doing is going to a no-mask protest. (Kidding).

And people go to jail or get fines for all those things where I live. In fact driving itself just using a car requires fees and licenses and insurance because it's so dangerous. Do they not where you live?

I'd be 100% OK with going out unmasked being treated like driving.
