Except the science doesn't say that, in fact it says the opposite.

There is a HUGE difference between WWII and what is happening now. In WWII you could still meet with people, still go to church, children were still in school. Supplies were rationed so everyone had access. And no one dictated what you put on your face.

The last pandemic was over 100 years ago. What is requested of you is not such a big deal for the health and safety of your fellow Americans. If it wasn't for this President and his stupid polarization of this issue we would not even be having this conversation.


Remember he said everyone would stop talking about Covid on Nov 4 - well ? Did that happen ? No because it's real and it's serious and it doesn't care about politics - 250K dead Americans IS a big deal.

Oh, trust me, I know that full well. I am all for our personal liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. However, soon that won't matter because I do not see many if any folks in this transition that care one whit about the Constitution.

Mask mandates have zero to do with the Constitution. They do not violate any amendment.

Are those self centered twits you refer to the ones in the masks buying up all of the toilet paper while complaining that that everyone not wearing a mask is selfish? lol

Young people with Covid are also in those hospitals. It's not just old people.

Nope.

As affirmed by the courts, the government has wide powers in case of public health emergency: there can be mandates, quarantines, etc.

So I guess I should wait now for your regular statement that there is no health emergency, nobody is sick, etc.
