Wow, I can't even imagine what that would look like. Lot's of elderly folks would risk dying and would not leave their homes.

Yeah, that's a big concern no doubt. Important infrastructure helping to keep people alive & afloat during these times would also be at risk for a significant amount of time at least on a local level
 
NBA player Eric Bledsoe has tested positive for the coronavirus. He is asymptomatic.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to figure out. I have heard no compelling reasons why TEMPORARILY having to wear a mask is a bad thing. You can throw up some mess about taking freedom away or whatever, but that's silly, unless something like this were to become permanent. Humans are not designed to live their lives behind a mask. But that's neither here nor there right now. We're talking about a temporary protocol that just makes good sense.

I stated earlier I wear a mask around others not because big brother tells me too but because I'm responsible. My disdain for a mandate is your last sentence, talking about a temporary protocol.....I hope your right. Forgive me for not trusting government

Make sure you deduct the ones that died in a car crash that were positive for COVID and then counted in COVID death column. The seatbelt comparison is flawed. The state should not be allowed to mandate that you wear a seatbelt, I think that is unconstitutional. I choose to wear one because they actually make sense and may save my life (and may already have a few times). Wearing a mask when I am not sick will not safe my life or anyone else’s life. I don’t wear a seatbelt because the state tells me to, I wear it because of the protection for my life. Nobody wears a seatbelt so that their body avoids killing someone in a car accident. Our freedoms have been eroded little by little until now we are at full gestapo activity. The time for words is quickly coming to an end.

Is there any actual proof of people dieing in car accidents and being counted as a covid death? This just reeks of --------

If we mandate mask shouldn’t we open everything up? I don’t understand the whole mandating masks along with closing things down.

Such a stupid argument. Masks don't make you invincible, they help to a certain degree... just like social distancing helps but isn't 100 percent. It's not that complicated.

I have lost faith in our society. The "gotchya" arguments for not wearing a mask lack any critical thought. It's pooping insane.

Stand in line. People abstain from wearing masks just like others abstain from social distancing guidelines when they go out to protest. Both are exercising rights, both contribute to rises in case confirmation, and both are really insane.

Think about this one. I posted article today where two medical journals had to retract studies criticizing hydroxychloroquine because the marketing firm that wrote it used faulty data from a third party funder with political motives, and they won't provide the name of this party that put lives at risk. All cause they don't like Trump. Has any media outlet retracted their reporting of these studies? I don't think so. Why? Cause their perfectly happy risking peoples lives if means their political opponents look bad. So no. I have no interest in being angry or losing faith over guy that doesn't wear mask, because guy on television has been providing false information about Covid-19 months.
 
I think of requirements to wear masks similarly to how I think about requirements to wear clothes. For those who are against the mask ordinances, do you think folks should be allowed to walk around naked in public?

What does trump and hydroxychloroquine have to do with wearing a mask? I'm just pointing out these -------- arguments that people make that if masks work why can't I do x,y,z.

There are a lot of selfish people out there who don’t give a crap about other people’s health and possibly spreading disease. There are also a lot of ignorant people out there who are clueless about how much masks can reduce spreading disease.

Yep. It's just a matter of respect to others. I don't get the it's my right not to wear a mask (unless you dumb down the argument)

From Savannah mayor Johnson:

“It is officially official. Governor Kemp does not give a damn about us. Every man and woman for himself/herself. Ignore the science and survive the best you can.”

"Governor Kemp does not give a damn about us," Savannah mayor says after mask decision

Governor Brian Kemp is explicitly banning cities and counties in the state from ordering people to wear masks in public.

Thank you GOP dumbasses for moving the US toward socialism in 2020. Idiots! They deserve it, dumb mfers. Dare I say, it is almost as if these GOPers want this to happen!
