Re: Out in SAV Ga yesterday & no masks seen except @ Walmart..

Uh oh, I'm shamed. Guess I've been told. Trust me, dude, I don't want to be near you with a mask more than you don't want to be near me without a mask. I'm not wearing a mask and if a store requires it then my money is just as good at the store down the road. This whole thing has been fake. The numbers are even real. They've added tens of thousands of cases that were never even tested and this non-sense that it equals out because there are deaths that aren't counted is the biggest crock. When someone dies they don't dig a hole in the back yard and throw the body in, nope the dead actually has to taken by the corner or a funeral home and don't think for a second they aren't getting tested. You mean Corners or funeral homes are that ignorant right now? I don't think so but there have been numerous deaths where the CDC has said it's alright to assume and presume so we know the number are fudge based on their own words. There has been NO evidence of these mysterious deaths not being counted. My father-law's mother passed not a week ago and she was given a test though we know for a fact she died of natural causes because she had been going down hill this whole past year. Plus don't get me started on the nursing home fiasco where untold thousands upon thousands were sentenced to death by horrible crocked evil Governors putting death orders out for nursing homes. If this was half as bad as they claimed you dang right I'd be wearing mask, gloves and a full body suit but it isn't. There have been SO many contradictory statements made you can't trust a word they say you just have to add up the evidence and the evidence I see say some of you have fallen hook, line and sinker for a media pandemic. When the "professionals come out after months of testing and say asymptomatic cases were not contagious then the very next day withdrew that statement you don't ask yourself after months of studies it only took them a few hours to re-study what took them months in just a few hours to come right back the next day and say "oh nevermind what we said yesterday". I know some of you think we live in a rainbow and skittles world but there are people out there evil people who have agendas and usually those agendas show themselves every 4 years or what others would call an election year. So quit with your mask shaming because science says that without a vaccine that young healthy people need to get the virus. Oh by the way there's a reason why almost all the positive cases in Clemson's athletic teams are asymptomatic. Like I said before and I'll say again. We need to protect the elderly and the sick just like during flu season and the rest of us need to go about our day NORMALLY.

Toby, I TUed you because this is the most reasonable tone I've heard from you for awhile.

I cannot speak for Aidan, with whom I agree much of the time, though it sounds like he has given up on caring.

But I can speak for myself and make observations about the hundreds of people I encounter every day in GA and SC at up to a dozen retail establishments.

Unless Blacks have started voting Republican, neither political party is wearing masks in public. I'm not sure why it's outrageous for white, fat and at-risk people to disregard the intent of the rule, but okay for Black, fat and at-risk people to disobey it entirely (as Bill seemed to imply). It's not. I realize it's inconvenient to carry a mask in your car, but come on people, if you can carry a DL, you can carry a mask and wear it inside.

Since I started reading this thread, I've watched >60 people walk into this Pilot store in Siloam, GA. No more than 18 were wearing a mask.

The biggest problem is that NO ONE CARES, BECAUSE WE ARE TIRED OF BEING TOLD WHAT TO CARE ABOUT, especially when the people who set themselves up as our social consciences have proven to be ignorant, inconsistent, incompetent or agenda-driven, and primarily live in 3 very liberal cities. AND THEN WE'RE TOLD WE'RE EVIL RACISTS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T EDUCATED OURSELVES ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR MORAL BETTERS HAVE TO ENDURE BY LIVING AMONGST US.

What a crock of you-know-what.

We're tired of being jerked around. We're not dogs on a leash, or oxen pulling the American Dream wagon while our betters ride in the back.

Southerners are counting on immunity. They are convinced they're going to have to build immunity somehow, so they might as well get Covid now. No one is addressing what the endgame will need to be if immunity doesn't last more than a few months, as some tests are showing.

But what then? If there is no such thing as long term immunity, will we ever start school, sports, church, or jobs again? Oh, protests are essential for our national public mental health, so we know we'll always have those, but what about activities that enable us to build our society instead of tearing it down? What credible sources are talking about this? And I'm not referring to Talk Radio.

If Covid is going to be like the T-Rex in Land of the Lost (an ever-present danger), why shouldn't we live our lives?

I get the mask and social distancing thing, becauseI don't want to endanger people I care about. But you've got to admit that the ever-moving goalposts make it hard to take some of their guidelines seriously.

**BTW, you might notice I followed the NYT policy of capitalizing the word "Black" when describing a person of color but did not capitalize "white". They sent me a long explanation of their rationale but i won't bore the bored with it unless someone asks for it.
