Thanks for asking about my Mom.  She is 88 and has COPD and the only time she is going out is to go doctor's appointments.  We do her shopping for her because of her age and her COPD.  Ya see Goofy, protect the ones that need to be protected and leave the rest of us to live our lives.  That's smart policy. 

Dumb policy is for idiot Governors like Cuomo sending COVID patients to nursing homes to save a few bucks on Medicare.  Dumb policy is locking up healthy, productive adults at very low risk of having complications from the ChiCom virus and are the engines of the economy.  Dumb policy is mandating masks for everyone when they provide little to no protection (as discussed in the NEJM article) and provide a false sense of security that causes people to not be as diligent with social distancing and personal hygiene (the two things that really make a difference).  Dumb policy is allowing large groups of protesters to assemble in cities across the country which has led to a spike in cases.  Dumb policy is thinking that letting 35 and younger people get the virus is a bad idea.

I will state this again, if you think the mask is so helpful wear one and you'll be protected from the rest of us that know better, right?  If they are so effective then why do you care?  The reality is that there are more people wearing masks today than ever and yet we still are seeing an increase in cases.  I thought masks will prevent that from happening.  Think Goofy.......think for once in your life.
