A lot of those same people have already had the virus and didn't even know it. The masks and social distancing, etc. are just prolonging the virus's effects. The virus isn't going away.What are you talking about? People ALL across this country are keeping themselves safe from the virus by wearing masks, washing their hands, practicing social distancing, and cleaning surfaces with cleansers that kill viruses.
Should we stay at home and keep the country shut down from now on?
I think that everyone understands that we (the collective we) can't shut everything down and stay at home indefinitely. However, that doesn't mean we are faced with a false dilemma or a false dichotomy between only shutting down and/or only going back to the way things were before the virus. We are perfectly capable of embracing a third way which is to stay open but do so with voluntary restrictions to keep us safe unless or until the virus rears its ugly head in hotspots at which more restrictions are warranted. But when nutcases who are not wearing masks insist on storming into enclosed public places (like stores) and start yelling about their constitutional rights (I can't find a constitutional right to not wear a mask), they help no one while they also endanger everyone.
