pardon?? That's terrible. That idea is endangering people's lives. Maybe you're younger and relatively healthy, but think about the people you come across. Maybe you go out without a mask, you cross paths with an off duty nurse and give her covid, then she gives it to her patients unknowingly while working while she's still not showing symptoms but contagious. Then her patients, who aren't as lucky, die. The idea also was to, as we heard many times, "flatten the curve", so people can be treated. When hospitals are overloaded, and there aren't enough ventilators, people die. The idea has always been to do that, and hopefully prevent as many as we can until the vaccine was produced and distributed.
Hold on there! Your "maybe" doesn't hold water, calm down. I DO wear a mask. We are retired, not "younger" by definition of number of birthdays, in good health and it already swept through my family and many of my friends. It's been almost a year and DH still gets short of breath. I am not endangering anybody's life. We hardly go anywhere, a trip to the feed store, grocery store and WAIT----the Post Office!!!!
I would argue that perhaps you are confused. I never accused anybody of anything, calm down. I was simply using that as an example of why what they said isn't accurate, strawmanning isn't a good tactic. "No one is endangering anyone's life by not wearing a mask and no one is saving anyone's life by wearing one." is a ridiculously false statement by the way. It's just simply not true, science dictates this. I never harassed anybody, again, please calm down.
