Attractive and average looking women to whom I am not related should offer to give me a blowjob when they see me in public. This will improve my mental health and keep them far enough from my face that I won't accidentally infect them should I happen to have COVID.

It's the least they can do, it'll only take them a couple of minutes more than finding a clean mask, and it's not going to hurt them.

I commend you for being honest about your selfishness and ignorance.

What if living my truth says everyone is better off getting this and developing herd immunity . No mask needed . Tough it out bro .

SO MANY CASES

That would wreck our economy. The US social safety net is not structured for a highly contagious illness to work its way through the workforce. We don't have the paid sick leave or widely accessible affordable medical coverage.

When you're arguing the same side as Spaulding, RFDC and Caller Bob that is a huge warning flag.

Oh, ok. Well , better wear those masks until 2030 or something then. Spaulding gave you one of the best paddlings ever administered on this board a few months back so I don’t know if I’d be hanging my hat on that logic there Ace.

Hopefully not. An effective affordable treatment would be great. A vaccine would be best.

at this point with all of the vaccine promises in the headlines theyre not going to give up the masks until the masses are injected. it sucks, its stupid, but its whats happening.

I agree, but what if those never come about? What if this thing is around us forever and we just have to live with it? Do we wear masks all the time? I don't have a problem with wearing one now and I supposed to the upcoming flu season but if I try to go to a Sox game in 2021 and you're going to make me wear a mask to get in that's ridiculous.

We shouldn’t give up wearing masks indoors or in groups after 3 months. Seems a little premature to be omg I’m just done, I just can’t with required mask usage in specific situations.

What if they look stupid?

Damn, you’re right. Good point

Then you agree with me. I said I'm okay with mask wearing for the most part through the upcoming flu season. By the time we get to next spring, nobody should be REQUIRED to wear a mask anywhere that is not a hospital or some other sort of medical facility.

We don’t have accurate information on deaths, cases, or any other statistic. The media and both political parties have been a hysterical mess.

The illness itself is odd. Who gets it? (although it’s still mostly older people) When? How severe? Every places’s results have been different but not really dependent on the solution applied.

The rules we are making up are arbitrary and I’m not sure of their effectiveness. Restaurants and gyms especially. I’m concerned about how long we may have to follow them and how negatively it will effect our society.

I think long term we are opening up the government to dictate what happens with us medically or because medically and I see that as an infringement on rights. Vaccinations, privacy issues, ability to work are all at play in the future. Essential/nonessential is/was/never will or should be for them to decide especially if “they” are doing what “they” want. The education issue is going to be a huge one, I hope they get it right, I have little confidence they will. “Their” kids will be educated and well educated.

From my perspective, you are selfish. I make no demands nor do I publicly shame people for their thoughts or actions. You want to wear a mask, fine. You don’t, fine. If you are that uncomfortable being around no masked people or out maybe you should consider staying home and not imposing your values on anybody else. I’m perfectly happy to let people be in charge of themselves, and their health. I think it’s dangerous to make laws or rules you can’t enforce and you are seeing the conflicts. If you take them off at 18 months but somebody feels that's premature are you selfish.

Wisconsin might be as high as 75% mask free in restaurants and grocery stores from what I have seen. IL is like a different world from them. I don’t think this is as bad as you do. It’s not selfish, I see the same data and have interpreted it differently.

If you want to have a discussion I'm open to having one. This seems to be emotional rather than scientific for you. That's fine, but at least you could return the honesty.

I think the economy will be fucked by shutting down.

Yeah.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

I know it's bad. I just think the media scares people into thinking it's worse than what it is.

Maybe I'm wrong.

But I know I'm frustrated.

That right there is something. Well done, Spaulding

athletic clothing is banned in night clubs because they signal trouble. we need to ban them EVERYWEHRE.

masks prevent not only coronavirus but ALL viruses. why cant we just require everyone to wear them all the time? i can do it, so can everyone else just make it a law!

the gyms one is absolutely a joke. their entire purpose is to promote health. you keep people away from that, more will suffer and die. but at least we still subsidize corn sugar and love mcdonalds.

Don't I know it. I'm so fat and have drank more in the last 3 months than in 10 years I bet.

My drinking has been up as well over the last 2 months.

It's a fucking stressful time for everybody.

but its self inflicted. we could have ignored it like the "stupid" republicans wanted to. or at least promote sanitation and basic measures... but this whole shutting things down and freaking out about it so you pit half the country against each other has done more damage than the virus itself.
