[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1656589, member: 14585"] At this point in the pandemic Mask Shaming and finger pointing accomplishes nothing. On average pandemics last 18 months - A Very Long Time. Recap March 16 told if everyone would shelter in place for 14 days the spread would end. A reasonable assumption and request - 21 day lockdown order didn't do it. April projected 3-4% death rate - based largely on data of elderly patients. Flatten the Curve - to buy time to find a cure and prevent overwhelming healthcare systems. A side effect of flattening the curve is extending the pandemic timeline. Perhaps from 18 months to 36 months - A Very Very Long Long Time. North & South Dakota lead the nation with 11.5% infection rate, yet are well below the national 1.77% rate of death with 0.89 - 1.33% Dr Mike Osterholm U of Mn probably was the closest in prediction when he said back in March, a pandemic is like a tiger. And we are riding a tiger not driving it. Until we reach 2/3 by infection or vaccination the pandemic will be here. I wear a mask, even though it only helps in poorly ventilated confined areas. Social distancing is more important bcs of all of my risk factors. But perhaps those who don't wear a mask are heroes helping to get the herd to 2/3. :) P.S. Everyone I know who has had covid were mask wears. Perhaps anti maskers are too ornery to get sick :) or they would all be dead. [/QUOTE]
