I totally see where your coming from but here's how I see it. My 9 to 5 career I work for the County and it is mandated that if I leave my office and interact with the public then I'm masked. It's also in that same policy that if I'm exposed to it or come down with it that I'm missing a minimum of 10 days and using PTO to cover those hours.
My other job as we've talked about in the past, is that I coach club sports. Where we are not mandated but "highly encouraged" to wear masks which is an absolute pain in the ass, yet I comply. My wife has to wear them for work 8 hours a day...my two oldest kids have to wear them all day everyday while in class. Everyone in my family has to wear one with the exception of my 10 month old who would probably be mandated to be wearing one as well if there was a chance in hell he would keep it on.
Everywhere we look there are individuals that are mandated by private policies or state/federal policies telling us we need to be doing this if not for our safety but for the safety as others. So I totally agree that your not going to stop a virus being passed around by asymptomatic individuals, but at the same time if I (as well as my family) am having to go through all this then I find it absolutely inexcusable that the face of our nation who downplayed the severity of virus, isn't holding himself to the same guidelines that the rest of have to.
Yea I also wear one. Work mandates us to wear one as well in addition to a shield when in common areas. This when I do go in. I am actually home-based for 95% of the time.
All this shit goes both ways. Did Nancy Pelosi put the residents of her state into perspective when she went unmasked into the hair shop when the shop was supposed to be closed? There are many times I've seen Biden out and about without a mask.
The guy took flack for shutting down travel to and from China in the infancy of this whole thing. I don't think he downplayed the severity of it then. Took a lot of shit for it.
It comes down to the old sorry story
ANYTHING TRUMP = BAD
ANYTHING NOT TRUMP = GOOD
