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 follow the requirements of the store I'm visiting. I will never disrespect the employees who are following corporate guidelines. With the current population of the U.S. around 328 million and we've only had around 8 million infected, this will be with us for a long time. My suggestion is to follow your own instincts and situation. If you are vulnerable, keep the guidelines. If not, just use common sense but do follow the business rules. My feeling is none of us know how much time we have left, could be tonight, could be 20 years from now. Do I want to spend the time isolated? No and I won't. Will I tempt fate by diving in to a situation where there is a high chance of contracting it, No. Depending on the strain you get, it can be mild or devastating, including death. The country cannot afford to lock down again and I don't expect that to happen.
