quote Originally posted by maryjane: I made your statement sound better than it actually was, since you neglected to include that the initial guidelines was for the general population to not wear masks. You made it sound as if the opposite were true and the general population only began wearing masks after they saw 'so many dropping'.

Don,
The only thing I specifically mentioned was the motivation, patriotism and love of ______ versus fear or common sense. Read what you wish into the statement, interpret it as you wish. That does not change the reasons folks started paying attention and following established guidelines. That is all I was calling on.

Personal opinion and perspective will vary among individuals, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on what motivated the "masses" to start "getting with the program".


Edited: On another note, just read and then saw on the "news" that the money Congress put up for "Small Business Forgivable Loans" is almost gone. The estimate given was that only about 5% of the potential "Small Businesses" will be able to get some of the money if Congress doesn't put up more. The economics of this Pandemic will haunt us for generations. IMHO, we'll be lucky if we only experience a world wide recession. Again, Personal Opinion. No One should assume this is a personal attack.
