No surprise, you are suggesting to lie to someone to get them off your back.
So much for personal responsibility...
I actually laughed out loud when I read this.
You're asserting that by not wearing a mask, you're not accepting responsibility for someone else's health.
Yeah. Ok. And?
I'm having a cheeseburger for lunch. If I die of a heart attack next year, it's your fault, because you didn't stop me. Why didn't you accept responsibility for my health?
You have this so fundamentally wrong, like I said, I literally laughed.
If you live in a red state, you can actually live and are FREE to make your own decisions. As someone that lives in a blue state most of the time and Florida part of the time, I can't get over the difference! WOW, Florida treats their citizens like adults. Pennsylvania treats us all like children! It is what it is, but I will NEVER vote blue again!
You're conflating a pandemic with public safety measures, they aren't the same thing.
Lifting a mask mandate doesn't automatically mean there is no covid pandemic within that geopolitical boundary.
Okay, what are the odds of dying from a case of covid for an obese person age 65? I'm curious where you draw the line for little to be concerned about.

OUR COUNTRY HAS 335 MILLION PEOPLE! 570,000 is NOTHING! many of those people were killed purposely by a nutcase governor that purposely put infected people in the same residence as old, sick people in nursing homes!
Do you understand macro statistics at all? Do you understand the difference between "570k" and 335 Million?
Stop fear mongering and get ahold of yourself. You have a 10% chance, pre-vaccine of getting the virus. You have a one in many thousands chance of actually dying from the virus.
You have taken more risk every day you've driven in your entire life than the virus ever presented to you.
Snap out of it.
The 500,000+ death number is greatly exaggerated. In fact, it is misinformation.
That is the number of people who have died WITH covid, not the number of people who have died directly OF covid.
It is important that people who care about the truth not concede or consent to false premises or numbers that misrepresent the truth.

Yes I know you're always trying to pretend the death amount is false and that vaccines aren't really vaccines, I'll go with the scientists all over the world instead of some guy on the internet who does everything he can to trivialize the pandemic.
What is your magic number that will be an acceptable level of deaths that you will not longer want to have ridiculous restrictions, mask mandates, etc.
You cited a number and expressed concern over it, so obviously you should have a number in your mind that would be acceptable to you?
What is it?
Just as a point of reference, the death rate among human beings is ultimately 100%.
We are all expendable, and in fact, we are all being expended. Death is inevitable for all of us.

No doubt. And of that number, 80+% are people over 80 with other health conditions.
Also, tens of thousands of them were people purposely infected in nursing homes in PA, NJ and NY with that absurd policy of putting infected people in with a population of the most vulnerable people.
If you're under 75 and are in good health, your chances of dying from covid are like getting struck by lighting or hitting the mega millions.

Good. Then you agree - this whole thing must be about something OTHER than death, right?
And it is.
As has been stated many times - by every nation in every corner of the COVID globe - it's about resources.
who is responsible for health care resources?
