    So you would rather go to jail, then to protect yourself and others because that is what Trump has told you is the right thing to do. Unbelievable.

    LOL... In this environment, it's much more likely the guy without the mask has a gun, wouldn't you say?

    It's a crime like Jaywalking is a crime... People do it, there's an occasional fine, and it's forgotten...

    Are you under the impression that underage teens in America can't get alcohol?

    :roflol:

    Fake IDs are one way. Swiping a bottle from mom and dad is another. I used to get one of my older acquaintances to procure booze when I was underage, until I got a really good fake ID.

    Colorado is a purple state, but I live in one of it's red spots. Lots of gun owners, some mega-churches, plenty of liquor stores, and even more medical cannabis dispensaries. I'm grateful for the last, but wary of the first three.

    Just wear a mask or stay home. However, maybe the solution is to make the non-wearing of mask an assault&battery equivalent type charge.

    Sorry, but individual freedom does not apply where harm to others is possible. You do not have the right to risk the health of others, and if you believe that wearing masks doesn't matter where COVID-19 is concerned, then please explain the current infection and hospitalization numbers. They are, in fact, a direct result of states reopening for business on Memorial Day weekend and people like you who think they have the right to go out maskless, not to mention young people who, as always, think they are immortal.

    You can whine about government overreach if that makes you happy, but if you go out in public without wearing a mask and keeping your distance, then you are part of the reason that we have been unable to bring this pandemic to its knees like so many other civilized countries have managed to do. Man up, grow a pair, stop whining, and wear a freaking mask.

    we need some cases, so it does society good for some to not wear a mask... as long as the cases are not overburdening the medical system

    once the medical system at risk of being over burdened, then I agree with everyone needs to wear a mask

    we have to remember, 90% of the country will get the virus no matter what, the question is all at once or spread out over time

    Essential workers been working for months without masks... as the public was told they did not work by the Trump admin

    We'd been doing it that way too, now our mayor thinks he's got the minerals for it and I don't have the time, money, or energy to spend in court telling them they don't have that power.

    Yep. That's when misguided ideology runs smack-dab into awful reality. It is people who flagrantly disregard these basic safety precautions who get themselves and others sick, at times with fatal consequences. Case in point:

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/02/us/california-thomas-macias-coronavirus/index.html
    He posted his regrets over attending a party in California. The next day, he died of coronavirus

    Poor guy didn't live to regret his mistake.

    its fine for me, if some customers want me to wear one, I'll wear it, but honestly most of the actually concerned customers aren't shuffling their sorry azz over to my office to make a payment or chit chat either, they are staying home and calling me to figure out how to take care of stuff without leaving home. So basically we're all approaching it with varied levels of caution, and that tends to ebb and flow based on the news locally.

    The funny ones are the 80 yr olds that say "my kids won't let me leave the condo but they didn't specifically say people couldn't come by, so come on over" which is hilarious, frankly they are 80+, they stopped giving a fk a long time ago.

    A mask on a beach protects no one. This is for sheep.

    Should a pregnant woman wear a mask because she might endanger her fetus?

    Jaywalking in NY is a misdemeanor. It's a criminal citation, it's also considered a traffic offense and failure to pay suspends one's driving privileges.

    You Dem cucks that pass all these rules are the problem. Then ignorantly claim they have no impact.

    Read the ****ing Ferguson report. Too damned many rules, in that I agree with protests. The protesters just need to go to the root of the problem, not cops but the progressives that create too many rules.

    Cheers

    Are the hospitals at capacity? Remember, that was the and is the only rationale for Lock Down.

    Arguably, we've overdone it leaving hospitals vacant for months.

    Spread is inevitable, it's magnitude is what we sought to regulate. We've forgotten the realistic goal. Modulate hospital utilization at near capacity, no more no less.

    States that are celebrating zero cases are just denying the inevitable.

    That makes no sense. You can't get any more locked down than a nursing home and we see how that worked out.

    That’s what I could gather. If you know of other states I’d like to know about them.
