Comparing a mask with underwear is a strawman argument - the most disingenuous form of discussion. Please stop with the nonsense.

NY and NJ have a higher a death rate per capita, but that is old news. Since June, their infection, hospitalization, and death rates are much lower than Florida's. Florida is a much hotter virus spot currently and that's all that matters to me.

Time to let people live their own lives and live with whatever the consequences may be. Just worry about you and yours.

Stay home. Lock the doors and windows. Wear your mask, gloves and face shield. Have your groceries delivered, and left at your front door. See how well you survive...mentally! People NEED people, socializing, interaction, communication and physical activity.
Masks CAUSE unhealthy breathing and skin issues. We need fresh air!
I do not wear a mask because I have CS...Common Sense!!

Why don't you do your own job and stop asking others to SQUEAL on their neighbors...

Yes, because their peak was earlier than ours and they made bad decisions. Our numbers are much better and our deaths are in a steep decline. Most of the cases are in southeast Florida and the average age is low.

This is why we are remaining in NH until 2021. Most businesses require masks in order to enter their facility.
It makes me feel safer. We eat out rarely. If the staff do not wear masks, we leave.
Please use good judgement and wear masks and social distance.

Surprised at the crowd level. More surprising and disappointing was almost nobody wearing masks.
Outside bars and tables shoulder to shoulder.
Even the strollers on streets surrounding the square.

I would have never ever guessed there would be more than 90% with no masks or social distancing.

Totally surprised! Extremely disappointed!

The clock is running....time will tell.

I think people are playing Russian roulette with COVID19. Time will tell. I hope I am wrong, or people will die needlessly.

Time will tell if this was a good idea or not.

OK. I read seven pages of comments, so I gotta' vent!

The whole issue is so simple! You can choose any level of caution you desire. I respect your choice. Just stop trying to impose YOUR views on everyone else.

My situation: I'm 79, have AFIB, Pulmonary Hypertension, COPD with seven lung spots from way too many years of past smoking. In short, I have most of the co-morbidity problems. I work 3-4 full shifts at Spanish Springs Lanes and bowl in 4 leagues weekly. I never wear a mask when doing either event. I work and play elbow to elbow with many hundreds of people a week. Of the THOUSANDS of contacts, I have known a total of 3 people with Covid-19, one had it back in February and two this summer. A frightening and bad situation for all three. (They are all 3 back actively living life and bowling). I know that the death and actual case statistics are grossly inflated. (Contact me if you desire to argue - lol). My whole point is I have lived, and enjoyed, life as fully as possible during the last seven months of national trauma. If I had chosen the extreme opposite, that so many have, I would have lost those seven months of enjoyable life. I DO wear masks and comply with the desires of any store/home I am in. Not always because I agree, but to make the host person or business comfortable. Many of you have cheated yourselves and loved ones for the last 7-8 months, out of an enjoyable life. We don't have many more 7-8 month periods left in our lives folks!

Life goes on for some of us. I still don't know of anyone who has contracted the virus.
I'll continue to travel, go out to eat, and enjoy life with my friends.
I wash my hands, and sometimes (Publix) wear a mask. I have never wiped down my groceries or done any of the "prescribed" activities of the CDC.
The only thing I avoid, is large indoor crowds.
We all will eventually be exposed to Covid-19, so lets get on with life.

Isn't that from "Spamelot"? I LOVE that show. Saw it on Broadway. This is a video of "Not Yet Dead Fred". That is David Hyde Pierce, Hank Azaria and Christian Borle in the number. Really is hilarious......

There was a little bit of lack of social distancing when I went to get a drink. The sidewalk was marked but it was hard to see. There was dancing but I saw very little partner swapping. I cannot speak to the bars. When we walked on the street there were others but everyone maintained their distance. Newest data stresses that outside is much safer than being in a building with recirculated air.

Did The Villages supply chairs? I had read that people had to bring their own chairs.
