    If you are so scared of the virus, then stay at home. Let everyone else live a normal life without masks and sanitizers!

    Folks, we will get through this coronavirus pandemic, and we will be stronger having walked this path, if we keep faith in God, use common sense, practice good personal hygiene and let our God-given immune system do its job. Looking back over my 76 years, I’ve noticed that those who stay healthy generally exercise regularly, eat healthy, get enough sleep and have something outdoors they enjoy doing. Want to beat this virus? Get outdoors and get moving. Just saying…

    Citizens need to file a lawsuit to find out why masks were not mandated and no real quarantine was done at all by anyone. Someone needs to be held accountable for the lack of responsibility

    Please everyone, just wear a mask and we can take care of each other. This is no joke, please have respect for each other.

    Rufus you do know that out of 89000 cases only a little over 12000 were hospitalized , so the chance of being on a ventilator is extremely low . No need to be so dramatic as before you go all triggered on me . Yes I do wear a mask but it’s mostly to calm people like you. I don’t really believe the mask we can get work

    If you don’t like wearing a mask, you’re going to HATE the ventilator.
