  1. American’s false sense of security on wearing masks…. So, if I eat or drink something at a movie theater, I am okay not wearing a mask in public and I don’t spread covid, but if I sit and watch a movie WITHOUT eating or drinking I spread covid? If I ate or drink at a restaurant, no issue with not wearing a mask, but somehow the people serving my food need to wear a mask? double standards everywhere.

    1. Craig B., you should ask to be appointed to the CDC since you seem to believe you know more than any of them.

  2. Yeah, everyone must wear an N95 mask. People in 1918 wore cloth masks. Do you drive a 1918 car? Nope. Would you drive one? Nope. Don’t wear a 1918 mask for a 2020 pandemic. Common sense. We should still be in the “shutdown” mode. Had we stayed shut down for 12 weeks—THEN opened up, we would be on the rebound. We stupidly listened to the Chinese about being able to “reopen” so soon. So now, we will be like we are now—just in time for the next flu season. Cool. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’ve had enough of all this “winning” Trump was crowing about.

  3. Anyone who thinks wearing a mask is not necessary is not listening and has their head in the sand. There is NO vaccine, and there is a virus killing thousands and thousands of people, more than any flu. We all need to do our part to protect and respect others.
    All those who think it is time to return to normal and find it so inconvenient to wear a mask, are selfish and inconsiderate. We all need to do our part in preventing the spread of this Covid-19 virus, and if that means wearing masks and social distancing, then that is what we do.
