It looks like this is trending and might get a lot of eyeballs, but I'm about to hit the sack. If this does hit front page my request is that if you can, go to the facebook link above, vote on the poll there, and make the same thing happen there that happened on twitter.

On the one hand I don't want to give up on America. There's many good people here. But people like this make me just want to give up and

start begging other countries for asylum from the lunacy.

Feel free to go and vote on FB! It's actually starting to skew the other way. It'd make my day if he got screwed in that poll too.

The perception is skewed by the extremely vocal minority who don't want to wear masks and will fight you rather than wear them.

Seems to even vary by day. One day everyone on a bus will be wearing. Another half the people at Target have theirs pulled under their chins

Conservative media is pushing the narrative that Rona's no big deal so everything reopens and the economy surges before the election.

Not where I live :( Here, no one wore1 and I got glared at when I went to the store masked. 1guy even talked shit. We're 1 of spiked states.

If a narcissist wears a mask, it won't stop them from catching COVID-19, it prevents them from spreading it to others they don't care about.

This is nothing new to people, King Frederick II had to trick his people into stealing his potatoes during a famine.
BlankMage
My parents are on the hill, they think people wearing masks are just virtue signalling, and that the whole thing is 'overreactionary'.

They've literally said to me "it's not like the mask is ACTUALLY going to do much, if you're going to get sick you're going to get sick."

i don't think that's it. i think if the rich people that are actually in control of hte republican party can label the mask as "socialist
CongratsYouAreHereNow
totalitarianism" it has a double benefit: further hatred towards the left, minimizing the need for masks makes it seem unnecessary to keep
CongratsYouAreHereNow
anything closed. they want everything open now, if the virus is not a threat, there is no reason not to open. if masks don't make sense

then the virus isn't a threat

There is a reason Japan and New Zealand have such a low death and infected count. It's because they aren't stupid and wore masks.

what wild assumption. look how many dishonest people agree with you.

I mean we didn't really wear masks in NZ (other than essential workers). Just stayed inside for 4 to 6 weeks...

Yeah no one did that either in large swathes of the US.

Not really many masks in NZ. Mainly because of lockdowns they weren't really needed.

Many Asian countries have experience with pandemics thus masks being common prior to COVID.

Yea, it’s just one of their accepted daily routines, no fuss
GrilledChorizo
During the peak in Australia, it was actually recommend for the general public to NOT wear masks unless you were showing symptoms. But this

NZ didn't wear masks though. Other measures it adopted worked.

Japan have a very respectful society that believes masses are greater than the individual. NZ is very sparse and called the lockdown early
PapiChuloNumeroUno
Japan also has a pretty solid policy of "検査しない“, or "not testing", which keeps the numbers pretty low.
RacanGiraffeMonster
and the death rate because they don't die there....

the population centres of NZ are very much NOT sparse.

masks for even small sniffles and colds. We live in SC now, and holy fuck...the lack of social distancing / mask use genuinely frighten me 2
SpaceDaveNZ
Most of NZ's population is in cities. Our success was about early and strict lockdown. We stayed in our homes unless absolutely necessary.
valen00
NZ is only sparsely populated if you presume all NZ people are spread equally around the country not living in cities.
ConvoluteNZ
And it was a real mixed bag of people wearing/not wearing face coverings.
imgurj17
Both of which are good responses. Calling an end to the lockdown because it is losing businesses money is a terrible response to a pandemic
freezeDriedBadger
Also being islands makes closing the borders (i.e. the air & sea ports) easier than a multi thousand mile open border top & bottom.

keyonne
Make out tax dollars pay for something other than bombs for once.
Spirit201
In NZ we had a wage subsidy. Doesn't help the business directly but means their operating cost were very low while closed. The places that

Failed were generally doing pretty poorly before covid. Or are using it as an excuse to restructure inefficiencies.
IAlwaysUpvoteRepostStatistics
I'm not trying to argue, but I'm sure being island nations also helped with that.

USA should have built that wall. Trump was right... But the borders are relatively secure. Nothing to do with it.

There might have been varying responses to scientists across countries. But not many are literally trashtalking it as in the US though

papalongshlong
What? Their pop density is close to 10x higher than the US. why make a point when you clearly didn’t even even google what you’re saying
TRBOBDOLE
Population density =/= population. Why comment when your comprehension is so low?
papalongshlong
1/2 Population density is what matters for spreading the virus, the population of japan is ≈120mil, so when adjusted to equal America
papalongshlong
3/3 actually matters for spreading infectious diseases. We just have too many dumbasses who won’t wear masks
papalongshlong
2/3 they still would have less than a 3,000 deaths compared to 135,000 deaths in the US despite them being more dense, which is what
