that is how fascist do itI'm not forced to do anything I don't want to.Oh, bullshit.No.You don't get. Trump should be wearing a mask to set an example. They wouldn't let him in hospital without wearing mask.With the exception of N95 mask which have been professionally fitted, masks provide protection for others but very limited protection for the wearer. We knew that last March. The only way to stop or slow down an airborne epidemic without a vaccine is by putting a barrier between the carrier and others. Masks, distancing, and quarantining work well in slowing down transmission. Countries that follow the guidelines have done well. Those that haven't have done poorer.
In March there was a picture of Trump wearing a masks. However, after Redfield said they protected others not the wearer, we rarely saw Trump in a mask. I guess he though if didn't protect me, it was worthless. So many of our problems we face such as, coronavirus, poverty, homelessness, global warming, etc are due to a lack of social conciseness.
Trump and people around him are tested constantly. That's why he doesn't wear a mask. When he went to visit the VA hospital where strangers were around, he wore a mask.
We did all the things you've mentioned. I did it today. However in a free country with a Constitution, government cannot force you to act against your own will. So there will be plenty of people who don't believe in wearing a mask, consider themselves low risk due to age, or think a lot of this is BS based on the many stories out there of fudging the virus numbers.
On the other hand you see people walking or riding a bike, all alone with nobody around wearing a mask. Or they're in their car alone wearing a mask.
Look how dangerous illegal narcotics are. Do laws stop them from using these drugs? Hasn't it been amplified how dangerous they are? People still take the stupid drugs. Last year we lost over 70,000 Americans from ODs.
No, the government can force you to act against your will and it has done so. The idea that the constitution gives you the freedom to violate healthcare orders in an epidemic is nonsense. However this idea is why many thousands in this country have died. Personal freedoms have to be curtailed when not doing so threatens the lives of millions of people.
People die from the use of illegal drugs because they made a bad choice. Many people die of Covid-19, not because they made a bad choice but because others did. To me, that is one of the saddest thing about epidemics. You can do all right things and become sick because others don't.
You can believe what you want but you try to force that on others and you're going to get shot.
People are forced to do things they don't want to do everyday because some local, state, or federal regulation or law compels them to do so. In healthcare emergencies or state disasters state laws give governors all kinds of extraordinary powers to save lives.
I'm right here, doing my thing...... come and stop me.
(But we both know you won't, don't we? You will simply fume and try to get some proxy like LE to come after me and force me to bow to your will. And I will tell them to fuck off and laugh at how weak and pathetic your behavior is.)
