This country was founded on individual rights and freedoms and a lot of people, me included, don't like the slow erosion of them. Pretty soon, we'll be under a mask mandate during flu season. Then, we'll be under a permanent mask mandate when shopping in stores and so on.
How about older people who've lived a full life sacrifice themselves and set an example for future generations that our freedoms and liberties are precious and worth dying for just like those who founded this nation and subsequent generations that sacrificed for freedom along the way?

Don't get ahead of yourself. Once there is an effective vaccine and/or therapeutics which can minimize the effects of this dreadful virus, the need for masking will be a thing of the past. I'm counting on there being a vaccine in the future so I'm on board with the mitigation of the virus in the only ways we know that works. That is masking, social distancing, washing hands often and DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE!
