80-90% of Villagers DO NOT have underlying conditions. Where did you get that from? CNN?

Please explain to me why I need a mask to pick up my mail when I am never within 15' of another.

I think wearing a mask makes others feel comfortable whether you’re six feet away or twenty feet away. Comfortable that others are being considerate.

Thank you for some common sense, very uncommon these days with all the fear-mongering media coverage. For a little perspective, there have been 1200-1300 deaths in Florida with Sars Cov2 in a population of roughly 22 million souls

The ones that wear a mask in their car or cart are the same ones that wear a condom to bed, alone. :1rotfl:

I heard that they get $17,000 for each Covid-19 patient and only $6,000 for a flu patient. Now let's do the math from New York. No one is dying from much of anything, except Covid-19. The regular flu deaths are practically non-existent. Do you think the numbers are true for the Covid-19 death rate?

If I'm doing some fiberglass insulation, I wear a mask. If I'm in a dusty environment, I wear a mask. I do it to PROTECT MYSELF from inhaling unwanted particles. I don't wear it to protect you.

During this "pandemic" the reasoning is the same. And I don't go crazy if someone isn't wearing one. If I want protection, I'll go get one. Until then, I won't wear one.

90% of the people are over-reacting.
I used to think that the older we got, the wiser we got.
Reading TOTV, dispels this fantasy.

Yesterday the CDC adjusted down the number of Covid-19 deaths from 64,283 to 37,308. In the US. They took out all of the deaths from other causes.
I’ve been saying for weeks that the numbers were cooked.

Wearing home made masks are recommended because they do provide a degree of protection from droplets which are spewed into the air when someone speaks, sneezes or coughs.

My mask protects you and your mask protects me. Here is a quick video which demonstrates why wearing home made masks are protective.
