This is interesting as most conservative conspiracy theorist claim that the WHO and China are in cahoots. That includes the president. So who should we believe? The CDC that the president doesn’t believe, or the WHO, who the president doesn’t believe?
If a mask is supposed to protect you, why do you have to stand six feet apart? If standing six feet apart is supposed to protect you, why do you have to wear a mask?
If wearing a mask and standing six feet apart is supposed to protect you, why are several states still on lock down?

I'll have to think about social security a little longer, as that's not a contract between two private entities.
I can only hope that those who ride sans buckled seatbelt have the cash to cover their family's expenses going forward.
The CDC is a bureaucracy that has a bunch of life long career people who have come up with policies over the years..
Just because Trump is President and he puts his guy in charged, you have career workers who will still be there and tolerate the new policies for 4 - 8 years and go on with their business...

Community settings
Studies of influenza, influenza-like illness, and human coronaviruses provide evidence that the use of a medical mask can prevent the spread of infectious droplets from an infected person to someone else and potential contamination of the environment by these droplets.13 There is limited evidence that wearing a medical mask by healthy individuals in the households or among contacts of a sick patient, or among attendees of mass gatherings may be beneficial as a preventive measure.14-23 However, there is currently no evidence that wearing a mask (whether medical or other types) by healthy persons in the wider community setting, including universal community masking, can prevent them from infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.
Medical masks should be reserved for health care workers.
The use of medical masks in the community may create a false sense of security, with neglect of other essential measures, such as hand hygiene practices and physical distancing, and may lead to touching the face under the masks and under the eyes, result in unnecessary costs, and take
masks away from those in health care who need them most, especially when masks are in short supply.
Persons with symptoms should:
- wear a medical mask, self-isolate, and seek medical
advice as soon as they start to feel unwell. Symptoms can include fever, fatigue, cough, sore throat, and difficulty breathing. It is important to note that early symptoms for some people infected with COVID-19 may be very mild;
- follow instructions on how to put on, take off, and dispose of medical masks;
- follow all additional preventive measures, in particular, hand hygiene and maintaining physical distance from other persons.
Only when it doesn’t impact anyone else. lack of seat belt use Impacts other people’s wallets. So that’s why the law says you have no choice.

Ukrainian woman uses panties as face mask after she’s denied service
https://nypost.com/2020/05/27/woman-uses-panties-as-face-mask-after-shes-denied-service/
And she looks cute to boot...
A Ukrainian woman has gone viral for removing her panties and wearing them as a mask after being refused service at a post office, according to a report.
The woman was caught pulling off the stunt on surveillance footage at the Nova Posha post office in Kiev, where she walked up to the counter without a face covering, the Sun reported.
When told that she would not be provided service without a required mask, the flustered woman removed her pants in front of stunned customers — then took off her white panties and placed them over her face.
Witnesses said the woman is a mother of two who was unhappy with safety measures imposed amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Well, she found a way around it,” one person said in a social media post. “No one has banned the use of panties instead of a mask yet!”
Another user said: “She was lucky she wasn’t wearing a thong that day, otherwise the idea would have failed!”
The video was posted online by a postal employee who now faces punishment for sharing the footage.
In April, Ukrainian authorities ordered all residents to carry an ID and wear a mask in public.
If seatbelts are supposed to protect you, why do cars and trucks have to have airbags? If airbags are supposed to protect you, why are seatbelts required too?
Just so you'll know, gamecockballfan, I have voted Libertarian in every presidential election since 1984. Libertarians advocate responsible exercising of freedom. And Rollerdude123's comment, IMO. addresses the responsible exercising of freedom.
Now if you can craft a legislative bill to address the freedom to not wear a seatbelt such that it won't impact someone else's wallet, I'm all for it, even though I'll continue to buckle up.
There you go...
