Making a minuscule sacrifice (wearing a mask) to help some folks doesn’t violate any freedoms.
You fired off a bunch of numbers, but how many would have to die for you to care enough to shut down the economy briefly, what’s the number? If someone (or multiple people) close to you died would that change your perspective at all?
You know what else works?
Cut the sugary crap out of your diet. Exercise and maintain a healthy BMI. Eat non-processed food. Quit smoking and slow down on the booze.
The government wants to keep harping on bandaid measures without actually addressing the real problem: the majority of American adults are
not healthy despite being warned for decades by medical professionals. We have had an ongoing healthy crisis for many years, way before COVID-19, causing many people to die each year and most probably never noticed. This virus is just a new face and both the leftist media and politicians have capitalized big time on it.
Yes, COVID-19 is serious but have you seen the numbers on heart disease?? They are not even in the same ballpark, not even close. If the government actually cared about the safety of the general population, then they would have been actively addressing those other issues.
I will wear the mask if it restores the flying public's confidence in air travel, but don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
