    @Theresnovacine… Could you provide a source for the statement about deaths from other causes decreasing? I’ve heard several people say this, but everything I read seems to contradict that.

    Today I went to the grocery and I was the only one wearing a mask. _none of the workers were wearing and none of the customers. Our doctor told us today via telehealth that the virus is still being seen in Amore. Please everyone _wear a mask if not for yourself then think of those people with health problems that could die within 24 hours if they got the virus

    Wear a mask if you want to. Id much rather worry about what im touching and walking on. I for one gotta put faith in my own bodys ability to fight it off. We can’t shut the world down for an illness. And not everybody is going to wear a stupid mask around its just the way things are. If your body cant right it off then wear one and protect yourself. I still think the crap is blown way out of proportion. Look at the deaths from heartattacks , pneumonia and other things. They have went way down. Did people stop having heart attacks and other things? Nope. They had to get misdiagnosed.

    some willing to give their life for their fellow Americans, others won’t even wear a mask —– how hard is it to do?

    As long as people keep claiming ” my freedoms!” and don’t wear masks and no enforcement exists. Expect these numbers to double daily
