You have a good point but you have to be fair about it also. I'm going to go out on the limb and say:
For those that quarantined, the great majority did not get covid.
For those that practiced social distancing, the great majority did not get covid.
For those that wore a mask, the great majority did not get covid.
For those that got the vaccine, the great majority did not get covid.
And perhaps most importantly --- For those that got COVID, the great majority did not die.

Hard to take someone like you seriously. People that put their faith in face diapers don’t deserve an intelligent answer.
You mean people who graduate from medical school, residency and a fellowship who have access to any and all medical research pertaining to this subject? Yeah…you’re right. People like me…medical professionals…shouldn’t be taken seriously on a public health subject. The fact you call them face diapers speaks to your ignorance, intelligence and maturity. Talk about taking someone seriously…your hilarious.

Despite being true from a statistical standpoint. a whole lot of people have died from it.

For those who won’t wear masks (especially those who have not been vaccinated), why is it such a big deal to wear a mask or face covering? I know it’s hot…blah blah blah…but seriously, why do people refuse to do it when it can help put an end to this. Vaccinations are the best defense but if people choose not to have something injected into their bodies, that’s their choice. However, wearing a mask is not invasive and has no side effects. So I am asking sincerely why is it such a big deal?
Because you aren’t my responsibility.

See Dr. Fauci and Dr. Kevorkian. Don’t give a **** what degree you have. Don’t need one for common sense.

I'm betting we may see no one allowed at sporting events........based on the way things appear to be heading.
Dr. Fauci is sounding the alarm bells
Fauci chastised those attending the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally: "You’re going to get to do that in the future, but let's get this pandemic under control before we start acting like nothing is going on."
"I'm very concerned that we're going to see another surge related to that rally," Fauci said.
Fauci admitted that it was "understandable" that people "want to do the kind of things they want to do," though he called on rallygoers to consider their impact on the spread of COVID-19.
"There comes a time when you're dealing with a public health crisis, that could involve you, your family, and everyone else that something supersedes that need to do exactly what you want to do," Fauci said.
Very few people I simply want to beat to death. Fauci is one.

Who cares? If you are scared stay home.
Who said anything about being scared? I simply asked a question. If you don’t have an answer or don’t want to answer then no need to respond.

I couldn’t care less if you care about me or my health…but I would hope to God that you care about someone other than yourself.
I am just glad you care enough for all of us so I don't have to waste my time.

No need to spread your ******** either.
What ******** am I spreading? I not once judged anyone or told anyone what they should or shouldn’t do. I simply asked a question about why wearing a mask is a big deal to some. Damn man…chill out.

Funny how the "My Body, My Choice" is applied to legalized genocide that would make the combined efforts of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao Zedong envious but yet, it doesn't apply here.

Sorry, but the entire "caring for others" virtue signaling act rings rather hollow ... and for good reason.

It sounds rather ridiculous actually.

Absurdly hypocritical ... and ridiculous.

But thanks for the amusement ... and reminder of how insipid lemmings are.

Maybe not me…but others are. Sounds a bit selfish really.
Honestly, I’d have more inclined to get vaccinated had there actually been a statistical reason to do so. I’d probably be much more inclined to do any of the precautionary stuff had there not been the attempt at shaming people into compliance on one hand and then excusing it in another. The CDC literally said protesting was ok last summer while trying to prevent family gatherings and other types of events. Itching about Sturgis, but Obama gets a pass. I’ve no interest of care how society fares in this. Do what you feel is best, I’ll do what I feel is best. Show me the same courtesy of ambivalence towards my decisions as I give you in yours.

For my age group, there isn’t a statistical concern. For the age groups that have a statistical concern, take the appropriate measures, to and including vaccines, social distancing, etc.

The vast majority of face coverings used aren’t N95, they’re the equivalent of a tshirt. It’s a placebo response for public hysteria and it’s ineffective. The data bears that out. So, feel free to do what you want, I encourage you to do so. Just don’t rely on me to keep you safe. You’re not my responsibility and I literally do not care what happens to people I don’t know.

