what's the likelihood you'll succumb to SARS 2.0 due to the fella without a neck gaiter, handkerchief, mask, or various macgyver style face covering?

Would you be willing to admit after careful consideration you're moreso in a state of compliance over health?
I'm not sure what your post is saying.
I'm all for wearing masks in indoor settings, but not outdoors where I think it's government overreach.
My point was, why are two guys not wearing masks, not being thrown out of the store.

Because I think many businesses disagree with the mask mandate but have to put up the signs to stay compliant. Ive been in many stores where I see masks are required but than even the employees arent wearing them correctly. They arent going to enforce it if they dont believe in it. I do comply with the signs, however, once inside, if others are walking around without masks, I take mine off as well.

Admiral Brett Giroir , Trump’s Covid task force, is making the rounds on the news shows.

He reconfirmed Trump and anyone with close proximity to him is tested daily.

He is strongly encouraging the public to mask up as the best way to prevent the spread.

Seems to me many private businesses prefer to avoid putting their employees in situations of conflict with the general public.

A man in my local grocer was not wearing a mask. Cashier declined to ring up his beer purchase. Guy became very agitated and loud. He had some choice words for the cashier and onlookers and sprayed visible spital. Then he threw the beer on the floor and stormed out the door.

Our choices either protect others or put others at increased risk......

Asymptomatic people typically don’t know they are infected. And some are super spreaders.

Those with confirmed diagnosis are not forced to isolate/ quarantine. Anecdotal evidence suggests some seem to have a mistaken belief it is their duty to infect others to do their part to achieve herd immunity. Then again, people tend to rationalize their behaviors.

Seems to me most people understand the risks associated with smoking. Federal, state, county and local laws regulate and ban smoking in most places. And for the most part, the public complies. Nothing factual suggests a one off casual contact with someone’s second- hand smoke causes Cancer.

Given only 15% of US people smoke most patrons would be outraged if someone chose to light up in a Smoke Free restaurant or bar.

Interesting that NFL is fining coaches $100,000 for taking off their masks to shout.

Do they really believe its important? Do they think it might be important and don't want to take a chance? Or are they like Democratic politicians and its all theater to keep the Karens happy?

Apparently most of the people who have gotten violently ill, hospitalized and/or died, were part neanderthal. You can't make this **** up. So unless you are part neanderthal then you should be good.

I didn't read the whole thread so someone may have already mentioned that the governor of PA at an event was on a hot mic and talked about mask wearing as 'theater.'
