But, this weekend I noticed more and more people becoming truly belligerent over the masking for shopping, i.e. WalMart yesterday ... young couple absolutely refusing to wear a mask and just pushed right into the store saying "you cannot take away my civil rights". People, mostly elderly men, in Publix without masks and not socially distancing to cash out. Today at P;aneras in SLS people not wearing masks and not distancing, and then throw in the crazy woman who was screaming about politics to everyone who would stop and listen.

I am sick and tired of this awful situation and am suggesting, we just give up and let nature take its course. If someone is sure that the virus is a hoax and will not kill anyone, let them have at it and cull the herd that way. The rest of us who do want to live without catching this virus can go on our merry way protecting ourselves.

What say you ..... for or against with good reasons.
I was reading an article from Weird History and how the 1918 Spanish Flu came to an end....social distance, mask and herd....no meds no vaccine. By the time it finally ended 1/3 of the world population had caught it. The towns and counties that did social distance and mask had the best out comes. So don’t give up because like the Spanish Flu it lasted two years this one is going to last an other year if we learn from history.
I try my best to ride in the middle of the road be safe, keep my family, friends, co-workers, and public workers safe and I realize that is all anyone can do.
