Let’s do it forever, I don’t care.
Coincidentally - It doesn't have to be forever if the candidate who believes in science gets elected....

How's that for freedom - Imagine that!

Only because businesses require it, otherwise I wouldn’t. I’d rather catch the virus, recover and move on. But I actually don’t mind wearing it outside when it’s cold, kinda like a scarf.

My liberty is much more infringed by protective tariffs than mask orders.

I'm like you. We need to go out and take a deep breath and get this BS over with.

It's already been established THERE IS NO PERMANENT IMMUNITY TO THE VIRUS.

If I recover the first time, I assume I’ll recover the second.

I wear a plastic face shield where face coverings are required. I have not worn an actual mask for 3 months since I started with the face shield. I have never been turned away anywhere and I get questions about it from people wanting to know where to get one all the time. Much easier to breathe. I do think face coverings help. Not as much as Democrats say but as little as Trumpers say. And I have read studies on it and face shields are better for the wearer than most masks outside of N95. Nothing is getting through that plastic. If you pass through aerosoled covid it will not make it past the plastic. I see more and more people wearing them of late. I bought 2 for $15 and still on the first one. Very durable. I see more and more wear them but still less than 10% of the public. And when you wear one you don't think about taking it off ASAP or using it as a chin diaper like many do. Chin diapers do not protect you at all.

I really don't the lemmings who are the vast majority just put on a mask and don't think about alternatives.

The people I have heard about who got it twice got it worse the 2nd time. Not sure why.

COVID is a stupid name for a virus. I think it should be called the "Emmanuel Goldstein" virus.

Or perhaps just the Wuhan virus.