Now that’s hilarious. Some of you are so defensive. I didn’t say you should or shouldn’t wear a damn mask. I was simply trying to get answers as to why some won’t. I have a prescription for Xanax with your name all over it.

Finally!!! A legit answer to my question. And I agree some of the “masks” people wear are useless. Others are not. Cloth masks with filters are better than nothing and I know not everyone has access to N95’s. I didn’t intend to incite these responses. Just trying to get a idea as to what people’s opinions are. Kinda the opposite of a Karen really.

For someone who doesn't care, you seem to care a lot. Try women.

Yet these are what the overwhelming majority of people wore. Compliant, but ineffective, so, what’s the point?
The point is…if people had access to masks that have been shown to be effective, would that change their viewpoint on wearing them?

Respiratory viruses will be around as long as there are humans. No mask or "vaccine" will eradicate them. Wear a mask if it makes you feel safer. Get the vaccine to possibly lessen certain symptoms if you are compromised. The "vaccine" does not prevent transmission, as evidence is showing, nor does it keep you from getting the virus. Same with the masks.

Perhaps information should be given out at the stadium on how to strengthen your own immune system rather than continuing this never-ending war on covid. Live your life, people!

You had me up until this -> " I literally do not care what happens to people I don’t know."

What a sad statement.

Not for me. I knew the appropriate type of mask to wear, I chose to wear my fishing sun gator, which is less protective than the tshirt masks.

This is a country built on individual Liberty and laws. You want true compliance with masks? Make a law to force me to comply. Otherwise, I’ll defer to what I want to do making my own risk based decisions. And based on the science, there is far less risk involved with COVID for me and my family based on our ages and health status than there is in many of the activities I do.

And full disclosure, everyone in my house has had it, except me, and we didn’t quarantine the infected in the house from the healthy. We made a conscious decision to live a normal life while staying home so as to not negatively impact my kids mental health and stability. We taught them one more instance of overcoming adversity through determination and self reliance. They’re being taught to not rely on society, to think, act, analyze, and do for themselves.

I’ve long since ceased caring about the society I was so willing to give my life for. Most don’t deserve it or appreciate it. I want nothing more than to live my life my way. I’m not sure why that’s so hard for people to respect.

Wow…ok…so you knowingly put others health and lives at risk. I guess you made your point and nobody is going to tell you what to do. And full disclosure, I’m not trying to either.

Just a quick question though…do your liberties matter more than those who you knowingly put at risk for severe illness or death? Kinda like having unprotected sex with someone knowing you have Herpes or HIV.

People should recognize there are people out there like me who don’t care about you and take the appropriate measures. Wear your mask, socially distance, get vaccinated. I encourage you to do so if you feel it necessary. You’re not my responsibility. I don’t concern myself with what happens to you. It’s really pretty simple. Make a new law if you don’t like it, until then, people like me, and we’re in great numbers, exist, and we’re not going to comply.

I for one, and I know many others, are grateful for the men and women like you that put your life at risk for all of us. I did not serve. I would have. I have many family members that did both via enlistment and the draft, and we have lost members of our family as a result.

I agree with you that many do not appreciate it.....which leads me again to "sad statement" as it is hard for me, and I know you, to wrap my head around. However, I think that we should all try to do our best for each other even if those that will benefit from it do not. If we continue the path of 'me' society things are only going to get worse.

Again, thank you for your service to our Country which has provided opportunities for me. For my family. I don't know you......but I will do my best for you. I think we would all be better off if we all did the same for each other.

You’re correct but the key word you said is ‘current.’ There are several venues across the country that are starting to implement masks outdoors with large gatherings (I haven’t read the exact number). I bet if things don’t start getting better, Shane will implement a mask policy before he will cut capacity.
If he implements a mask policy he will cut capacity.

You’re 100% correct. There are people like you and I don’t like it. It’s the reason we are still even talking about COVID almost two years after it started. It’s the selfish and careless beliefs and actions of some who don’t care how it affects others that make me sad about our society. I’m not talking about masks. Again, I never once said if I feel like masks should be mandated or not. So please by all means keep living by the letter of the law. I’m guessing you don’t wash your hands after you take a dump either? You shouldn’t because there is no law that says you have to.
