Mindful of spiking Covid infection rates, Government stream is issuing reminders about social distancing.

To be clear: Face masks should be worn as well whenever around others outside your household.

However, I was inspired to frame this meme a little differently after a discussion I had with a conservative who recognized the value of all the other social distancing measures but still couldn’t get on board with the face mask thing.

Well, if we can agree on all the other things too, then that is at least a start. I chose to emphasize the points of agreement and end the conversation on a non-confrontational note.

(But really. Wear the dang mask.)

9. Ignore all the above points because you can't be forced to do any of those dumb things

Riddle me this

1. Can the government force you to wear a seatbelt?

2. Can the government make businesses comply with health & safety regulations in general?

3. Irrespective of any legal requirements that may or may not exist, do we have any moral obligation to take reasonable precautions to reduce risk of infecting our fellow citizens curing a pandemic?

1. Not for adults, but all cars should have them fitted.

2. To a reasonable extent.

3. Yes, but you don't have to.

Unlike seatbelts, COVID masks are useless.

1. Okay, but you're wrong.

2. Okay.

3. You're wrong: see chart, the fact surgeons wear masks to reduce patients' risk of infection, and common-sense.

1. How is my stance on seatbelts incorrect?

3. I'm right. You're wrong.

It appears that your stance on seatbelts is correct only in the state of New Hampshire

Were you asking me for my opinion seatbelts, or what the actual rules are? Also, I don't live in the US.
