Ok, name-calling aside SS, I'd be glad to argue about masks, since you are a MOD, I'll assume you must have SOME common sense. I think you guys are missing the whole point here. The problem is not whether masks work or not (they dont)- but its whether they should be MANDATED or not .OK, just for the sake of argument, let's suppose masks really do help reduce Covid in some way...they still should not be MANDATED. Do you understand how serious it is when your personal freedoms are taken away? If you wish to wear a mask, I would never be in favor of preventing you from doing so. Knock yourself out , wear a mask till the cows come home, but there's a big difference between that and passing unconstitutional edicts forcing me to do the same. Think of all the weird things people wear because they think it helps them: jewelry, religious items, protective pads, braces, supporters, even tin foil hats! Would you be in favor of any of these things being MANDATED?! I did'nt think so. Masks are more offensive than any of those things, as they interfere with your breathing! Blue state Governors drunk with power are passing these edicts only because you've let them. It's time to stand up and say NO! To sum-up, if people want to wear masks, have at it! Wear them for the rest of your life if you want, But as our early AMERICAN Gadson flag said: DON'T TREAD ON ME
