I am wearing a mask when I go out because it's mandatory, but I hate it. I have some very bad memories of things covering part or all of my face.

The issue isn't when it's voluntary. The issue is when it's mandatory. And several politicians and officials have mentioned wanting to make it mandatory.
frick. That.

It isn't this new evil plot by the government.
Nurse, love ya, but there are apps developed by Google and others who are going to use this for CT. We are already tracked by our phones, but its another bullshite move by big tech and politicians. Data is $$$

You know you can leave your phone at home - or just buy a burner.

I’m not a microbiologist, but I do listen to the wisdom from those who actually are, and I don’t pretend I have all the answers because I have fricking google and can pick and choose my own narrative to suite what I want to believe.

That’s all good and fine, but it has nothing to do with wearing a mask, and as one with elderly parents who are at risk on multiple levels, if me wearing a mask helps them not catch it, then that’s what I’m going to do, and I’m going to try and do it as a rule to be responsible. I don’t give two flying monkey shits what some pipe fitting numb nut thinks about science because he’s too scared to put a mask on and act responsibly, or because he doesn’t think he knows anyone who might die from it, or worse yet, just doesn’t give a frick.
I sure as hell couldn't forgive myself if I had some cavalier attitude towards all this and my actions caused someone I loved to die as a result of my own selfish stupidity.

There is no way to contain a virus where more than 20% of those infected show no symptoms. You contain a virus by isolating those who are infected. There's no way to do that in this case unless we quarantine everyone indefinitely which would destroy society as we know it.
The only solution is herd immunization which, ironically, is prohibited by the quarantine bullshite we've been doing.

Did you ask your parents what they wanted?

Not the point. The point is to slow the rate of which it infects people. I fo agree that some states should start to open up but the OT narrative is just asinine

Your elderly parents are at risk, and should be locked down in their home not out in the general public, and if you are following standard protocol for infection control when contacting them it doesn’t matter who in the general public is wearing a mask or not.

What part of "inevitable" do you not get? Every single human on this planet will eventually be exposed. If the hospitals are not overwhelmed, what does it matter if your elderly parents are exposed now, or six months from now?

They are, but others aren’t who get around them, and so that’s where it’s most important to wear a mask.
Some don’t even know they’re at risk and are out like it’s all some overblown government conspiracy where all the governments around the world got together In some underground chamber to devise a sinister plan to frick the entire population of planet earth, as if that’s even remotely possible.
The danger from all this isn’t In opening up. We need to, badly, but it’s in the mentality of people in this very thread toward wearing a mask in public to be responsible in not spreading it to an unmanageable level. That’s where the real problem is.

That’s as dumb an assumption as all the initial models. There is a lot we don’t know about this virus. The idea that it’s going to become endemic is coming from the same “experts” who are telling you to wear a mask.
You are just picking and choosing what you want to believe.

I'm exposed to contagious disease almost every day at work. Sorry if I don't agree with shutting down the economy for something that is close to the flu.

Ok, Karen. My body, my choice. If you're in a at risk category then wear your mask. I'm not wearing a mask so you can feel safe.

I’m not opposed to opening back up. We need to right this very second, but its the mentality of wearing a mask that started this very thread that’s the real problem, and if you think this was bad, wait until everyone forgets all about it and it spreads like wildfire and we shut it down again. The second will be much worse than the first shut down, and that’s why its important to be careful, but I know all the super virus impervious tough guys In here cant rationalize that.
