I wear a mask to keep my germs to myself.

I have respect for others. I show STRENGTH!

Others who do not like the fact I wear a mask, fuck them. That includes IMPOTUS most of all.

maybe they can pass out "I hate trump" masks at his next rally!

Seriously, I just remembered that his stupid magats were tricked into waving Russian flags at a rally because they were given something for free that had trump's name on it - we should revisit that plan with masks, lol

It changes to "FUCK TRUMP" after you put it on. I could see guns coming out at the next MAGAT rally.

of health concerns. There are the usual libertarian, anti-vax, anti-govt types sprinkled in, but I firmly believe it is mostly a political statement to own the libs....even if it kills them. So Trump assumes the opposite is true among liberals. He is maybe half right, but we also want to keep ourselves and others as safe as possible.

I would rather not have imbeciles trying to claim it over while blowing their COVID Cooties on me. Especially since so many (maybe 10% of customers at Walmart) are not wearing masks anymore, because Dumbass Donald is oblivious to it.

16. Many in Uruguay are apparently disapproving

Many in Montevideo Uruguay are wearing masks. Sidewalk vendors sell local-made cloth masks. Masks are on national politicians as seen on TV.
Not everyone, but there is no madness of mass mask-denialism in the scene here.
Apparently disapproving of Trump is good for a nation's health.

Uruguay reported its first case March 13th, just days after Arkansas did.
In Uruguay, as of 17 March, 849 cases are confirmed.
Active cases peaked at the beginning of April and the slope has been downhill.
24 have died and about two dozen cases are currently active with 3 in ICU.
Sadly, Brazil is the northern land border.

Arkansas can be compared to Uruguay for population, size and density and date
The numbers contrast when compared.
Arkansas has 208 deaths and 4300 active cases.
In fairness, Arkansas has done much more testing* and is surrounded by Brazil, so to speak.

*Trumps law may apply
