    I agree. There are assumptions either way. You can assume someone could be asymptomatic and spread the virus (like with influenza and the SARS coronavirus) or you can assume people have to be asymptomatic to spread the virus (like the virus in The Stand).

    Either way there is assuming, I suppose by necessity since we are still in the middle of the pandemic (or hopefully towards the back end).

    The difference is how we assume. Are we going to lean towards protecting people or preserving individual rights? It's kinda like using a car seat for a baby. If you are not going to get in an accident, you probably do not need the seat.

    I don't wear them. I like watching the store people nutt up and act hysterical. The courts, in Ga anyway, are on my side.
    I only wear mask in Dr office. That's for me, not anyone else.

    I am normally in GA. I was mentioning to another member that the courts in GA prevent people from suing businesses if they get COVID, which is a good thing (although I don't think he believed me).

    In SC things hare also opened but it is up to each business or city to make rules. I noticed in Charleston masks are required on the sidewalk (not enforced, but there were signs letting people know it was required). I guess I can see it if there is a huge crowd (probably regardless of the pandemic).

    Whether or not the authors of the study are toeing the party line on lockdowns is not the issue. Lockdowns in the US are being justified by the idea of asymptomatic transmission. If there is none, or if it's rare, there remains no medical or scientific rationale for the restricitions.
