I was in Kroger, sans mask, but wearing my “I Love My AK-47” tee shirt. Another shopper took off his mask and told me he liked my tee.
With a corona virus masks imo are very important initially. They reduce the intake level of the virus. This gives the body more time to code anti bodies for the virus.
I’ve stopped wearing my mask when shopping just to pique my immune response.
WuhanXiFlu will be around for two years. But I’m hoping for reopening in May and herd immunity in the US by July. Quarantine the sick, not the healthy. We have the medical healthcare capacity now to deal with it.
A low viral exposure rate and time to allow the body to produce antibodies is the same as a vaccine. Masks and social distancing will do that. But after a few months most everybody is exposed and have antibodies.
