The last time I checked, Florida's positive test rate and death rate is still increasing. This virus is NOT going away, in fact, it will get worse as the winter months approach until a certified vaccine is developed.

Stop giving in to a few who still believe this virus is a hoax.

For 5 months wore a 95, plus a surgical mask, plus a face shield. Sometimes used more than once. Unless you developed symptoms you were not tested.

Those who I know that tested positive, returned to work with very little issues, other than using all their vaca time.

Did three types of masks help some, NO. Was there a pattern on who tested positive, NO. We felt it was the luck of the draw. I don’t read the stats or watch the news on Covid, real life is so much better

Do I wear a surgical mask around those I don’t know, when indoors, yes. Outside not so much. Am I going to wait until a vaccine is available to resume my life, NO. But it’s my choice on how I live what is left of my life.

The problem is this. Most people are in agreement with wearing masks. It is the enforcement of that, that is at issue.

Who would the Entertainment Department call to throw out non mask wearing folks? It is not a law.

Especially those with a snoot full? It is the same everywhere. And it is far deeper than mask wearing. Most people of our age follow rules, except those who don't.

Me and mine are avoiding gatherings until our PCP says to get a vaccine.

It is a matter of personal responsibility. Please stay safe you and everyone.

There are plenty of articles in reputable news sources that mention the people who think that COVid worries are over-inflated and, yes, even a hoax. QAnon, for example, is one conspiracy group whose numbers of followers have exponentially grown in the last few years, who embraces that belief.

Also, the death rate may be down, but the cases are increasing, even with It becoming harder to get tested. There are possible long-term medical consequences to this disease, and I’m not referring to transmission, though that’s also a concern. So death is not the only serious result with which we need to be concerned.

To correct your lazy thinking - The mask is basically to protect others from your spittle - if everyone wore a mask no one would catch the virus from breathing the air.

I don't believe for a minute that "most agree with the mask". There is just as.much science that disagrees with the mask as there is that supports it. The media is unfair and you won't read or hear about it though.
