I'm willing to the roll the dice. I'm not stopping living "because something might happen".
I could die tomorrow from a getting hit by a car or a gun shot. Seriously a million things could cause death. You wanna spend your life locked away. Enjoy it! I wont!
If you are willing to roll the dice this year, than so be it. However, if the experts are correct. When winter comes this year, the 2nd wave will kill much more people. It's already known that people who recovered from COVID19 can get sick again. Virus can stay dormant in the body when it can't replicate successfully. Once your body weakens during the winter it can come back. What I am worried about is the perfect storm this winter. The amount of people who recovered and will get sick again, the 2nd time it maybe fatal if people can't get medical attention in time. It is best to wait for the vaccines to be available by next year this time.

I get a bang out of people who wear a mask but not covering their noses.
N95 mask, actually called a respirator, filters 95% of smallest particles. "Surgical masks", the blue pleated ones, filter about 80%. Adding a folded kleenex between a surgical mask and face raises protection to 90%, so that is what I do.
I wear a mask when I'm inside a store as a curtesy to the workers and other shoppers. I do not wear one outside because I'm never around large crowds. I suppose if I was I wouldn't have a problem wearing one. I think that's pretty reasonable IMO. Not sure why people can't just make this small sacrifice regardless of what their views are on the subject matter.

"There will be a second wave, but the problem is to which extent. Is it a small wave or a big wave? It's too early to say," said Olivier Schwartz, head of the virus and immunity unit at France's Pasteur Institute.

That's how I feel about it but some think it sets a "dangerous precedent" to our "liberty". Who knows. Perhaps. I'm not looking forward to still having to wear one when out exercising or when the weather tops above 80 in high humidity.
