Just saying.
Until it inconvenienced you. Then it would be "You're infringing on my rights! WAHHHHH!!!!"

What is scary is the joint chiefs including the ones holding the nuke codes are in quarantine. Trump is in quarantine in the white house. And the countries who do not like us know this.

Trump with his recklessness has put us in a very vulnerable situation.

Trump is a sick person and hopped up on something. Very dangerous.

Doctors are some of the most arrogant people on the planet. You think they would be wearing masks if it didn't make a difference.

Stop peddling nonsense.
The Japanese have been believers in masks for a long time. Japan has around the same number of citizens as the United States, jammed into an area less than 4% of the U.S. They have one of the lowest rates of coronavirus on the planet, with only 86,000 cases and 1,600 deaths.

All else being equal, it points to universal mask wearing as being one of the absolute essentials for avoiding the disease.

Could you provide a link to support your statement, please? We've been "told" a lot of things, and prefer having data to back them up before reaching a conclusion.

Listen, if you want to wear a mask, WEAR IT. I don't care. If you want to get a vaccine, GET IT. Again, I don't care. You have the right to wear whatever it is on your face that you'll feel protected from. And you also have the right to treat yourself the best way you believe.

However, I have the right NOT to wear a mask and have the right now to want to be vaccinated. I'm not against either one but I'm against the government trying to tell me how to take care of myself and for people like yourself who want to be "Safety Nazi's".


.
That's fine, but if a privately owned business says you have to wear one to enter, you have to put one on. Are you okay with that?

If not, that's fine, but don't enter, and please go elsewhere. No problem!
