I'm not sure why you repeatedly choose the word 'scared'...that's a mis-characterization. But anyway, I'm good with this thread.

A lot of these people walking around without masks are itching for a fight.

Best to just shun them and stay away. America has a lot of crazy armed people.

Because going to the horses mouth is the best way to find the information one is looking for, especially since it sounds like everyone here wears a mask.

Interesting. I'll post a poll.


Crap, thought I could post a poll, but I guess you can't on here.

The best way to try to change ones mind is to try to educate them.

You’re right about that, just look at Chicago.

I like Chicago a lot. Used to go out there once a year until the current problems and found a nice bed and breakfast on Morgan by where the Sox play to stay. Never felt unsafe there. Walked everywhere and took transit.

Yep, everyone has a different standard of living. Another place, however, I couldn’t be paid to live.

To be honest you probably couldn’t afford to live there, a stone townhouse in Bridgeport starts at $385k last I checked and the prices go up from there. Housing in desirable areas isn’t as cheap as it is in a remote rust belt exurb.

Checkout the graph showing the divergence in infections from May 15 forward, the date on which AZ opened wide, and NM put on the brakes.

To say that a face covering doesn't have any use is totally disingenuous. Even if it is not functioning at its optimal limits. Remember, this is all (still) about preserving the healthcare system and keeping it a safe distance from the breaking point. Do yourself a favor and watch the Frontline documentary on the peak of infections in Italy. Doctors actually had to make choices about whether they should admit an 85 year old or a 35 year old with severe disease because they reached their limit. Guess who they chose? Over time, those age spans would get smaller and smaller as resources dwindled. If we don't slow the first wave NOW, before the next flu season, It isn't hard to imagine these kind of choices being made in hospitals in the US between 25 year olds and a 65 year olds. Not to mention the horrible toll taken on people by all the delayed treatments, surgeries, chemo, etc.
