To have an infection rate you have to have sick people. All we are doing is slowing down the inevitable and dragging it out. Wearing a mask reduces the chance of infection but doesn’t eliminate it as you suggest.

If you admit it reduces the risk of infection,why wouldn't you wear a mask? I don't get the logic here.

Wearing a mask will reduce infection enough to resume some semblance of normal life. Not wearing them leads to this stop-and-go crap. It's not hard to understand for logical-minded people. Based on your posting activity, you do not seem to be one of those.

This is just like the liberal shaming pressure placed on those Governor’s in TX and Fla by liberals. I’m sure y’all have been in those states to watch pressure from liberal media.

Count how many times you use the word "liberal" (or "***** liberals") in your posts.

It must be such a sad existence to constantly blame a particular group of people for everything you don't like in life.

We don’t hide. I am so tired of hearing this argument. Just wear a mask in public. I would go to a movie with a mask on right now. Things don’t have to shut down with a mask.

It is so selfish to hear people say they will not wear a mask to prevent the spread. My father is 75 in graet health but has bad asthma. He is staying away, but let’s protect the ones that can’t.

No hiding, just be smart.

No one should be embarrassed or for God’s sake any reason for not wearing mask. I have seen people wearing gamecock t-shirts in public. Duh, use the dang masks.

Liberals haven’t slowed my success one iota, in fact, I thrived in the Obama years. Thriving even more in the Trump years. The common denominator... I worked/work hard, and don’t blame others if I come up short, it’s on me.

Libs don’t take that approach. It’s always someone else’s fault. That, and a belief in God, are the two major reasons I’m a conservative.

haha unbelievable dude

every single liberal is just looking for handouts and doesn't want to work hard?

The founders of the world's biggest companies like Apple, FB, Amazon, Starbucks, Microsoft are all liberals. Guess none of them worked hard, just got handouts

You're a humongous clown

Can you please brag some more about your business and your success because I'm not sure everyone on the entire board has heard it enough

Holy mother of god that's impressive. You're an astonishingly great American. Aaron Tippin himself might even be a little jealous.

Feels good. Waking up daily is a gift, and supremely satisfying.

I enjoy seeing others work hard and succeeding, too.

Obviously, not every lib is this way, but the mantra is alive and well on the left.

If you actually knew me, you’d understand I’m very humble/giving. I also call out BS, and tell the truth. This is tough for some to hear, but you know where you stand with me.

The truth isn’t bragging. I’ve been blessed from God with opportunities in my life, and I took the reigns and ran my tail off to make it happen, against many odds.

It worked, and is working. All thanks be to God.

Masks are not a big deal to me.

Here's the thing - are we finally at a place where we know masks help? Because there has been conflicting data for a while. We seem to have zeroed in on that they do.

And one thing we absolutely CANNOT do is start shutting down everything. Bars - okay. Limit restaurant capacity? Fantastic. But shutting down everything does two things:

1) It crushes the economy, which is the engine that lets us fight this thing
2) It keeps people cooped up inside with nothing to do. I really worry about people's mental health. Would the Floyd/BLM protests have devolved into riots if people hadn't been cooped up for so long? I don't know. But it is something to consider.

And before anyone asks, the 'armed protests' about wearing masks are stupid.

There is no reason to shut down outside recreation (parks, etc).

I'd bet they are socially liberal but fiscally more conservative than they would even admit.

Once they have their wealth it’s actually better to be a liberal elite and not earn income. So raising taxes on production/income doesn’t matter anymore. Capital gain taxes and tax free bonds are their pathway.

Ok princess or prince, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

LOL. You sure did edit that response enough. Are you satisfied now?

Glad to see you embrace name-calling and childish antics towards those who see things differently than you do. Trump would be proud.

Conflicting data? Prove it. Masks work to slow the spread. It's simple and proven.

You actually started with just princess, then edited to add prince, before editing again to add a not-that-there's-anything-wrong-with-that disclaimer. What a good little snowflake you are to protect people's sensibilities.

In the future, you can say whatever you like. I'm not the offendable type, fwiw.

Is wearing a mask when you go to a grocery store hiding? Is hanging out with your friends in your backyard instead of crowding in a bar hiding? Restaurants\nightclubs\movie theaters, yes, it sucks to be them right now

Doesnt bother me. Im a home body by nature. I just hate it for folks trying to keep a business afloat.

Suicides up 50% the mentallly ill are the ones that are sacrificed by the liberal elites because they don’t vote. Old people do. Also many of the super wealthy liberals are over 50, so they are scared to come to their end. Heck @johnhugh made a joke about me being mentally ill with CTE. So yes liberals only want to save votes.
