Who else is worried that if the democrats win, we'll be wearing masks forever? And when I say "forever", I mean just way too long

It is NO BIG DEAL TO WEAR A MASK!


Get over it


If we do - we do


But basement man will never win!

i'd just be happy to have all the businesses back, even if they have to put up with a few restrictions like wearing a mask. its the road to recovery, and also kids going back to school. and all this fear go away.

The only way to make the fear go away is for the masses to turn off the TV .... Dont give them the power to keep them scared!

I dont think anyone will turn it off so they will be able to keep this going as long as they want...

What negative impacts are you talking about? Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Socially distance. There are no negative impacts from not being an idiot during a pandemic. If a federal mask mandate is required, it's because you people don't know how to listen to health experts.

And that comment was aimed at the previous person's "This is how it's always been" (in regards to the West never having adopted mask-wearing). They were advocating that us never having done it before was a somehow good enough reason not to do it now.
A mask doesn't protect the person wearing it, and it, at most, stops 3% of the droplets. Do you actually believe the mask will stop you from getting the virus?

The good reason not to do it is that they don't work to stop the virus because the virus is so small it passes through the cloth. And, people tend to touch the mask adjusting it, taking it off and on, and each time unless they sanitize their hands, add the bacteria buildup inside and outside, and the person wearing the mask increases their risk of contracting the virus and also other things from the bacteria load on their mask.

Science? You want science? I got science:

Yes, many are fighting it on the state/local levels. Out of the 105 counties in KS, 90 opted out of the Governor's mask mandate.

No, not at all. It is proven that seat belts (45% from death and 50% from serious injury) save lives, but cloth masks don't even protect the wearer, and only a 3% or less chance that they protect people in the surrounding area, while the bacteria load and the tendency to touch the mask with unclean hands increase the chances of contracting COVID 19 or some bacterial illness.
