I don’t believe in masks outdoors and I wear one indoors reluctantly or on an airplane. If you want to wear it fine, but at least - I beg you - take proper hygiene when it comes to wearing them. Many people wear one mask for days, even weeks! They don’t wash them.
This virus is definitely real though the deadliness is very much overblown, masks should be an individual choice and not a mandate, and our elected officials are relishing this opportunity to become very oppressive.
The deadliness is overblown, but the long term effects are not. Make no mistake, this disease is nothing to laugh at. It's more serious than the 2009 swine flu, which was equally nothing to laugh at- it killed a lot of people, but we didn't shut down society for it, and we shouldn't shut down society for COVID.
The shutdowns cause far more damage than the virus will. It's tyranny and oppression, plain and simple. People can take care of themselves. Trying to impose centralized control over millions of people goes about as well as historically you'd expect it to.
