Because they have the sense to know the numbers don't justify the overblown paranoia in most places and it's a manipulation to keep people in a siege mentality until the election, preferably with mail in ballots to make typically leftwing voter fraud easier.

When all is said and done, and they've figured out where most of the transmissions happened, I'm betting the key factor will be overcrowded housing. I look at the zip codes in NYC where it hit the hardest, and it's in the neighborhoods were you'd expect people to be illegal packed into also illegally subdivided housing.
Lisbon just had a big spike and it is in their overcrowded public housing with multi-generational families that are low information and restless youths. Lethal combo. Authorities are trying to get a grip on it now, but the the less educated refuse to wear them.

It's the same all over the world, sigh.

We're doing the same as you. Breezy outdoor settings, no mask. But if the trail or street narrows and I can't distance, on goes the mask. Inside anywhere, masks are required.

Asia is the complete opposite and all comply with wearing masks, thus have low covid problems and minimal deaths while able to open economy back up...

Ironically enough, those that resist wearing masks are most likely to benefit the rest of society by covering up their unpleasant looking faces.

Wearing a mask violates my constitutional right and as such I refuse to give it up for short term security.

What constitutional right is that?

I hope wearing pants doesn't violate your constitutional right...

The mask has never been personal protection but for the protection of others.

Only a selfish dumbazz put's his personal comfort at greater import than the safety of others.

Warning to everyone; the bridge ahead is out - Americans you are "free" to proceed regardless.

Morons.
I have no desire to protect others. People that believe this virus is serious should take precaution which they feel are need to stay healthy. That can includes staying at home and even putting blanket over their head.
