The six feet is ONLY if you don't have a mask. Check it out.

Six feet is the travel distance for a sneeze or cough.

For all your, "we", all you're actually talking about is your personal desire to not be inconvenienced by any trivial obligation to others while at the same time claiming the right to absolutely, positively, be a demented threat to others.

Infect Thy Neighbor, Begger Thy Neighbor, yeah, I get it. Fine, such is your right.

Have a lovely day

‘So if you have it and don’t know it because you’re asymptomatic’

okay...

‘the risk is that you’ll be a docile sheep for giving a shit that others may not want to catch what you have.’

are we going to go through the rest of our lives suspecting, but not knowing, that every other person may have something, and thus making the individual who doesn’t mask up into a social pariah...? pathogenic disease in various forms is a part of life, a gift from a loving God, and at any point in time could manifest itself on a dime; by all means let us go about as if existence itself is a pernicious pestilence, a fine way to live...

If it were me, I’d “go for a walk” to my kids’ house.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why would you do that?

‘The six feet is ONLY if you don’t have a mask.’

completely false; regardless of mask usage, the six foot rule remains in place...this, in my estimation, will yield the result of people disputing each other over perceived invasion of space...

So, people who wear masks are fools that are like sheep, or worse, like Muslims. Tell that to your dentist, just before he has to inject your mouth with Novocaine.

Hey, here’s another false analogy! How about, “tell that to the firefighter who wears a Scott Air-Pak into a boring building.”

They have to get rid of the elderly because the young ones might overhear them reminiscing about the good old days before socialism turned to totalitarianism.

Lame, very lame. How often is there something that is rapidly spreading and there's a very good chance it came out of a level four bio-weapons lab in China?

Fauci was telling Trump what he knew he had funded in China and it wasn't benign. Look it up, it was a deliberate effort to make a virus from bats more pathogenic, harder to detect, and much, much, easier to spread among humans.

The information is out there just like the information that shows all the high death numbers for the flu are nothing but bogus high figures used to keep having flu vaccines purchased by the Fedz for flu vaccine campaigns.

If you want to play, "how long" you better play, "what were Trump & Co. told they were dealing with" first. It makes one Hell of a lot of difference.

As for consideration of others, in Japan and a lot of other Asian countries someone who has sniffles or is feeling like they have a cold coming on wears a mask as a consideration of others so they don't spread it. That has to do with how they see one another, not whether they're sheep, muzlames, nitwits, or etc.

Where did you get the idea that the communist assertion that people who are asymptomatic must be assumed to carry diseases would sell here, Comerad Rashputin?

If a free person in a free country exhibits no symptoms of a disease they have no obligation to assume that they are diseased anyway.

‘...claiming the right to absolutely, positively, be a demented threat to others.’

by presenting ourselves to others in the same way that we have been doing for millennia,and indeed the way that nature intends for us to present ourselves to others, unmasked face to unmasked face, we are absolutely, positively, being a ‘demented threat...’?

You might want to read the *actual* regulations for your State. Your millage may vary, but here is the language from the Massachusetts website on the requirement...

“On April 10, DPH issued an advisory regarding face coverings. A face covering may help prevent you from spreading COVID-19 to other people. It is important to wear these face coverings or masks in situations where it is difficult to maintain a social distance of six feet from others.”

Airborne transmission drops to zero above 30C (85F). There is no need whatsoever to wear a mask in hot weather. But then you walk into a store and it's not 85 anymore. So you put your mask on.

I, too, can understand your reaction because that was my first thought. But if I want to, by faith, obey God and His word, I am to submit to the governing authorities. I would wear the mask if ordered to, I would wear it with a smile on my face and song in my heart. It may be that I am asymptionmatic and this will help prevent me from giving the virus to another.
“My sheep hear My voice, I know them and they follow Me.” I want to try and appreciate the decisions of individuals and also keep a clear conscience before God and man.
Praise God we live in America.

speculation on your part, just like your speculation that an asymptomatic individual must assume he is carrying a pathogen...and actually, various pathogens, virii and bacteria, are all around us, thriving in natural media such as carrier hosts, and always will be, and widespread outbreaks occur all too often, as any cursory study of history would show...but do try again...

Your dentist is mandated to wear PPE. I think he could be shut down if he didn’t. However, mandating a driver wear a mask while transporting their own family members or friends and alone in the car is unreasonable. I would have the policymaker who made that regulation worry about their reelection.
