    I'm not a mask fan. But as said be for, "their house, their rules".

    No one crys over
    "No shoes, No shirt, No service" at a bar now do they.

    Private business can make up any rule they want. If you dont like it, you can leave.

    I recall Ohio going to no smoking at bars, everyone was gonna boycott them. Few bar owners told me their business took off with the smoking ban.

    As far as asymptomatic I've heard disagreements about the rate of transmission. Going on many other communicable diseases it's very common for high rates of transmission prior to symptoms. So I'm not going to be a jerk and spread waiting for proof. That's antisocial and unchristian like.

    Flip flopping is for opinions, these scientists are working thru the Unknown. Its not like changing your opinion when you get new information.
    Quarantine is the 1 method that seems to be working globally. But i guess you and your tribe know better. And anything negative like Sweden now is all fake news?

    And no I vehemently disagree that my mask is an emblem of fear. I mask up with all the love I can muster for all you destructive angry cultist. Just because you are brainwashed doesn't mean you should get sick.
    I wasn't aware of policies around the 4th. I was working and I don't go home. I did see fireworks in Oak Creek Michigan and I had corn on the cob. So I'm good.
    So if your neighbor doesn't bring his trash to the dump and piles his feces in the back yard, when the flies and the vermin come, are you going to.....Force...him to comply with the health code?

    It seems to keep ignoring the facts. If this virus is so scary, how come you aren't following your govts command to stay home? Why do you think a simple piece of fabric covering your face hole is actually effective at blocking this "high contagious" and "deadly" virus? You state that if I better not come near your home without a face covering, or else. If I pull my shirt over my face, is that acceptable? Have you researched the difference between a face covering and surgical mask or an N95 mask?

    Can you handle being the one who trusts misinformation? Or will you just automatically tell me Im wrong no matter what?

    I totally agree with them having the right to ask someone to wear a mask. I'll just take my business elsewhere.

    For me its more the logic behind it. The numbers here are so low its literally nothing. Hardly anybody wears a mask and people stopped social distancing weeks ago. Nearly 4.5 million people live in Alberta and we've seen 160 deaths. We're seeing less than 100 new cases a day too.

    I agree with the idea we are misinformed. The 1950's a child was told to get under your sturdy wooden school desk to be protected from a nuclear attack.

    Now let me ask this, what if this is worse than we are being led to believe?

    Scariest worlds you can ever hear.

    "Hello, I'm from the Government. I'm here to help".

    Just a note on the neighbor/trash thing. We have actually been dealing with that exact issue for a year. The people across the street were living in filth. They had a minivan piled full of household trash in bags, as well as half their yard. The house is completely full of black mold. I'll post a pic if you like.

    There was nothing we could do. We were lucky that the situation remedied itself because the property was sold and they were told to leave. I facilitated their move by selling them my 5th wheel toyhauler for loss just to be rid of them. Now the place is being cleaned up.

    One of my key issues with this is all these orders being given, people just blindly do what they're told. So many people seem to be too ignorant to even understand when and where a mask should be worn. In your car by yourself isnt the correct place. Pulling your face covering down to talk to someone isnt correct. The examples go on and on.

    I agree with "their house, their rules", same goes in my house, my rules or you can leave.

    What I don't agree with, is government telling privately owned businesses, what they can or cannot do, or allow, on their own property. If a bar or restaurant owner wants to allow smoking, what right does anyone have to tell them otherwise?

    And no, it doesn't matter that it's a public health issue. The owner pays for the property, pays all the bills, so should be able to run their business as they see fit. It's called freedom, something we used to have, until the majority of people became brainwashed into thinking it's the government's responsibility to keep them safe from everything they think is bad.

    The day will come, when we will have traded so much freedom, for a false sense of security, that we will have neither freedom, or security. But since history is no longer taught, it will be too late when that day comes.

    I did stay home till they lifted the "command" for two months. For the sake of a family member. Better safe than sorry. Any face covering is acceptable that keeps the microscopic droplets from traveling thats fact for any contagious virus since ever ! You want facts ? OK why is there an increase of cases since the restrictions have been lifted, why are states rethinking and instituting restrictions again ? In the state of Texas there has been an explosion of new cases. As alot of other states. There is a thread here that talks bout these covid parties theses fools are having to see who catches the virus first. A student just died from contracting the virus from one of these parties......foolish !! I'm not agreeing with the shuting down of the economy for this....bad mistake it was. But have some common sense and play it safe for crying out loud. Not a lack of it.

    I have zero issue with that. Well said.

    I'm on the fence and dont trust any of them. My doctor is very laid back. Been seeing him 29 or so years. He ask that I wear a mask. You can bet your right hangy down part I wore a mask in his private office. Did I like it no. But I respect him.
