What a dumb thread.

Do you also take stopping at red lights as an affront to your personal pride too?

We don't live by God's law because there was no law. Are you talking about the new testament or the old because there were 2 different God's depicted. Wearing a mask no way affects how you live so what's big deal.

I also get so mad when the Big Gubmint tells me that I can only drive on the right side of the road. What is this, COMMUNIST RUSSIA?? Goddamit, I want to drive on the left side of the road. Backwards. Onto the sidewalk. It's my right, you can't take that away from me!

So can I, no? It is your right. It is mine as well. It IS a free country, no? At least last time checked...

Party on...

Yes, in the United States of Looney Tunes, you are free to drive on the left side of the road against oncoming traffic.

In the United States of America, where I happen to live, we actually enforce traffic regulations by government force and generally abide by them for the collective good of public safety. It works out well. You should visit someday!

Statistical Analysis of spread with and without masks.
https://www.pnas.org/content/117/26/14857
"Our analysis indicates that face covering reduced the number of infections by over 78,000 in Italy from April 6 to May 9 and by over 66,000 in NYC from April 17 to May 9. "

Efficacy of various masks (note that this is a review of particles expelled during talking.)

Some laws are good, rational & reasonable. Proven to protect. Masks are NOT one of them.

No wonder. Bars, salons, barbers, massage parlors, gyms and restaurants were shut down in my town. During that time positive cases stayed stuck at 22. A couple of months later all those businesses were allowed to reopen and now the positive cases have skyrocketed to 687.
