                  I know you are a nice guy Mitch and care about others. Would wearing one and saving just one life if you could be worth it? 

I'm a nice guy, but I'm gonna say "no".    I'll gladly keep my distance from everyone...as long as they haven't already walked up, spit on me, and held out their hand.   I don't do that to anyone, but people do it to me all the time.   What should I do, launch a Billy Jack kick to the head as soon as they are within range? 

Not my style.

OK.  This virus will not live outside of humans.  If we all stop spreading this thing to each other it will die out.  Other countries have been successful in this.  We just can’t seem to do what we need to do. 

And for achieving the “herd immunity threshold”: How many deaths are acceptable?  If we achieve 100% infection rate that will mean 5.6 million deaths.  The average death rate per day has exceeded the 9/11 death count since January 8^th.  If Al Qaeda were to bomb skyscrapers every day we would not be hoping they run out of buildings to bomb.

Kids are playing hide and seek in the cul de sac.  All of them with masks.  

Dentist's say that's not good for dental health.   You know darn well those kids aren't brushing their teeth 4 times per day. 

Halitosis and/or pyorrhea outbreak soon to come.

Yeah, you probably do too. 

If you're in my face talking and laughing.....then you're spitting on me.     

I guess I put myself in danger by being an enjoyable person to talk to, hu?   In the end only  dickheads that everybody hates will remain.  🤣

I thought you meant someone intentionally spitting on you.  I love the mask and distancing.  We should’ve gotten this going years ago.

I agree.  There's a few kids around my town that would benefit everyone if they were laid up for a week with 104° fever.
