The purpose of these masks us not to protect the person wearing it, as I believe you know very well.
So Mr. I-Don't-Believe-Anything do you not eat fruits and vegetables because you don't believe any studies referencing positive impacts to human health

Hard for me to take people like you seriously given in my job we make serious business decisions based on studies and data.

Masks protect the wearer because it reduces your inoculum viral load giving your immune system time to mount a balanced response and avoid cytokine storm. Which happens when your immune system is caught off guard and overwhelmed.

But because you don't read or believe studies I'm sure you didn't know that.

BTW - I will wear a mask:
a) if a local business requests it
b) if I walk down a crowded aisle and everyone else is wearing a mask (just to be polite:-)

Appreciate you confirming conditions there and reinforcing why I don't want to live south of Mason Dixon. (Let alone visit)

I will continue to wear masks only when in public, at businesses/travel that requires it.

If there comes a day where I have the choice between two businesses (grocery stores for example) where one requires masks and one does not, I will actively avoid the business that still requires masks and will shop at their non-mask competitor.

That makes zero sense sorry......

Show me a study that says that and that is 100% verifiable......

Again, who is supposed to be leading the country. Remind me again?


Thanks for trying to put words in my mouth because you are unable to argue the point, just making stuff up about me, and pointing at folks who arent actually leading the country. Pathetic.
Trump did everything he was legally able to do under the Constitution.

Had Hillary been POTUS, the same would be true.

So now you're saying the POTUS, whichever party they may be affiliated with should ignore the USCon and just dictate how Americans run their lives. The governors of the blue states are doing a fine job of that, and it seems to be wearing a bit thin on the nerves of those living in those blue areas at this point.

This isn't me putting words in your mouth. This is you saying things, leaving others to comprehend those words. Learn to express yourself more succinctly and perhaps a clearer message might be interpolated.

With that said, please tell me WHAT more, exactly Trump could have done. Within the parameters of Constitutionality.

Haven't worn one and won't ever. PERIOD. The poor workers at WalMart don't even stop me anymore and ask where my mask is.
