How can a disease with a 1% mortality rate shut down the U.S? Answered by Franklin Veaux:

56. That is not how they see things...entirely.

The deniers do not have a wide-angle or 30,000-foot perspective to balance conclusions against. Their view is more in the 6-10 foot distance between themself and the Moron-of-the-Hour on Fox News, spewing nonsense and bullshit at them for profit and power.

They do not see masks as providing safety, they see them as an admission of weakness in the face of the virus. They take their cues from the head painted clown and his mixed messaging nonsense for the last 150 days. In their warped world, it is entirely probable to them that EVERYTHING is a Soros-funded, Democratic Party-backed "hoax".

They believe that science is an enemy - of "Gawd", of Trump and of family.

They are worthless and need to be cast aside, sometimes the lame members of the herd serve their evolutionary purpose in the stomachs of the apex predators while the herd survives for another generation. We should immediately begin doing what is being proposed in India - not wearing a mask in public? You just volunteered for hospital duty or morgue duty at the nearest COVID-19 unit for a week.

I'd go even further for the "law and order" crowd...

Second offense?
You are now sentenced to a month of nursing aide duty to care for active patients, and since you do not 'believe' in the virus, we will preserve the PPE that would have been allocated to you for others.

Third strike?
Congratulations, you are now assigned to these duties for the remainder of the pandemic.

If we can't get these idiots to wear masks to protect themselves and others, then we can at least quarantine them to maximum societal benefit...
