WOW! Just as you feel so strongly about wearing your mask in public, I and all the neighbors and friends I associate with feel no need or fear to wearing a mask when visiting each other or walking outside. I had COVID in April when it was at its peak. Minor symptoms and I fully recovered without complications. I know of several relatives and friends who have had it all fully recovered with most with minor symptoms. All feel fine today. If you feel that you are that immune or medically compromised then wear your mask when out or stay home. Let’s get something straight. There will never be a time that any official will order me to wear a mask in Public. When will you realize that vaccine or no vaccine this virus will be with us for some time. 98% of people who get it will recover. I and my friends are seniors and lived through it chances are you or your family will as well. Again if your that sickly wear your mask outside or stay home otherwise stop the criticism of people that don’t think like you.

It is that kind of attitude that necessitates the kind of mask mandate that 34 states and the District of Colombia have enacted. You do not seem to care about other people. Look at your figures: if 98% of people with COVID-19 recover, that means that potentially 6,600,000 Americans will not. Don't you think that we ought to do what we can to reduce that number? Also, remember that the fact that you had COVID-19 and recovered does not mean that you cannot get it again at some point.
