I won't declare my political associations but I will declare that I would rather wear the stupid mask than get sick and die from a stupid virus.

I wear a mask when I go into places the require it. Better to be safe than SORRY

And I have noticed that people are buying up toilet paper and paper products since the media has been talking about another lock down.

Unless events take a really awful turn, I doubt there's a move back to a lockdown. It seems the folks who are following the guidelines and taking precautions are generally doing okay, while others acting in a risk-on manner are taking it in the shorts. If that persists, a Darwin approach might be warranted (and found to be acceptable).

Shaaaaaame Shame....You can repurpose those old masks as TP!

Corona virus has proved a great test iN germ warfare 2 world leaders got it. Maybe more il unaware off. Numbers are published daily. Constant press conferences given how we can’t make a cure yet. You plant the seed and let the rest of the word write your hypothesis

Not really; actual germ warfare (biological warfare) we'd be looking at a 10% or less survival rate and a total collapse of everything.

I believe in masks. Just got back from a week just north of OKC in Edmond (still in Oklahoma county). Saw lots of people not wearing masks, including oldsters. Around the college no mask worn at all by students.

Restaurant and store clerks all wearing masks and some stores require them (Lowes, Cracker Barrel). Yet, their confirmed cases /deaths / and new daily cases is 2 to 2-1/2 times higher than Jackson county (KCMO), were mask is required and everyone wears them and Jackson county is larger in population. I believe in masks.

It's unfortunate that it (1) has to be proven and (2) that many still do not believe.

Maybe it will take a Darwinesque intervention.

I don't want to be part of the Darwin group.
I;m old enough that I will probably die from
some stupid thing that will be my fault but
I don't want it to be a virus.
So I wear a mask.

Avoid buses.

The last time I was on a bus was when I went to an event that the high school band I directed was participating.
I retired in June of 1999. Buses have never been something I wanted to ride but sometimes could not avoid.

That thought has come to mind many times when seeing "no mask" people in public, but they'll be the 1st to ask for help when they get it and overload the system again.

Son and daughter-in-law frequent a very good (their words) community farmers market. Owner doesn't wear a mask or require it. When the daughter-in-law ashed "why not", the early 40's owner said "they're not taking away my rights". But, my own son and daughter won't wear them or put them on their kids, because they say it's a hassle, so what can I say about others?

Yet, mom and dad will be the ones to pay the price if anyone gets it. Very sad.
