That's correct Bill, but it also makes @[DRM](user:130312)'s point. If so many people are going to ignore the mandate anyway, why force it on people and take away their right to choose? Leave it up to individuals to make the proper choice. And @[DRM](user:130312) and I agree that the correct choice is to wear a mask and be socially distant.
But people have literally been killed from all the fights over whether to wear a mask or not. If some people refuse to wear a mask, we'll simply see Darwin's theory play out. But I suspect a lot more people would have been willing to wear a mask if it wasn't forced on them. For many it was not a health issue, but a civil rights issue.
Thanks @[David Marshall](user:121103), do you know if a company can get a PPP loan to hire new people? Or only keep existing people? We had planned to expand right before the pandemic, but now those plans are on hold indefinitely.
Every death is a tragedy. What @[DRM](user:130312), @[Joseph Cox](user:127658), and others have tried to explain is that, as horrific as the growing death toll from COVID-19 is, the death toll from shutting down the economy would be far worse. From starvation, malnutrition, homelessness, not getting access to proper health care, etc. Even violence and abuse. We world would be best serve while reopening. But we can be smart about it - social distance and wear a mask. Those who say not to... I have no idea what they are thinking or why.
Yes people will die of #corona but why do you not care that people die of lots of different things? Only people dying of corona is appalling? Let's broaden our thinking.
USA locksdown > other countries follow > 3 billion people in this world live hand to mouth. Now these people are starving. Did you read the story of an Indian mom who drown her children because she couldn't feed them during the lockdown? This is what half the world is going through, not you.
Meanwhile, the zombies are ignoring the reasons other countries are able to control it while having no rules except common sense. So you put on your mask if you plan to breath over people but don't expect others to follow your narrow thought process.
You should read what @[DRM](user:130312) and @[Joseph Cox](user:127658) has to say about this, they make some excellent points backed up by some sobering facts/statistics.
Very true, but a total lockdown will kill us just as easily, if not more so. We could probably be fine without a lockdown if everyone just wore a mask, practiced good hygiene and avoided large gatherings. But a lot of people are sadly idiots.

I'm also curious as to how many kids have died from COVID. I've looked for this stat more than once and come up empty.
