Like Vaq, I don’t (and haven’t) worn a face covering of any sort related to the hysteria. I don’t have any fancy background or educational in infectious diseases. From 2007 through 2009, I spent three deployments in equatorial Africa, a place ripe with infectious diseases. I watched public health ‘professionals’ send me military members with the wrong anti-malarial prophylaxis...the drugs you take to keep from getting malaria...and at one point, had a little over 15% of my forces down in the Disease & non-battle injury category and almost 100% of that was due to malaria. That experience really opened my eyes to the fact that you are your own decision-maker and those decisions should be informed by medical advice that is independently verifiable.
There was a couple of days where my wife was notified she had been exposed and she sat at home with no mask. Then, the primary contact’s test came back negative and we’ve been happy go lucky since.
Once the local .govs started making up their own rules that deviated from CDC recommendations with civil and/or criminal enforcement threats, it was pretty obvious politics and power, not sound health recommendations was the deciding factor.
I’m fairly certain the National Association for Advancement of State and Local Democrat Politicians (or some such group) established a position and probably asked for ‘pledges’ to adhere or be more stringent in order to provide a unified front that, after the fact, could be used to tell a story on a national level.
There’s damn little about the virus and it’s impacts on the human body that is independently verifiable, so I’ll make my decisions for me and not abiding by political policies is just collateral damage.
