The question is: is the cost of mitigation less than the cost of the event it is preventing? If you aren't going to put numbers on the actual risk you're basically saying "cause I said so" with flowery language.
The risk of dying from.covid does not warrant widespread mask wearing and lockdowns. COVID is a cold now that is my point which some are not getting.

I am certain you wouldn't go sit on the park bench.

msRB was on a trail and other people were obviously around. Some of those trails are pretty narrow.



If you knew a person had covid, and they were sitting on a park bench, would you go sit on the park bench with them? Or walk anywhere even close to them?

So these people who wear masks while out on a nature walk...do they wear a mask when they go to the gym? A restaurant? To get their hair done? The beach? The pool? To grocery shop? to go to the library? If you are wearing a mask out on a walk because you are afraid of getting covid, I better not see your ass sitting eating in a restaurant. People are pretty choosy about where they wear the masks and that's what I find comical about it all.

I never once donned a mask outdoors. Of course I don't really care what other people do as long as they don't try to control me. Live and let live.

From what I've read, getting covid typically provides immunity for about 10 months.

It's a lie to push the vaccine. Like many other lies.

It's downright deceitful and dangerous to lie about the vaccine's efficacy, and cause people to die. There's a reason why the Covid death rates were higher in red vs. blue states.

I just ordered a sandwich and there were two people working there. One person had on gloves and the other one didn't. I got the no gloves person making my sandwich. I get way more irritated with things like that then I do about masks/covid. People out on nature walks wearing masks, but then there are employees in restaurants not wearing gloves when they make a sandwich. I complained about it to my 9 year old who was with me and he said, she probably washed her hands. Sometimes you just hope for the best i guess.

Then how would you explain people getting covid multiple times?
