A virus’ goal, like all life, is to stay alive and reproduce
Mother of God.
A virus has no brain. Mutation is random. DNA bases don't look across the polymer at other DNA bases and shout "hey, man, let's rearrange, or we gone die"
Again, grab an advanced degree in immunology, then get back to me. You can't get one of those on Reddit.

But why is a mask so controversial? We have laws about wearing clothing and seat belts and getting kids vaccinated and all kinds of other "public health" things. Why is a temporary law about wearing masks so different?
Where do I even begin?? For one your ill attempt to compare wearing clothes to wearing a face mask is lunacy.. there are people who work outside in the sun in 90 degree weather everyday could you imagine having a something over your face while it’s already hard to breath outside.. it’s not only a health threat sweating into a mask that will absorb your sweat and whatever germs mutate while it’s being boiled in the sun but it also brings up a breathing hazard. Therefore heatstrokes and heat exhaustion. Now let’s talk about “temporary law” you don’t know weather it’s temporary or not. This virus is flu like and spreads the way the flu does. Well now that they have put this preventative/ slow spread measure to slow down coronavirus who knows when they will adopt this preventative/ slow spread measure during flu season. Before you know every fall and winter it will be required. Now At that point does it sound temporary to you? You my friend are a sheep. Good day

So you are 100% sure that viral load is insignificant?
I never mentioned viral load. Load obviously is a factor, as your immune response is in a race against viral replication.
What we know now should let you know that, if you are young, that race is eventually going to be won by the immune system.
The long-term implications of shuttering the economy, firing people, seeing a huge uptick in violent crime and suicide should be weighed against the young getting exposed, and having long-term impact.

However, I wear it for other people’s peace of mind, and since I’m not a sociopath, I’m fine with that.
And likewise, i don't wear one so others that don't, do not feel ostracized. We are both noble creatures!

A mask can impede participation in the economy.
Before you ask for a link. Link your own lies and falsehoods first.

Wearing a mask doesn't prevent people from participating in the economy, so I'm not sure what your point is
My point is, masks prevent people under 60 from getting exposed, and getting immune. These people will all eventually be exposed, masks or not - it's math.
Wear a mask around old people, indoors, and have old people wear masks. Do your own risk assessment.

The argument against government mandates on wearing masks should be rooted in the frame work of government’s only responsibility is to protect our rights granted by god. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness it is not governments responsibility to protect us from disease it is impossible for them to do it that is why it is unconstitutional to force me to wear a mask

Wearing masks is a cheap and easy way to virtue-signal.

But a lot of people under 60 are unhealthy. What if it turns out that viral load can overwhelm immune systems of the unhealthy and that getting exposed in a less significant way leads to both better survival and immunity?
Those under 60, and unhealthy, know that they are unhealthy. they should do their own risk assessment, and behave accordingly. It's unreasonable for them to expect me to be forced to protect them, when they can protect themselves, especially when their expectation of me is to damage my health in the process of protecting them.

Wearing masks is retarded
Covid is like the flu...meaning, it’s here and not going away. Fully open the economy and combat Covid via herd immunity.

Now address the other point. Let's say all Americans who don't lock themselves inside will eventually get coronavirus. Do you think the viral load will play a significant role in mortality, all else equal?
Point 1: I reject your premise. With 10-30 million already exposed, all will eventually be exposed, indoors are not,
Point 2: viral load plays a part in ones ability to develop an immune response. For those under 60 who are healthy, a low viral load will see someone develop no symptoms, and the immune system wins. Those who see a higher viral load will get ill, and (like the 60 million who got sick from H1N1) will see their immune systems win.
