Regardless of any rules imposed anywhere by anyone, for me, it comes down to a simple choice - since I care about myself AND others, I wear a mask; if I didn't care about myself or others, I wouldn't wear a mask.
For me, it's NOT a difficult choice to make - I wear a mask.

Noone should cover antibody tests at all until they can get ones that are largely reliable, there have been so many problems with antibody tests, that while reliable antibody tests are possible, it's not like it's a problem that's science and regulation CAN'T solve, if they don't first work out the reliability issue they are next to garbage and should not be covered by anyone. Why should insurers or the government waste their money on bad tests? Anymore than condoms with holes should be covered, or bleach should be free so people can drink it. Then there is the issue that noone really knows what follows from antibodies.
Then when the antibody tests are reliable they will probably find out most places 2% or 3% of the population actually has antibodies (since that's what the research seems to show). More in NYC. And one might one wonder why catering to this 2% should be a funding priority (tests should be reliable and available, but best use of public money, I don't know about that. Live coronavirus tests are available specifically with a public health goal: to limit spread).

This is an outstanding article on masks and computer models: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020...jvK9HyLAV4ZjtE
"On the screen-share, De Kai first ran a simulation that shows what happens when COVID-19 strikes a population in which no one wears a mask. The orange and red dots proliferate at a frightening speed; “susceptibles” becoming “exposed/infected,” then recovered or dead. “This is what you don’t want,” said De Kai. He changed the setting to simulate what would happen if 100% of the make-believe population wore masks; almost all of the dots would stay blue—with each of them surrounded by a white square, representing someone wearing a mask."
It’s a easy choice to wear a mask. As a society we each have a responsibility to protect others because everyone benefits.
Speaks for itself:
We don't need no stinkin' face masks.jpg
So why aren't we opening everything, full steam ahead, just put on a mask and hop on a fully loaded airplane, no capacity limits at Disney, fill the sports stadiums and concert halls. Yippee!
Just curious if anyone here personally knows someone who has had or has the virus? The closest I have come is a neighbor who had to quarantine after her boss came down with some mild symptoms and tested positive. I remain very confused by all the varying reports but find it interesting that the day after George Floyd is buried, the headlines go right back to reporting scary virus surges.
Luckily I don’t know anyone.
No the closest I come is a college classmate of my bf died, in his early 40s.
