How does it make me an asshole if your not scared to go out? Wouldn’t you need to be worried for it to register that I’m not wearing a mask?
Take my comment on the flu as a frustration to our actions and containment on corona . Honestly on the flu we’re actually ahead in urging broad based vaccinations vs EU which doesn’t have as strong a policy .
I get government encroachment on freedoms but do you support rolling back indoor smoking and seatbelt laws too ? Masks are temporary and I honestly can’t figure out why it is such a big deal to wear one .
To respond to the next comment ... I’m not scared to go out . Not wearing a mask doesn’t make you a patriot . Makes you an asshole .

If a business I need to enter, requests masks... i wear it. If a business allows smoking, It's my choice to enter. I wear a seat belt when I Want...(or when I see a cop). Not wearing a mask out in the open DOES NOT make me an Asshole... but hey... if YOU think I'm an Asshole.... that's your right.
Wearing masks as an analogy to smoking is a great one . That’s why most states have passed laws against indoor smoking and why most states are requiring face masks for businesses.
Given 40+% of Americans are considered obese and 40+% have hypertension, the 90% of covid deaths are people who have underlying conditions and would have died anyway argument doesn’t hold much water .
How many of us would that include ?
Arizona (pop 7M) has comparable number of new covid cases as Europe .

I don't know how things work for you guys in Germany, but here in America, we love freedom, we're sick of being told what to do and how to do it, we're sick of watching the entire country suffer because of this governmental over-reach, and we're sick of some of the population in this 'free' country go along with it. Heaven forbid we actually let this virus take it's course and people become immune to it without being slaves to masks and government overreach and all this other bullshit that will cripple us indefinitely. I know it may be tough to turn off the screens that brainwash you, but there are actually people and communities out there that no longer give a fuck about this whole thing and are actually enjoying their lives, disobeying the mask mandates, and watching hummingbirds and flowers and life still goes on, America is still great, and FUCK anyone else that thinks otherwise. Just a thought.
I actually took the courage last night to step out of the house with my kids and NO MASK and NO SOCIAL DISTANCING and catch fireflies. I'm still alive if you can believe that. You should try it. Don't be scared. Get out there and be free. It's a tough first step, but there's a whole world out there once the media is turned OFF.
See the image . Asshole comment was referring to individuals who refuse to comply with mask rules and berate business owners for trying to protect employees .

Oh.. right.. lol... Honestly though... do you think All business owners really give a shit... or are they just scared of being shut down? They should have a choice... not an order from the State. We were in Big Bear a month ago... we entered a shop in the village and the lady says, "FYI, you don't have to wear those in here"... My whole family immediately removed them. I bought $50 of stupid shit for my kids just because I liked her so much and felt bad for how much business she has lost because of fear mongers.
The novel coronavirus isn’t the flu . It doesn’t have a vaccine . I’d guess that there is a large overlap between those that refuse vaccinations and those that don’t understand the need to wear a mask or social distance . Maybe 60k could be a lot lower too if we weren’t in our own way. No other country has these issues .

You'll forgive me but you don't get shit and clearly, you could never figure it out. YES, I would like businesses to have the right, the FREEDOM to run their business however the fuck they want. It's their business and on their private property - if you don't like it, DON'T PATRONIZE THEIR BUSINESS. As far as seat belt laws go, if you really need a law to convince you to wear one, you're a fuckin moron. Period.
nice. I RESPECT what ANY business allows or would require of me in order to shop there. What I don't agree with is the government or people like you demanding what I can and can't do.
Temporary. Lol that’s comical. That’s what they told us five fucking months ago. And yet here we are at this very minute.
You didn’t answer the question. If wearing a mask saves lives, why not wear one for the rest of your life? Do only lives saved from Covid matter?
You seem like a bright guy...you have to understand that there are a multitude of respiratory viruses that collectively kill tens of thousands (if not hundreds) of people every year. Now that the science is “clear” that masks saves lives, shouldn’t everyone wear one for the rest of their lives?
Or is it a numbers game? What number of deaths do you consider low enough such that you shouldn’t be burdened with wearing a mask? I’m guessing the powers that be think 50k-70k is an acceptable number of casualties (bad flu season) since they are unwilling to say that everyone should mask up during flu season.
There is a sad irony to all of this. If 95% of the entire population wears a mask for the next 2.5 months, it is only estimated to save between about 15k-30k lives through October...in other words, much less than half of the number of people who die from the flu each year.
So, I ask again, are you committing to wear a mask for the rest of your life? If not, why not? MASKS SAVE LIVES!

Awesome man. I just participate on this thread to understand how you and others feel about this situation . Helps me understand decision making by others who don’t share my point of view .
I’m not ‘demanding’ that you do anything .
Happy for you that you live in a low incident area and so far have been able to do what you do without repercussions .
