Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I don't think we should arrest or cite a person walking down the street with no mask.

I'm with you here. Some state and local governments have been on EPIC power trips since this entire corona bullshit started.

Not to mention- this thing doesn't really spread outdoors- it spreads INDOORS. It trips me out seeing people outside wearing masks when there aren't people within 200 feet from them or MORONS driving their cars completely alone wearing masks.

Besides, whatever happened to natural selection?

If some old as dirt people want to go out in public and walk around without masks- let them. If some 400 pound fat ass with diabetes or heart disease wants to go in public and walk around without a mask- let them. If some immune-compromised person wants to go out and about without a mask- let them. It's their choice. You know, they could keep their asses inside their homes and order UberEats, DoorDash, Instacart grocery delivery, Walmart grocery delivery, etc., etc..

It isn't enforceable.  The police are busy with stuff.

I thought we were doing nearly all of that, at least where we live...

I think we've been focusing a lot on what's "allowed" and less so about helping people trying to navigate living in this world with COVID. It's a more complicated message, but I find less discussion of how to live safely and more about what we can or can't do.

as long as they're walking down the street mostly maintaining social distancing and being respectful of others

a coast to coast mask mandate would also need good guidelines, and simple requirements with simple enforcement procedures

Yeah, most mask mandates that I've seen basically say you should always wear one when inside a building with others, and that you should wear one outside when you're unable to social distance. 

So, for example, when I walk the dog, I don't wear a mask. I can easily maintain 6' (and much more) distance from anyone in my neighborhood, so the mask won't be necessary. When I go to the golf course, I wear the mask when I approach the clubhouse, when I'm walking through the area to fill my bucket of balls for the range, and when I walk to a range stall. Because I'm not sure I can maintain distance. 

Not complicated.

Yeah, why does the world need fat or old people anyway? Ew.

More busy now in a lot of areas that have "defunded the police!" because crime rates have skyrocketed in those areas. Lol. Like did idiots really think if you get rid of police or put shackles on police that crime would magically just go down?

I am all for police reform. But do people honestly think police aren't necessary? Lol.

or could you imagine all the cells full of people that didnt wear masks?  then an outbreak form those being arrested because of no masks.  you would however gain herd immunity faster this way

no need to arrest decent folks for not wearing a mask

a simple citation would do.  After 3 of them, send them a fine to be paid.  $50 first and then double it to $100

folks that aren't decent, start freaking out and causing trouble with law enforcement or other decent folks should be arrested and fined immediately

We shouldn't change the way we live for at risk people. They can stay at home and take every precaution necessary. It's not my fault they are living longer than people were intended too bc of modern medicine or that some people are so god damn fat and undisciplined they can't put the big mac down and go hit the treadmill. These two groups are pretty much 90+% of COVID deaths.

The world doesn't need to end and the economy doesn't need to go down the tubes into a great depression because of them. They can stay at home.

The narrative efforts to make these problems always something that could affect others and not one's self have been an interesting hallmark of this event. I suppose I shouldn't be bothered by leading without a shred of empathy, but it does always feel weird just the same.
