Children. The ones who aren't getting it. The sentiment is great, the reality is... something else.
Was not aware that children were immuned.

OK. So next year sometime we open things up, start concerts and events? Who has eliminated the virus and how do they compare to the U.S.?
New Zeland and Iceland and to some extent Soutth Korea. There may be others.
You of course know that the US has the most cases and most deaths from the virus than any other country in the world. Russia may someday pass us as they are reporting 10,000 cases per day.

Right. So when does it stop?
When we get a vacine or when we all act responsible when out with the public. Some countries have been able to vertually eliminate the virus when their citizens act responsibly,

The value of testing is to find who is carrying the virus, not who is not. Tomorrow the who is not's could be the who is.

If you have zero reason to believe that you are shedding virus, and you are not invading the personal space of someone vulnerable, I don’t see why you’d wear a mask to go about your daily business. By this logic we’d be asking people to wear masks anytime there’s an environmental pathogen that could kill...Flu? Measles? Cold Sores?
There is no reason you should have zero reason that you are not shedding the virus. Unless you were recently tested negative for the virus and subsequently had contact with anyone you could have the virus.

I'll play along, in your mind at what stat/threshold/measurement would you consider it ok for people to no longer wear masks?
Keeping in mind UND 92,96's informative post showing that from ages 1-69 ND has had a total of 3 deaths.
That does not mean the are not carring the virus.

That does not equate to them not spreading the virus.

Keep your distance, wash your hands and disinfectant your hands and surfaces. Don't cough on anyone. Cover with your elbow.
I wear the mask to protect others. As I am over 65 no longer worry about me.
It is irresponsible for anyone to go out in public and not wear a mask.

I am an optomist and a realasist. I realize the ecomomy must be opened.
I have been out the past to days/once to the area I grew up in/the other to a hardware store in GF.
Made a stop at the cenex station in the area I grew up in to put petro in the car. While doing so a young woman came out of the station with food/she was not wearing a mask. Went into the station where 2 young women were working. Although they handled take out food neither was wearing a mask or gloves.
At the GF hardware store at best 1 out of 10 employees were wearing masks. Asked why their reply was the store was out of masks. On the plus side 8 out of 10 customers were wearing masks.
I was wearing a mask at both places. Wearing a mask does not protect me from the virus does not protect me, it protects others, if I had the virus, from speading it to others. (The fact that you may not be sick does not mean you don't have the virus.) Millions of people in this country fall into this catagory.
Disclaimer: Like most of the medical experts on this message board I recieved my medical degree from the University of Pheonix.
Point: A significant % of people are not acting responsibly.

If you count having +/-10 kids playing volleyball and/or basketball this past week with the beautiful weather nights...then yes. My youngest daughter did a small group (6 kids) soccer training session with one of her coaches yesterday at a local field as well. My oldest daughter and I went to Sickies last night for supper too then to Walmart to grab an item we needed but you can feel free to keep your crew holed up until....... Safer at home right?
Do you wear masks?

To be fair, most I'd argue on here are Trumpists first..... essentially anything he does is OK and anyone who criticizes anything he does even the slightest is anti-Trump.
You are correct. Cult members believe and do anything their leader sas or wants,

Really? Which one? This drug is literally made by 25-30 companies or more and has been off patent for years. Costs about 50 cents a dose.
Don't feel bad, the fake news media live wells are full of people willing to believe anything they report.
Also true of cult members,

I don’t believe it’s behaved that way yet (by either party) In no small part due to the key variable (the economy) being strong up until the Covid crisis.
Nationalism has been on the rise that is true. Police State has been a bubbling threat since 9/11. Mass murder hasn’t occurred domestically- but you could argue it has internationally by our hand, war has been omnipresent again since 9/11.
Civil liberties now under fire by all parties...
I don’t believe it’s Trump’s doing, I believe he happens to be the guy in the chair as we hit another trigger point on a 2 decade decline of the Principles of the American Experiment.
What happens next should be watched closely.
Yes we should.
I hope you are right.
It is worrysome that the free press is under attack.
That people who disagree with the administration (previousl known as dissatents) are fired.
Quite sure there are other examples.
This is how it all began.

It protects others if you think you are actively shedding virus...if you have zero reason to believe you are actively shedding virus and aren’t interacting with a Highly vulnerable person, then a mask is overkill.
On the other topic:
Naziism was the German socialist workers party- It’s rise was fundamentally economic driven by the failure and ultimate disbandment of the Weimar Republic. This led to fierce nationalism , a police state, and ultimately mass murder and war.
the collapse of democratic principles and a republic is easiest in a crisis as public sentiment moves from “freedom to” to “freedom from”...civil liberties go first...they did in Germany in 1933 too. The end stage of the third Reich is when they moved to death camps. In the beginning it was more loosely controlled...
You have accuratly discribed the current administration.

So you oppose Naziism but are in favor of locking people inside their homes and forcing them to wear masks if they go outside...
Anyone else see the irony here?
Stay away from cliffs!
No one is being locked in their homes or forced to wear mask. I spent all day yesterday outside without a mask and will do the same tomorrow. I can understand your unwillingness not to wear a mask/it does not protect you from the virus/it protects others/who cares about others?
-
I have no problem with gradual opening of business's.
When you go out there is no need to wear a mask/it does not protect you from the virus/only others and who cares about others?

Closing the golf course will go down as one of UND's bigger blunders.
Lost revenue + costs of rehabilitation + loss of good will = HUGE

Soooo...remember the couple who drank fish tank cleaner because Trump supposedly said to do it...the husband died and the wife “miraculously” survived? I’m sure you’ll all be shocked to know that the local police department is now investigating his death as a homicide. Turns out she’s also a big donor to Democratic candidates, too. I’m sure the national news media will be quick to update the masses on both of these developments.
REALLLY!

Yesterday, in an attempt to jump start the economy, we filled the car with petro and took a 100 mile (1 way) journey to where we grew up. Spent some time walking around. Grass is turning green and the birds are coming back.
Not withstanding,

I don’t ignore the virus, but it’s important to put it in perspective. I don’t drive drunk and I don’t let little kids swim unsupervised either.
