This bully style 'Fine, then just stay in your home for 5 months' narrative is just weird.
So I have one more question / comment on the actual observations of this sickness. How can you have some 40+% of people show NO symptoms? Assuming these were new viruses if you catch the measles you get the measles, if you were to catch polio you would show symptoms of polio, etc.
But with this new virus only a small percentage of people get sick? That's not logical. There absolutely MUST be another factor that comes into play. Only those with both, or more, factors get really sick.

Every action creates a reaction... All those scary weapons and narry an injury?
Surely on that AIDS denier anti-vax website you posted earlier they talk about asymptomatic carriers somewhere? Maybe an article where they sell you a miracle elixir to keep you from getting COVID-19?
It's the same as the person who goes into a store and coughs on people, or the people pulling firearms on workers in Stillwater, OK. There's exercising rights, and then being a threat to others.
They're probably the same people who will throw racial slurs at someone at work and then go 'Free speech' if they have consequences.
So...is this what I need to do if I want to go walk around in a park or go fishing?
Or do these types just have other issues to start? Gonna guess that latter.
Wearing a mask is a personal choice...period. I respect that choice. Don't look down on those who do, don't look down on those who don't.
I’m just going to say it again and otherwise frankly I’m going to give up.
The discourse here is extremely toxic and not providing any semblance of a discussion. You guys are just having a shouting match. Can we get back to having a robust debate about Coronavirus response?

What's the mind set behind not wearing one? I wear one because if it helps me or someone else stay healthy then it's worth a minor inconvenience.
It's my choice to look down at people who refuse to wear a mask in stores because they are being incredibly selfish and are only thinking of themselves. It's super neat to hide behind the it's my choice" BS though...
There's no debate to be had, it's purely ideological at this point. Nothing is changing fast enough in the short-term to carry a conversation.
The best debate will be after it's all over and the worldwide results are collected for comparison.
I’ve said I don’t wear one as I’m not showing any signs of being sick. At this time I find wearing one incredibly uncomfortable and find myself constantly adjusting it. I am of the opinion me touching things and then touching my face is worse off than me just keeping my hands in my pocket and trying to get in and out as quick as possible.
I also think that masks in the US prevent a false sense of security. I think if you are sick you should absolutely wear one. I think the US will eventually then culturally be able to handle them but I don’t think we are at this point in history.
How does one go about finding out if they are sick?
If you are showing signs of being sick. Obviously there is asymptomatic transmission but as I said I think the false sense of security and adjusting the mask I think is more likely to spread if someone doesn’t show symptoms. In an ideal world the US would be able to handle wearing a mask appropriately but we aren’t there. It isn’t a simple fix IMO.
We've known for months now that many people are going to be asymptomatic carriers of this virus and somehow we still hear people say "well I'm not sick...". How is this possible? Do you just ignore the part where you could have it and never show symptoms but be passing it to everyone you come near?
This is selfishness that you've apparently been able to justify to yourself, but it's still selfish.
IMO it's the same as requiring a shirt or no smoking in a place of business. it is necessary for the safety of the customers and (especially) employees.
