Would LOVE for that to be the case, but I'd bet a fair amount of $$ that we'll see less than 5% (probably less than 1%) of Tulsa rally attendees wearing masks. And all the coverage I've seen on the news of the protests, probably 80+% are wearing masks.
Face it, gang..our side has done a pretty bad job on the whole masks issue. Many of us have been in serious denial on it. Yet, every country that embraces masks (eg: Hong Kong, which has a higher density of people than NYC) have the virus mostly under control by wearing masks everywhere. Why we have to politicize this is beyond me..masks reduce spread by reducing the amount of virus a sick person emits. They can, made properly, also provide some (up to 80% or higher) protection to the wearer. But as the expression goes.."my mask protects you - your mask protects me". Asian and Nordic countries by and large "get" this, and those countries have a fraction of the sick and dead people we have. Why can't we "get" this simple fact also? If we could do this one simple thing, we could make a serious dent in getting this all under control and getting our economy and our country back all the more quickly..
The masks are no use. Totally ineffective. And could be dangerous.
Trump campaign will give you masks though. You want to put yhri on great. You don’t that’s fine too.
“we could make a serious dent in getting this all under control and getting our economy and our country back all the more quickly.”

No - only a vaccine will start to turn things back to normal (or if covd19 just disappears as SARS did), masks won’t do it. So you’re not saying “just wear them for a little while longer” - to be consistent you have to say “keep your mask on until the end of time”. That’s a lot to expect of people.
Masks have been compulsory by law (from Cuomo) in NYC for 3 months. How did that work out? They have by far the highest infections and deaths per million on the planet.
Stop pushing totally debunked nonsense.
Masks are useless. We know that. Why don’t you?
Just wrap yourself in a body mask & never go outside again. You wouldn’t want to kill everybody.
What exactly am I supposed to be protecting myself from? What exactly am I supposed to be protecting others from by wearing a mask?
What virus that comes up next will require we do this BS again? What criteria demands masks be worn until told not to?
This is insane. The masks BS is generally pointless.
Say we declare COVID 19 “season” over. Everyone stops wearing masks. You want to believe that suddenly nobody will get the virus? What happens next? If suddenly infection numbers go up, what then, put the masks back on or simply let nature take its course and show everyone that the masks were more or less pointless to begin with? Shouldn't we just keep wearing masks for everyones perpetual safety?
So many variables. So many questions.
This is stupidity on a national level, IMO.
I've been in contact with thousands of people during this nonsense, with and without masks for me or them. If I wasn't forced to wear one to go shopping I would be wearing one at all.
This crap has been blown way out of proportion, IMO. Not saying it isn't serious, particularly to our older citizens, but calling this overreacting would be an understatement, IMO.

There you go talking common sense again!
