We have opened up a little, but places like restaurants are still at like 20 to 25% capacity; not much indoors. Some retail only allow a certain number of people in at a time. i just find it interesting because when I DO go out, mostly everyone is wearing masks...so I am convinced it's not necessarily a mask thing. Our hair salons, nail places are open. I've gotten my hair done a couple of times, but I haven't gotten a pedi, haven't gone out to dinner, I don't go to bars or clubs, etc It's a virus. It's going to go around. We will all get it sooner or later, IMO. Edited: My kids are also still distance learning. Not back in school until January, if even then.

What's wacky is California by far and away has the largest growth in new cases. It's fun when the state leaders can just stand in front of cameras and blame the populace for being naughty. YOU'RE not wearing your masks, so now we're going to shut down schools and kill restaurants. Meanwhile I can't recall a time in the last 6 months when I went into a store and saw a single person not wearing a mask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's because people think masks are a panacea when they only reduce transmission by about 20%. For some reason masks are always what gets debated. It's really a small piece of the puzzle.

jerryskids 6,838 Posted December 4, 2020 Biden ran on this as probably his biggest campaign issue. So he’ll do a bunch of initiatives which will have minimal effects — masks, distancing, close this, open that — then the virus will eventually run its course and start petering out. The media will say “all hail Saint Biden for saving us$#@!” And our next generation can go back to safely hooking up with sluts on Tinder or whatever they use these days. The end.

For some reason masks are always what gets debated. It's really a small piece of the puzzle. Agree with this. Ran into a classmate from HS and had a quick back and forth. I brought up Biden's "victory" rallies in some way. She basically said well you see all those people wearing masks. And masks are proven to help a lot. Ehhh....Im of the idea that the more you pump mask=good the more you have people think they can do whatever as long as they have a mask. Have seen videos of people shouting into a person face over putting a mask at a store. Its insane. They will get 1 goot from you but think if you dont have a mask you are a threat. Bonkers. There are people dumb enough that are wearing masks during an after bar hookup and think they are being safe. Not all. But many think masks are unstoppable.

The CDC says masks MAY reduce transmission. They are never mention alone,, as being a safeguard. Its always is combined with distancing and hand washing. And then on top of that, you have to wear a mask that fits tightly around your face, which most don't. Also, even with masks on, you should quarantine after being around someone less than 6 ft for 15 minutes. Cloth face coverings are a bureaucrats way to say "hey at least were doing something".
