Any different than having to wear a seat belt or shirts and shoes in a dining or shopping establishment. Hell no one is going to die if you go naked at the beach... Previous Message It doesn't help. This was the consensus of everyone before April 2020. These model based estimates crack me up. To get a model published through the peer-review process, typically takes months or even years. Yet these guys are pumping them out in a few weeks and we are supposed to take them as the gospel. Its a joke. Even if these guys are 100% correct, is the personal freedom of 330 million Americans worth more than the 45k lives that could be saved by masks? Yes, I think so. This nonsense is having a significant detriment on the mental health and well-being of society. I take a look at the grocery store and I am amazed that we are living in the United States.
