I've been noticing while especially at Lowe's more & more people not wearing masks even though its required to enter the store. This will most likely be the reason this virus never goes away.

Your right about that. So people get an influenza shot every year but it still exsists so i guess it wont be any different with Covid-19. Looks like Covid is here to stay.

Covid is real. But the fear and paranoia is manufactured. The survival rate is above 99%. To shut down an economy, kill jobs, create panic was only necessary for political gain.

COVID is a nasty flu strain. Novel. But nothing near the most deadly we've experienced as humans. There will be a much worse pandemic in the future. Get your shot next month when they come out along with your yearly flu/pneumonia shots and you'll be fine.

Don't think it'll be quite that easy.

Will not be as easy as getting a flu shot. Apparently you will need a booster injection exactly two weeks later. Not 100% but think I saw it has to be same manufacturer as the first. Going to take an incredible effort to get millions and millions of people vaccinated.

Heck in October I stopped at four different places one day to get a flu shot and they were all out. After a week later and multiple places did I find one. That wasn't even easy.

COVID-19 and the flu are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2, while influenza is caused by influenza A and B viruses. Symptoms of COVID-19 and the flu appear at different times and have some differences. With COVID-19 , you may experience loss of taste or smell.

The goal for Operation Warp Speed is to deliver safe vaccines that work, with the first supply becoming available before the end of 2020. When a vaccine is authorized or approved in the United States, there may not be enough doses available for all adults. Supplies will increase over time, and all adults should be able to get vaccinated later in 2021. However, a COVID-19 vaccine may not be available for young children until more studies are completed.

Required to enter the store is basically telling people you have to wear it to enter, then you can remove it.

This is the wording on a lot of signs, so technically if this is what they did, it is fine.

I personally will wear it entering most places, and I will remove it unless I get closer than 6 feet of someone (I will slide it up over my nose and mouth when near others, and when I am away from others will slide it back down.)


My opinion - if someone isn't wearing it, let them be - there is no mask mandate as of today. If they don't want to wear it - it's on them and not our place to say anything.


If there is someone who is not comfortable about it, that person can stay home - do grocery pickup, get food delivered

Of course, this is what I think - whether you/anyone thinks it is true/right or not.
