Reasons enough to wear a mask:

1100+ Americans died yesterday

159,496 new cases of covid diagnosed yesterday

To bad you felt it necessary to include this sentence, it probably turns others off too: These people are endangering not only themselves (which, frankly, doesn't particularly bother me), but they are endangering everybody else as well (which does bother me).

Never will happen. Why would TV be the only area in the US to self quarantine after travel for residents and guests. Are you serious? There are plenty of other retirement communities so why would TV be “so special”. Wear your mask, social distance, mind your own business and take care of yourself. Dont worry about others, you wont change them

Forcing Mask Wearing
 

I wear the stupid things out of respect for others, but implementing a law to force that is just plain silly. If you see someone without one on in a store, go the other way or perhaps lobby the store to mandate the wearing of masks in order to do business, but please keep the darned government out of our lives. It is like telling people they can't smoke. I don't flock to inhale someone's second hand smoke. I go the other way. That person has the right to smoke if they want to. If they follow me around, I then, as Steve Martin would have done, have the right to fart. I suppose the government should make a law against that as well?

Correction, cases are surging in parts of the country. With that being said, I see the biggest risk in the near future bring people traveling from those hot spots. So the question is how many of you have told family and friends to not visit through the end of the year or beyond. If we're talking about being responsible in an at risk community, that would be the responsible actions to take. Or will the overwhelming need to hug the grandkids prevail?
You have a choice to make.

Boy, Do I like your response.

Thank you...agree 100%

Thank You!
 

Thank you! If anyone here knows of someone who has died alone in a hospital due to the virus then you know the seriousness of protecting yourself and those around you with a mask and social distancing.

Remember that some folks have COPD or are claustrophobic. Have some compassion.

Bravo!!!!!!!!!

What I have never understood about this is the pressure is always on the people to wear masks (which I believe we should). The pressure should be put on the businesses. Real simple, no mask no entry. In larger businesses such a Publix, Walmart etc. there should be an employee at the door telling people no mask no entry. They could even provide a paper mask to people who may have forgotten theirs. If stores, restaurants and businesses started requiring the use of masks and enforcing the rule I think more people would get the message and would have no other choice but to carry one with them. Remember the days of no shirt no shoes no service. Worked pretty well.

KEEP IN MIND 2009 H1N1 pandemic. There were 60.8 million cases. I don't remember having a mask mandate. But that was not an election year. I have a friend that works in Atlanta in the hospital. They were told early on that no matter what a person dies from it would be recorded as Covid. The hospital would get 17k for a covid death and 5k for all other. One more example ....Friends of our went to get the covid test and signed the papers to get it done. After waiting for a long time decided to come back the next day. They left and was going to return the next day, but before they left the next day they got a call and was informed the test they took the previous day was positive. (no test was taken the previous day) I believe that we should respect the current flu, but I also believe we are being lead down a path of wrong info.

Remember that some folks have COPD or are claustrophobic. Have some compassion.

The ineffectiveness of mask, see NY,NJ, CN, makes a mask mandate suspect. If your afraid stay home. Don’t impose restrictions that have no science behind them
