But how would the righteous keep you from getting a drink on a sunday in many places? Or on election day? Or buying that bottle of Jack at the grocery store?

We've not had vaccines that long, mankind sure. Actually I should have said 200 years, I think small pox vaccine came about in the early 1800's.
I can buy liquor on Sunday? And Jack is terrible so I wouldnt buy it anywhere lol
And SP is still out there, better wear a mask.
Anyone one heard how saddlebum is doing?
Oh, sorry wrong thread.....
Oh, sorry wrong thread.....
Here's my own personal observations.
When this thing got rolling they were shutting stuff down right and left and preaching for everyone to wear a mask. If we only wore the mask it would go away, we were told. My mother has cancer and I'm basically her main support giving her rides to treatments and such so I limit my activities. Hell I haven't even shot any matches like I would have except for COVID. I just can't take the chance of carrying it to her. But when I went into a store back then maybe 25% of the people were wearing masks. Then numbers started going down like they said they would (Due to warmer weather. They were correct on this one).
Fast forward to now.
Now when I have to go into a store, basically EVERYONE is wearing a mask. What's happening? Hospitals are overflowing.
Me thinks the mask doesn't have much if any effect based on what I see happening. One could even extrapolate that the masks might be a contributing factor? I don't but...
But here we are repeating the same things over again and expecting different results. Maybe when our boy Biden takes over all the riots will stop and everyone will love each other again and it'll go away on it's own. /sarcasm
I wish things had not been so politicized. We used to just get guidance from public health officials and believe it.
I see that in Sweden that they are adding extra vitamin D to milk. In England they are distributing vitamin D to senior citizens care facilities. There seems to be no downsides to this....and I just can't see why our health officials are not doing these things here......super low cost and easy.

Part of the problem, that I'm discovering the more I read, is that the old 6 foot rule is not actually based on science...but old research that became dogma. Everyone thinks they're good as long as they are more than 6' apart but it turns out viruses are more than capable of travelling well beyond that magical zone. Gee, who knew LOL.
This will be over when the vaccine is out and administered in mass numbers. Not a minute before. And then they'll find something else lol

Whose boy? But anyway, as others have noted, there are a lot of variables in play. I merely pointed out that MS tried the county by count and things didn't improve. We then did state wide and it did. Since ending that mandate, things have gone bad again.
What you described sounds like an anecdotal logic fallacy. What you see doesn't support X therefore X is wrong. (Yes, my example above is similar, however i'm also pointing out that statewide numbers moved down and up based on the rules, not what i saw in stores. Large measured samples vs small, unmeasurable ones)
And please correct me if i'm wrong, but there hasn't been any mandates in OK that would allow for close to full mask implementation, right? So how do you know that the folks wearing a mask now are doing so each place they go before or after you see them? Without trying it state wide, how do you prove that it wouldn't work? Saying that people were 'told' it would stop it is nothing without actually trying it.
We all know the virus doesn't adhere to county lines, so if people are willingly visiting places to avoid having to wear a mask, it masks sense that they might bring it back to where they live if infected. That is true of leaving a state with a statewide mask rules, too. The difference comes in how that would spread from them. If they continue to visit places without rules, they can easily spread it. If they only go places with enforced mask mandates, it would spread less easily.
We know how it spreads for the most part and we have examples of these things working (albeit in conjunction with other methods) in places around the world. Spread containment probably also benefits from those who declare they can't or wont wear a mask being 'forced' to stay home. Asian countries have used masks for a long time to help with public health, including this virus.
Demanding 100% protection is absurd, just as anyone claiming a mask alone will stop this.
Sweden and England are both seeing spikes and even resorting to new lockdowns.
and both have top down policies, IIRC.
If only we had public health officials we could hear from instead of the politicians.
