I am an Independent and thus, need no gov nanny or little tattletalers interfering in my business. If that excites you, then I suggest retiring to your safe room with all your little stuffed animals. About the only reaction to someone that I do not know falling ill is "that's a shame." If I am not infected, then I have no need to satisfy some weak minded and dependent whiner's whims. You should assume that a person that is out and about is safe, not infected. There is no reason to believe that everyone you see is infected. If my rather blunt nature bothers you, then that is totally on you.
And a little side note to unnamed poster that insisted on using "what would Jesus do?" Jesus would not be wearing a mask. He would be healing the BELIEVERS. I might also mention that believers are quoted in the Bible as being able to handle poisonous serpents and drink poison and survive. Best not to attempt to use someone's beliefs to win at a discussion. No matter how you frame your response, you can be right or you can be wrong. We are expressing our opinions.

Superheroes that are super independent of all earthly social bounds, might consider living on a frontier in Alaska or Siberia. CV has clarified the idea that we are ALL dependent on each other AND our government We ALL need Science and medicine to help us to stay ALIVE. And we NEED help from our fellow man/woman. And we NEED to give help - like a simple thing like wearing a mask AND by modeling to others the wearing of masks. Those that dislike government involvement and "so-called" overreach are just begging that same government that MUST protect its citizens to step in and requires something (Mask-wearing and CDC guidelines), which is exactly what those same people DON'T want. Funny how that works!
Ask Not what the country can do for you - what can YOU do for the country in this trying pandemic? Wonder if John F. Kennedy would model mask-wearing?
