So, the way I read these hysterical posts, ALL of you wear your masks at home around your spouse? If not, why not? After all, you should be considerate of them, right? I am glad that you all agree to wear a mask out in public. That means that it is not necessary for me to wear one, right? Because you say one should wear a mask to be considerate of others and it is our obligation to wear one to protect others. Well, I see it another way. If you are considerate of me, then you should stay home if you fear catching the virus. Stay away from me and we will all be happy. Don't put guilt trips on others if they do not wish to wear a mask. That is like telling someone that they do not care about others if they do not wear a seat belt or a motorcycle helmet. Worry about yourselves and leave everyone else alone.
Also, get your facts straight. Yes, there is still those getting infected in the Villages. BUT, how many have died lately of the virus? Very few compared to when it first started, right? Why don't you compare the stats of how many have died of natural causes to how many have died since the virus. Bet you will find that there is very little difference if any.
Now, quit pushing the panic button like it's your horn while stuck in traffic. You cannot mandate that anyone wear their mask in public. A store can mandate a mask wearing, but once the customer leaves the store they can take it off. Like I said, do you wear one when you are within six feet of your family? If not, you are putting them in jeopardy.
That said, I do wear my mask when shopping. But, I also have always taken advantage of the hand wipes at the entrances, washed my hands when using the bathroom, attempt to always keep my hands away from my face. Common stuff that shouldn't be abnormal for the average person. I wear my mask, but don't assume that I am doing it for you. Your premise is that everyone should be concerned for your welfare. Surprise, many don't give a hoot about your welfare.
Wear your mask if it gives you that placebo effect. I lost someone in my family that wore their mask EVERYWHERE they went and even wore disposable gloves. Some folks die and some folks can fall down the stairs stone drunk without harming themselves.
Do what you gotta do, but don't presume to demand others to cater to your whims.
