Masks DO stop the spread! It’s clear and the proof is that the countries that have mandated mask wearing and stay at home policies are seeing the spread of the virus go down , even to the point that many are reopening their economy. They also, by the way, don’t want Americans coming to their country because we have failed miserably in stopping the spread of the virus because of the lack of leadership in this country. We are pitied because we are so stupid and are , seemingly, in a race with countries like Brazil to see if we can continue being number one in the world in deaths. It’s not “freedom” to be the reason for not caring how many people get sick or die.
The similarities between America and Nazi Germany increase with each passing day, including embracing a death culture. This virus is not going to “just disappear “. The sooner that mandated behavior is required, and violators suffer a penalty for not doing so, the quicker this disease can be managed instead of the dumpster fire that is raging in states like Florida. It’s nice to hope for a vaccine, but it’s never been easy to develop one for a corona virus. Even the vaccines for the flu aren’t foolproof.
It’s also wrong to mandate kids return to school since we know very little about the long term consequences of getting infected with this virus. It could have deleterious effects years, or even decades, after becoming infected. There are viruses that do exactly that. How can anyone assume that isn’t possible with this virus? We are learning new things about this virus with each passing day. For instance, it is looking like you aren’t immune to catching it again and the protective antibodies that manifest after becoming infected are surprisingly of a short duration.
