#2 So long as this nonsense keeps coming up, I'm going to keep repeating the response over and over.

The lock down was never supposed to stop the virus. It can't stop the virus, which we be with us for the foreseeable future. The lock down was only ever supposed to flatten the curve - slow it down enough so that healthcare facilities were not overwhelmed. That hasn't happened, and it isn't going to happen.

So, instead of trying to retroactively come up with new justifications for the lock down, how about we just all accept that the ground truth has changed? End the lock down. Deal with sick people. Get back to work. Lock up ANTIFA. Re-elect Trump. You know, areas where we can do something useful.

#3 ^But that shouldn't prevent people for showing some consideration for others. Such as wearing a mask in public places - especially when using public transportation.

#4 New England Journal of Medicine – Wearing mask outside health care facilities offers little protection

CDC and WHO are saying similar things.
