The majority of the new positives are all younger people. That’s probably why there are new restrictions on bars/restaurants in some states. Same is true here in Iowa.

Conveniently forgetting that they've already been required to wear clothing and shoes into the store. My mother has been told to take off her mask when visiting a local car dealer because "we don't have the virus here". It comes down to the fact that people are stupid.

So many people just can't grasp the concept that the major effectiveness of cloth/paper masks isn't in protecting the mask wearer from other peoples germs, but in better containing the mask wearer's germs so that they don't spread to others as easily. Those that refuse to wear a mask are dangerously selfish and putting the entire population at risk.

I think people are getting confused by the political sides. And the polarization that inevitably comes with that.
We have steps to prevent spread that include social distancing, closing of parts of the economy, and masks. And while they will no doubt save some lives, slowing the economy will lead to loss of livelihood and lives.
I wear a mask any time I’m indoors at a public place. I feel like the people who don’t are doing it because they think slowing the economy is more dangerous than the virus. While I respect that, to me it makes it more important to wear a mask, not less.

95 mentioned people who think wearing a mask in a public (or private business) space is a violation of their rights are one of the main factors that is driving this current crisis even further out of control. We're seeing a lack of self-discipline and responsibility right now because a lot of privileged individuals have conveniently forgotten that we're still in the middle of a pandemic.
Honestly though, when a bunch of gov't officials act like its over and business as usual, it shouldn't surprise anyone that people are going act this way. It's just disappointing, I guess.

As for the number of positive cases rising, how many are false positives? A person at my work (who I have very little contact with) tested positive. Others around her went on the 10 day quarantine as well. Just as precaution and out of curiosity I went to get tested at the Test Iowa site. Now I always wear a mask, practice social distancing to the utmost degree, have had no symptoms, and my result came back positive. So a few days later I got tested again and it came back negative.
with inconsistent test results like that, who do you trust. Just keep practicing preventive measures and use common sense.

of course, that type of logic is too much for their 2 brain cells to comprehend.

It sucks. It all sucks. Wearing a mask is all we can do, folks.

And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."
