Mask
[QUOTE=Bonnevie;1911010]Really, then do so and provide their credentials. I'm so sick of all the YOLO people who continue to espouse this opinion. Wear a mask, big deal. You're not being asked to black out windows, or rush to an air raid shelter at a moment's notice. Nothing is being rationed. You're not sending your sons and husbands to war....you are being asked to follow some simple guidelines in the hopes of making it a few more months until the majority of Americans are vaccinated. Just because the pandemic has so far not touched your lives doesn't mean it won't.
as far as doing risky things----most of those mentioned involved personal risk....when other people's "freedom" impacts the community at large then it is not just a danger to yourself.
Providing credentials would just be a waste of time, you would just find some reason to discredit them, just as I have reasons to discredit mask advocates. One thing though, for sure, is that most mask wearers do not wear mask properly, or do not wear the correct type of mask, or change, or wash those mask regularly. For example, I was in the AAA office recently speaking to an employee about insurance. Every time this woman wanted to make a point she took her mask down below her mouth so that she could speak more clearly. All healthy folks have immune systems, which work best when exposed to various germs and virus contaminates. In the past, how many times have we been told to keep our hands away from our eyes, nose and mouth? Yet I see so very many folks adjusting their mask, or just the act of removing or installing a mask brings hands and fingers close to the face. No, I will not wear a mask, but I do maintain social distancing, which, in my opinion, is more effective.
