What is this talk about " how we are all in this together." It doesn't feel that way to me on a number of fronts. First of all, I can't wear a mask because when I take it off even after wearing it a few minutes, I get tightness in my throat and upper chest. I also get pains in my chest. And I never feel this way when the mask is off or when I am jogging. Sometimes I get a worker in a grocery store or super market, telling me that I should wear a mask. When I tell them about the tightness/ pain, they tell me that is the rules. I then tell them that I am not Jesus Christ and won't die for the rules. They then say ok and leave me alone. No one has asked me to leave.

Now I suppose I could wear one of those flimsy, face shields, which I recently got yesterday for free when I walked into a casino.

Secondly, lots of conservatives here in Nevada think it's BS to wear a mask. I have been to a few doctor's offices where the doctor didn't even wear a mask and they all told me I didn't have to wear one except when I was in the waiting room. Lots of people here wear a mask grudgingly. When we go to dog parks, 95% of the people don't wear masks. People wear masks in grocery stores and then take them off when they are outside. The governor has been caught a few times not wearing a mask at a restaurant when he was not eating. That is to say, most people hate wearing masks and do it grudgingly at work because the business they work for may get a fine if they are caught.

I rarely wear a mask and neither does my wife or sons and their families.

And lastly, there has been lots of disagreement and bickering over the proper course that should be taken in regard to the virus. The sentiment here is far from being in this all together.
