The best advocate for mask wearing is your own self. You either elect to wear it or elect not to wear it and roll the dice..... |
I fail to see anything to gain from any more mask wearing threads.

Hypothetical = Useless
Honestly this thread should be deleted. It’s a hypothetical question that was only started to start controversy....
Just my opinion Dan |

A better question...
Is what if we see a slight surge and follow in the shadow of other states - and everything gets shut all the way down again ?
Then what, another 90 days of nothing open and takeout only ? |
The places I have frequented it's been 50/50. Mostly staff but customers have them and put them on as needed.

I don't like wearing a mask, but...
Doing nothing is not an option that is palatable to the majority, so that is not a viable answer. Staying home indefinitely is not an option. So, if wearing a mask helps, which seems to be the case (even VP Pence is encouraging masks), and being careful to maintain distance, whatever distance is deemed both effective and sustainable, then I'll do it. I realize the mask is providing limited protection for me, but by all accounts does help minimize me spreading it to others. I don't care whether I'm being a sheep, whether it is Constitutional, or how I look. I want the virus to go away.
If people can offer a more effective way of minimizing the spread than wearing masks and maintaining distance, please share. If not, please put on a mask before going into a public place and when in crowds. Masks aren't effective if only 50% of the population wears them. I'm open to other science based solutions. As to The Lakes Region, I liked the sign at Heaths (hardware) - basically it said out of respect for the employees, please wear a mask. Everyone except one person was doing so. |
If it happens, I will not wear a mask (in the Lakes Region), and if confronted by anyone (in the Lakes Region), I will speak only the following two words (in the Lakes Region): “MEDICAL EXEMPTION”.
Case closed..... |
I'm a numbers guy, and here are the relevant numbers to me --
Deaths per 1,000,000 New York - 1,652 New Jersey - 1,706 Massachusetts - 1,174 Georgia - 264 Florida - 163 Texas - 85 New Hampshire - 270 Deaths and hospitalizations are decreasing. Based on the numbers we (the Lakes Region) should be opened up full throttle, no masks, no social distancing. (People in the Lakes Region aren't really adhering to these anyway.) Deaths in Belknap and Carroll counties are microscopic. We're ready to work and enjoy the summer. It seems that we have figured out that we need to protect our elderly and morbidly obese, while the rest of us can develop a heard immunity to get this thing over with. If you are elderly or obese or have a loved one who is, the responsibility is yours to protect yourself. Other places, e.g., NY, NJ and Mass, may have to take a different approach. |

No, I have not had anyone confront or say anything to me. Like you, I’d have 2 different words for anyone that would be stupid enough to confront me. I was referring to any so-called “official” that would confront anyone if some kind of BS mandate were to be implemented. You’ll hear me screaming “MEDICAL EXEMPTION”! |

As expected, these are the two I expected to revolt.🤣

But if I take the numbers you've presented as correct/meaningful, you seem to be asserting that NH should open full throttle even as places with numbers that you've quoted as better--Florida and Texas, both governed by Trump minions--are now in the process of reversing their full throttle openings. So I'm going to go way out on a limb, and assert your numbers are an incomplete picture. I think the Governor is doing a great job for the Lakes |
