When masks and temp checks are required before entrance. That would mean stadiums and concert halls could be filled again.

Maybe answer the question instead of flinging what YOU perceive as insults.

When will YOU go back to normal? Never?

Not a right winger, huh? YET, you are parroting, the biggest and most popular talking point among conservatives, trumpers and right wingers. It's nothing but pure right wing dogma at this point. Your questions are compromised of one false narrative after another. No one wants daily testing, no one wants store closed for a year, etc., and it's also false premise to imply ppl are terrified and angry at those who aren't "afraid." If ppl are angry at anti maskers it's because they see a stupid person, who's also a potential health threat to everyone around them. It has nothing to do with you being, stupidly unafraid of a virus. If this thing wasn't so damn contagious, I couldn't care less if you wore a mask or not, and got covid. And even then, you're still a burden on society because if you end up hospitalized you're taking up needed bed space and doctors to treat you.

What we need is an actual leader to lead this country. We need a national plan in place, whether that be a mask mandate or whatever, so we can move forward.

Do you want people to LIE and say that are getting the vaccine when they aren't? My family and close friends already know how I feel about vaccinations, and doctors, so it is never discussed. They also know it will only cause a fight should they try "encourage" me.

I agree with newtovenice. Don't care if others get it, including my own family members. Pro-choice.

A mandatory mask is nothing in comparison to mandatory testing and mandatory vaccination. Do you understand the difference? However, there are some people who believe the former is the first step to the latter.

Where did you get the idea I said to lie about taking the vaccine? All I said was stop telling other people not to take it. If you do not want it you should actively encourage everyone else to take it even if you do not want to.

If you do not want mandatory vaccination you should be campaigning for everyone to take it.

I've noticed you STILL haven't answered the question, except to say you want a new president.

So if the current president is re-elected, then what?

What is YOUR idea of safe?

Never leaving your house ever again in your lifetime?

Can YOU answer the question for YOU and not hiding behind someone else?

Logic fail. If you don't want ice cream, you should campaign everyone else to run out and eat it???

Just. Epic. Fail. On. All. Counts.

Smoke and mirrors, very. very tiresome.

Forever?

At what point would you be OK with returning to life as normal?

I'm seeing a trend here that people just don't ever want to go back to normal. It's disturbing.

Because he asked the question of those who are terrified of COVID-19, and I don’t know anyone that I would say is “terrified “. I wear a seat belt when I drive, but I wouldn’t say that I’m terrified of having an accident. I wear deodorant, but I wouldn’t say that I’m terrified of BO.
