Wear the mask, indoors. Outside - no mask - unless pro sports actually returns with spectators. Then wear the mask - just like they did back during the Spanish Flu pandemic.

"Opinion" has no place in front or instead of public health knowledge and stats. I have an opinion about the weather, for example, but the science about it won't change no matter how I "feel" about it. It's not personal.

Ever heard of freedom of speech? Yes, I can voice my opinion on this issue as I don't necessarily believe all the propaganda that is being put out along with some truths.

Thanks for the balanced post.

In any case, I don't see most people supporting such a position anyway.
Wasn't it the Federal government that forced the states to raise the drinking age, lower the speed limit, and require seat belts? Well, the Federal government didn't exactly force the states, it just said that federal highways funds would be taken away if they did not comply.

BTW, this was your lesson of civics and federalism.

Trump is doing that now threatening states by withholding federal funds if they expand mail in voting. Somehow Trumpers are fine with that but not fine with Trump mandating masks.

Wanting or not is one thing. Prudence is another matter. Hell, I wish this world had nothing bad at all in it - not even pinpricks or paper cuts!! But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna defy good advice to keep myself from experiencing these things outside very good reasons to put up with them.

Same thing for masks. It's absurd to politicize the mask thing. How is putting on a mask going to hurt the quality of a person's shopping (yours or other people's)? Seriously!

I can tell you how not wearing one will hurt the quality of yours and others - namely by making it practically impossible and certainly unreasonable for you to shop at all. And where's your ability to contribute to economic growth then?
I don't think the issue is whether the mask is a good idea.
The issue is whether or not Americans want to wear a mask every time they are in public.
Because people do what they want.
And so far the mask-wearers are a small minority....
A huge majority of people are probably just banking on a vaccine, not planning to wear a mask in 2021.
