    No, it would be EVERYBODY. The virus can get in through your eyes. It can get on your hands and be transferred to your face after you take off the mask. And no, I am not cheering for anyone to die. Face shields are a thing because they protect the eyes. Masks do not protect the wearer, they protect others.

    Yeah I know. I made my own DIY shield, too.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Not quite all. It certainly should have been done earlier, never should have opened, but still it is a good thing to do. Is Florida's gov listening? Virtually all large cities in Florida have mandatory mask requirements in place. Does the governor seriously think there is no risk for smaller towns? People do travel back and forth...

    Action, even late action, is better than nothing. But what ends up happening is that people die weeks after a mistake. So Texas, Florida, and Georgia have already killed people for weeks, before their new actions begin solving things.

    That darn two week delay between action and reaction.

    This thing is a killer.

    We mess around at the cost of lives.

    It would be so much easier without that delay. You could make a severe mistake, see you are going wrong, and make the right decision. Instead, you are stuck with your mistakes.

    It's extraordinary how many leaders wait until the numbers are soaring before taking definitive action. When they do that, they are wishing they had done it two weeks prior. It is tragic that they don't. That gets people killed.
