Forgive me if this is getting political or beating a dead horse, but I don't see why so many people have an issue wearing a mask compared to, say, driving drunk. Both are choices that can harm other people. One is universally shamed, the other has become a symbol of personal freedom.
What's the difference with someone who refuses to wear a mask while saying "I can control myself, I'll use common sense". Is that not similar to someone over the limit saying they will go the speed limit and pay extra attention? It's not like a person can control where their airborn droplets go and what they might infect. I've never seen someone argue "this is a free country and I'll drive after 5 beers if I want to!" |

Also, nobody is going around posting YouTube videos about how drunk driving deaths are just a government conspiracy. |

People were asked to avoid large gatherings but didn't, hence them being shut down. |

Dude what facts was I ignoring? You started talking about vaccines and I pointed out we don't have one and the group of people that discussed this didn't speak as if we had one. If we get one, great. Until then it's all talk.

For me, masks are like condoms. You want to have sex with someone? OK, fine. We won't prevent you from doing it, but at least wear a condom. It's not as comfortable. It's not as pleasurable. But it protects her a ton and you some. It's part of the bargain. |
