In a free society facing viral crisis, effort must be made to persuade the populace of the necessity of the measures imposed, and the citizens should be treated as valued employees performing the national 'job' of fighting the virus. Couple those notions with the pledge to not impose more restrictions than essential, and you make the difference between a populace persuaded to exhibit the resolve to work together, and a populace forced to comply on pain of consequence. And if you're in a populace forced to comply, telling you that your despair or lack of opportunity is 'tough nuts' the sell gets even harder. |

I hate that wearing a mask or not is somehow now a political statement.
Do you people not want to watch Patrick Mahomes play football in the fall or something? Not wearing a mask will help contribute to doing that. And if I can't see Patrick Mahomes play football, I'm going to hate all of you. |

Chest-thumping is now a prophylactic.

Ahahha yeah. I find myself talking less. Like I was going to say something to someone, and I was like....nahhh. I can talk in it just fine...but it makes me want to talk less. So I appreciate that.

I also wanted to point out for the Brazil talk, they are also testing in small numbers so their numbers spiking is a really bad sign. They have a ton of people, lots of poor that live right on top of each other, they're 3rd in cases with a testing number that is 11 times less than the US...
The other place that will likely see this happen is India, their testing is also very sparse and they've risen to 11th in cases. |

I just wear my hospital scrubs everywhere and people can’t get away from me fast enough , not having to talk to random women about their irregular periods is a nice bonus from this.

Individuals vary almost infinitely.
My sister has asthma, and can't complete much of any tasks in a mask. So she just stays home. My aunt is deaf and relies on lip reading for a big part of her communication. So this is like her own BirdBox hellscape. |
