No wonder they trust their govts over there. Their governments make considered and rational statements. If they decide soon that masks indoors and on public transport are worth a try... even though the science is missing... that might be reasonable too. Covid is exploding there even worse than it is in Canada. I can't be sure its not going to crest soon... it may... but if not they are going to wish they had gotten to herd immunity over the summer.
oxen.... just rereading and noticed my typos. lost a few bucks today... I should spent more time here checking my typing and less time initiating trades.
Anyone who makes an issue about the mask falls in the COVID is a hoax family? What a load of complete and total horseshit. You know, just because people see the world in a different light than you do doesn't mean they are wrong. The arrogance is astonishing. Here are the numbers for Florida since the pandemic began. As of 9/27. If you are under 65, you have a .001632 chance of death from COVID. And, by the way, this is judging the deaths/cases with the case count being verifiable, tested cases. It doesn't count all the people who weren't tested and had COVID, which means the actual number is much, much lower. So yeah, people who have nothing to fear are rightly annoyed at your whole "you wear a mask to keep me safe, I wear a mask to keep you safe" silliness. I don't need you to keep me safe, I'm already safe. As for the flu having a vaccine, sure. If you get the right strain. But still, over the age 65, 100 people on average die of the flu out of 100,000. That is a .001 death rate, despite there being a vaccine to the flu. Yet, I'm never told to wear a mask during flu season to "keep others safe". Additionally, you haven't commented as to why country after country has stated guidance that "there is no scientific basis that provides guidance for the general population to wear masks" (Norway, above) or how masks can provide "more harm than good as people believe they are safe and don't practice correct hygiene" (Denmark, above) or any one of a dozen other countries in Europe I can quote. So you just want us to do as we're told. I get it. But not all of us just do things because we are told to. We kinda want to understand the why, and if the why doesn't make sense, expect a challenge.
We should all wear masks when in an enclosed area with a number of people. It offers some measure of defense, not as much as people think, but some. Bottom line, everything about this is not as much as we've been told. It's not as contagious, not as deadly, not a threat to all of humanity. It's just another bug that if you're in poor health may kill you. Had this not been politicized from the jump we probably all would have reacted better to the suggesting of mask wearing. Once again, political types and media stir the pot and watch the show. My contempt for them grows daily.

There appears to be little, or no, evidence, even by the CDC, that masks prevent the spread. I can understand sick folks wearing masks, but I don't see the need for healthy folks to be donning them in my layman's view.
This would be true for the times we don't come into close proximity to people but that just is not reality in a country like US where we go into stores or other places of businesses and come across one another, let alone schools.
