How can you prevent the spread of a deadly infectious disease on the honor system?
I went to Home Depot Monday and noticed that none of the employees were wearing masks anymore. Same thing yesterday in Walmart. Then I went outside and noticed that the "You must wear a mask to enter the store" has been replaced with "Fully vaccinated can enter without a mask".
So who checks to see if everyone without a mask is fully vaccinated? Is there a sensor on the door that goes off if someone cheats?
This just proves to me that this disease wasn't as much of a threat as they made it out to be. If it was a real pandemic you wouldn't have been allowed to go back to business as usual on the honor system. You wouldn't have had people rioting in the streets last year and this year without having them herded into isolation facilities to keep them from spreading the disease. You wouldn't have states opening up when their governors are caught slamming pizza with more than 6 of their friends in confined spaces...or the president changing mask and social distancing guidelines conveniently because he wants to change the subject from his horrible handling of the economy, the Southern Border, or because he's causing wars in the Middle-East.
The fact remains that most people can't be trusted to do the right thing. (Some more than others) You cannot leave an issue like this to the honor system because the disease is supposedly so deadly. I'm not advocating a vaccine pass or anything like that, but I am stating what should be obvious. Either everyone wears masks or nobody does unless they want to. A mask has never prevented anyone from catching COVID (just ask those who caught it). I just figure that if you know you are sick...wear a mask. If you're not sick....you shouldn't have to wear one. They've been doing it like this in every Asian country I've been to. If they have a cold or the flu many of them still go to work....but they wear a mask.
