If so, how far are we willing to infringe on others' rights/freedoms to keep others safe?
Is it okay to destroy people's businesses by forcing their extended closure to "protect" others' health?
Is it okay to forcefully remove people from public transportation for not wearing masks?
In Laredo, Texas... it's a $1,000 fine if you go out in public without a mask. The mask requirement can be a cloth draping... i.e., it is not for the wearer's safety, it is for others' safety. Do you agree with this? If so, why? If not, why not?
Have we considered the effects of our actions on our health care workers? Did they sign up for a worldwide global deadly pandemic threatening not only their job, but their life? How about going to work with little to no PPE and "hoping" they stay safe? Did they sign up for this? How might your actions impact their life? Is it okay to make choices and then expect others to "fix" (health care workers) them?

Wearing masks right now may save the health care SYSTEM. The past six weeks mitigated the virus. It’s not dead, it’s still out there. Wearing a mask will keep the number of new cases suppressed until vaccine.
I for one would rather the hospital be able to resume regular functions.
