Masks are a statewide requirement here but not enforced and about 95 percent of people wear when going in stores and other public buildings and maybe 30 percent of people wear them in public parks. I heard that in other states, not wearing a mask is a huge political statement and it's a "thing" not to wear one. Some just say it's too uncomfortable. I think we should make masks highly recommended but we can't force people to wear one or fine them for not wearing one. This political thing has got to stop but if it's extremely uncomfortable for you or you have a medical reason you can't wear one, the other 95 percent of people wearing masks at the store should prevent Covid from spreading as easily as it does in states where "no masks" are the thing.

Not seeing the benefits of having something as simple as wearing masks in public mandated during a global health pandemic is stupid as hell, as it turning a health issue into something political.

95% of the population wearing surgical face masks in Taiwan saved its economy from meltdown. Restoring America’s battered economy by the simple act of wearing a medical-grade face mask in public is the least any patriotic American should do.

What’s stupid as hell is simply taking responsibility for your own actions. If you don’t want to go outdoors, stay the hell home.

Only stupid people can’t mandate themselves.

Not wearing a mask shows how little you care about your fellow human beings.
Uh, promoting upending up and no mask etc has not resulted in anything. Show me where thousands of people who went to his rally last weekend and now how the virus, and I will believe you. If we do not hear that they all got the virus, I guess Trump is right, yet again as he always is. Most of this is fake news. Close down the world economy. They are trying to ruin Trumps amazing economy that he built up himself. Not gonna work. No one ever in world history ever shut down a country no matter how bad the virus. Never. Little bit overreaching, no?

It'll be a refreshing change to have a president who's willing to lead.

A president who will genuinely care about America's public health.

Instead of an ignorant weakling.

Trump has done nothing? In January, he banned all flights from China while Joe called him xenophobic and racist and Pelosi went to China town to show how safe it was. Looks like Trump is the only one who did anything and he did it very quickly.

Trump has literally done nothing but make excuses like "It'll all 'disappear like magic'", "If we didn't do so much testing there would be no cases".

He's a blithering moron of epic proportions. It's all about 'him'- the big baby in chief. Good riddance to rubbish.

Flush the TURD on November 3rd!!!

Did it literally say that, and only that? I will provide a link to his website, as it appears right now, to let people see what it says:
