Yet, nobody is out here telling them they must leave the house, or they cannot wear a mask. Well you better get prepared. Just don't do this when you are asked. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/05/04/security-guards-death-might-have-been-because-he-wouldnt-let-woman-store-without-mask/

Using that logic then I can't send my kid out in the summer (West Nile).....he can't ever swim in fresh water again (blue algae)....he can never go to school from Nov-March (flu)....can never ride in a car (car accidents). Etc. Listen to yourself! 1

If I feel at all ill I'm not going out. While out I practice social distancing and take all precautions to be courteous. It's funny how I don't recall people wearing masks before from October to April each year. Have you ever been to a nursing home before Old Fella? If you have, and you weren't wearing a mask, you are completely irresponsible and you may have given someone the flu and killed them.

Looking at your moniker it appears you are or have been at UND. Assuming that you for sure know you do not have to be feelling ill to be carrying the virus.
NoiseInsideMyHead Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 The very notion of an immunity/health passport is laughable. Exactly which condition(s) - past, present, future - are elevated to passport-level? And how is that decision going to be made? What about genetic predispositions...gonna screen for those, too? Will there be armed checkpoints? Brain scans? Exploding restraint collars? The dystopian future is NOW.

I also assume you are also aware of being asymptomatic and hence have always worn a mask from October to April., unless of course you are a selfish hypocrite.

I haven't seen anything to support that assumption, and early reports from South Korea actively suggest otherwise. Not sure if you're referring to reports of people in South Korea testing positive for a second time, but it appears those were likely false positives. https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-reinfections-were-false-positives.html 1

Now I'm just curious: When you say you won't tolerate it, are you just going to avoid stores/places that require them or are you going to openly defy their requirements? I'm not a fan of them personally but if I need groceries and Hugo's requires customers to wear a mask.....well I guess I'll wear one. As for your second point, doesn't it make sense as things start opening back up, as most people have been pushing for, that updated requirements about continuing to be cautious be put in place while that happens and they continue to test the waters on what effect opening up has on the curve? To me, it appears they are slowly throttling up with the theory that if they open up full bore and their is a significant spike, you can't put that back in the tube. 1

Yes, I will literally go out of my way to frequent businesses that do not require masks. And I will withhold patronage from those that do whenever possible. You can't put any of this "in a tube." It's a virus (hardly the only one), we are living organisms, we are social by nature, and some of us will succumb to pathogens. That's literally the way it has always been and will always be. I weep for the future of mankind if this is the best we can do. Scaring people into staying home and wearing a mask in public. Shaming people for living their lives. Life is all about risks and choices. 3

As is, ND has the fourth highest testing per capita, yet we are 30th in positive cases per capita. Burgum likely see this as an indication that covid hasnt moved through our population yet. ND Sandford is rolling out 1200 antibody tests a day, which would also help confirm suspicions, but they said expect more information in the weeks to come. Running more tests, isolating the sick, will be one of the quicker ways to reduce future positive cases as Old Fella implies. What are your thoughts on immunity passports? Prove you have had the disease and no longer a transmitter, that you are immune to be able enter your workplace. This idea is already circulating in the USA. Fauci already said it is a possibility on national news. I see this as a large threat https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/may/03/coronavirus-health-passports-for-uk-possible-in-months Could these passports then be used for Voter ID?
