Keep wearing your masks, as much as it sucks. It sucks even more when it gets warmer/hot outside. But, just do it.

Not sure why this isn't promoted more and fought less...  people want lives to go back to as normal as possible.   A mask is a bridge.

The story wasn't clear on the matter, though.

I think there is no real choice but to protect the vulnerable to the extent rational, encourage people to wear face masks when in crowds and stay home if mildly sick, and get on with it.  Sweden was not a catastrophe.

I'd say wearing masks should be required when indoors (not at your home) or in outdoors with crowds.   Walking your dog=no mask.   We know it works.  People need to get over the fact that they suck.   It's not a forever proposition.

It was better than the day prior for FL. Tuesday was highest count ever, but was much lower on Monday (of course).

Positivity rate is hovering at around 4 percent, which is up a little.

Deaths are way down. 6 people died Tuesday, bringing the total to 3,018.

Illinois had 87 deaths on Tuesday, bringing its total to 6,507.
2700 new cases reported today, versus 2500 the day prior. Tuesday revised to 11 deaths. 5 deaths yesterday. Hospitalizations are generally flat, with a lot of capacity available.

That's what I don't get, they need to be enforcing it.  Every store has a sign up saying you must wear one, or you won't be allowed in, and 95% of the people are, but there's always a couple asshats who aren't, with no repercussions.

I picked up pizza from a local place, and one customer wasn't wearing one.  I kind of get that small businesses like that are in a bad position to enforce it (and it sucks that a-holes out there make them make that choice), but larger chains, like Lowes or Target, absolutely should be able to.

No orders. Strongly encourage old folks over 65 and those with weakened immune systems to stay home, but don't force anyone to do shit. Literally 74% of coronavirus deaths were 65 or older. Another 23%+ were those 45 or older. Less than 1% of deaths were 0-18 years old. And not even 3% were 18 to 44.

We stop being a bunch of little pussy ass pansies and power through it. That's what we do.
This.  Stop relying on the government to make your decisions for you.

This is a gross oversimplification of the world and I find it annoying.

It's simple...

Masks aren't magic. Masks won't 100% prevent you from getting the virus. They won't 100% prevent you from spreading the virus. They will help, but no guarantees.

So the goal isn't to analyze this from the "me, me, it's all about me" perspective of "should I wear a mask based on my own personal risk profile?"

The idea is if we ALL wear masks, then we'll inhibit the spread greatly. And if we inhibit the spread greatly, we'll protect those vulnerable populations much more effectively than telling them to go hide in their homes--because they need food, they need to go to doctor's appointments, etc. They're going to interact with the public to some extent, even if they're trying to minimize it.

It's about helping the rest of us, not just yourself.

Yeah, too many think  the face mask is to protect the wearer, and they get to where they don't care and stop wearing it.  There is a lot of resistance to wearing one from some folks.  I understand they fog your glasses and can be hot, but I wear one any time I'm around a lot of people.

  I'd love to be shirtless and have no shoes, but we all agree with that standard when entering most businesses.   This is temporary.  I think people, in general, are assholes.   We were born bad and have to work at being good.

I think people, in general, are very nice.  The problem is we tend to remember the ones who are not, or who act badly.

But we all agree to live in this society so there are times when we have to sacrifice for the common good.

Businesses need to require masks, and enforce it, even if the government isn't mandating it.  We the people need to make businesses understand this is our expectation of them.

In Michigan that might get you shot.
