When I see this giant surge of new cases has a median age in the mid 30s I think "hmmmm...what age group are most grocery clerks and restaurant workers?"

There is one distinct difference between the vehement "everyone should wear a mask" crowd and the vehement "no one should be telling me to wear a mask" crowd.

When a masker enters a crowded building/venue they say: "It is your job to protect me and others from getting this virus". These are the type of people who would sue a store, see businesses shut down and demand strict contract tracing if they happened to somehow contract the virus.

The non-maskers enter a crowded venue and immediately accept the risk and responsibility of doing so. If they get sick they'll stay home and recover like they do with any other virus. If their symptoms get severe enough they'll seek medical treatment like they do with any other virus.

Personally, I would rather live with the anti-maskers any day of the week.
