70 years from now I predict future generations will look at the "I won't wear a mask" movement in the same way we look at people who cut the seat-belts out of their cars when they were first introduced.

Then I guess there's nothing wrong with repeated disappointments about important things. 
I choose optimism over pessimism all day long. I'm a happy person, and I'm very often not disappointed.

Right now, I'm disappointed in the stupid kids, and my wife, for a stupid move.

Also, stop making blatantly political posts.  I'll begin deleting once again.

Anyway, back on topic, just my anecdotal evidence but mask usage is WAY up in the small-town suburbs around Austin.  Austin proper has been doing really well, >80% in most indoor places I've been two weeks ago, and now since all of the new cases over the past few weeks, it's at or near 100%.

My suburb of Cedar Park might have been 30% 2-3 weeks ago, and it's up to 80%+ at this point.  People are listening, and most are willing to comply.

Also, Austin and all of its suburbs now have mandatory-mask orders when entering businesses.  San Antonio does as well.  Not sure about Dallas or Houston.

My mom made quite a few masks for my family back in March.  I've worn one every single time I've entered a business since then.  

When inside a restaurant or brewery, though, I've removed it while seated at my table.  Social distancing has been in place in all of those locations, tables spaced very far apart, and the majority of them I've been to, have been outdoors patio/biergarten type of seating.

Look at the map entropy just posted- specifically Florida.  It looks like a political map.  All the red areas are in and around large metro areas- where you are hard pressed to find a conservative.  A lot of protests in those areas though.

it seems to me it really is not as political as you make it out to be. It seems it has more to do with the age demographic. The age of those new cases in Florida continues to go lower and is now somewhere right around 30. 

do you honestly think young people in large metro areas in Florida are conservatives?

i live in a mostly conservative county- although there is a enormous influx of new permanent residents from the NE.  Either way- nearly everyone around here are in masks.

Here in Texico the highest concentration of viral spread is in the 20-29 age group.  It's definitely an age thing more than it is a political thing.

So that means, there's no need to make blatantly political posts on this thread.

I begin deleting with the next one. 

Thank you for your support.

It's a sorry state of affairs when both parties cannot stand beside each other during a pandemic.

Imagine if both parties were united on this from the start.  It wouldn't be political AT ALL.

Republicans should have taken this more seriously and urged caution from the beginning.  On the flip side, Democrats shouldn't have skewered Republicans for being slow to act.  I *think* most Republicans would have come on board eventually if they hadn't been forced to defend their position so much in the beginning.  Conservatives tend to move a little slower, be more cautious, and need a little more thought before acting.  However, if they get their heels dug in, nobody is more stubborn.
