Even if the evidence is what it is with COVID now, where some news says they don't work. I'm trying to understand if there is a line for some people or if it is genuinely about being told what to do and nothing more?
Sure, that would be cheap insurance against a significantly more deadly threat. I was on board with flattening the curve to allow hospitals to ramp up ICU capacity. I stayed home as much as possible and wore a mask in public months ago, before it was mandated anywhere...in fact, the CDC was saying it wasn't necessary. I still put on a mask where required by law or store policy and don't make a scene.

Where they started to lose me was when "flatten the curve" morphed into "cancel everything forever until there's a vaccine" and the virus became politicized. Kids need to be back in school, people need to be at work, and life needs to go on. I'm not going to live in fear.
So now you just wont wear a mask because fuck you?
I misread/skipped over one of your comments.

Thank you for wearing a mask where you should.

Carry on
I walk by signs that say "masks strongly encouraged" all the time, so you can still be mad at me.

"I won't wear a mask because I refuse to live in fear" is such horseshit. Nothing about wearing a mask equates to living in fear.

I'm not actively trying to get it, but I'm not willing to drastically alter my lifestyle long-term over something that amounts to a slightly-more-deadly version of the flu.
It’s also more infectious, so the idea is you get the sand out of your pussy and wear a little bit of cloth over your face and avoid close contact whenever possible, because it’s really not a big deal to do that.

COVID is also significantly more than "slightly more deadly" than the flu but mac is a world-class dipshit so I think mortality vs. case-fatality rate is beyond his grasp.

Nah, you guys all remember how we celebrate the annual “150,000 American deaths” benchmark from the flu. It’s usually in late July. Dumb cuck libs will probably cancel it this year.

Love that day. There are parades. Kids get a present for every 200 people that died that day. We build floats themed around things like lasting lung tissue damage in some mild cases, and the fact that we don’t know the long term ramifications for survivors because there aren’t any long term survivors to study yet.

Don't forget we also get 150,000 flu deaths every year while most people are staying in their homes.

After the past 60 days of the verb account, that is what finally does it?
