So why not let people who believe in lockdowns and masks lock themselves down and wear masks while letting those willing to take the risks go about their lives as they normally would? Why must lockdowns and masks be forced on everyone?

Crickett What difference does it make whose face the mask is on? If it filters out the germs leaving my face when I'm the one wearing the mask it will also prevent those germs from getting through to your face when you are the one wearing the mask. BTW your explanation does NOT answer my question because your answer totally ignored the fact that only those who dare to leave their homes and not wear masks or follow the guidelines are the only ones who are at risk of getting sick from the virus. In a free society the decision to follow the guidelines or take the risks of not following them is left up to the individual. That is why alcohol and tobacco are still legal (even though they kill and harm bystanders who want nothing to do with them). This is also why automobiles aren't banned (even though they kill pedestrians and even people indoors when they come crashing through where they shouldn't). So why is the government suddenly stripping everyoneof their freedom to decide whether to take the risk or not where this virus is concerned? It's because the gov knows most people would take the risk and the hospitals/ER's/ICU's would become overwhelmed which would lead to deaths from people not being able to get the medical care they need from this virus or other causes. But people are not getting the medical care they need due to the shutdowns. Hospitals and such have been shut down to nearly all except those who are brought in by an ambulance. Tell me, are we going to start doing this every flu season?

Crickett No you didn't answer my question. You addressed one half of my question and ignored the other half.

Crickett For the record I do believe everyone should wear a face covering of some sort. I don't think we should have to hide in our homes to avoid encountering people who refuse to cover their face to reduce our risk of getting sick. I was simply asking a question which was on my mind at the time and needed to be asked so people could hear a good answer. That question remains unanswered.

Stop consuming junk food and drinking alcohol and "partying" (taking narcotics). Stop smoking and vaping. Stop drinking coffee. That's what is killing people.
