Not all of us are ideological zealots who ascribe to the idea of “freedom over all regardless of the circumstances, consequences don’t matter!”

What about our right to not see our social institutions destroyed just because we wanted to copy a communist country's pandemic response?

I never realized Singapore or South Korea were communist.
To be fair, their response was better largely because of culture.
We have way too much of an emphasis on “muh freedom to be an idiot” here and this thread only proves it.
They did other things correctly, but we can’t just ignore the cultural issue the US has.

That being said, Marxist Australia was not a twist I expected in the tenth episode of 2020.

We live in a post-factual society...

Seriously, who are you people meeting that are not wearing masks indoors in public spaces? Isolated idiots that get called out and go viral? They are not responsible for this. They went viral for a reason. You're trying way too hard to look for division in your communities.

I don't believe any of you. American mask compliance being in the upper echelon of the western world. People have stopped wearing outside because it is cumbersome but I have never seen someone fail indoors (perhaps some get a bit lazy but a couple moments is not a very serious risk). I haven't stopped even outdoors, except when I am lugging $100 of groceries two miles.

You live in Philly, right?

Yes. I've gone on several vacations at this point too.
Right.
I’m fairly certain mask compliance greatly varies by location.
I would imagine a large city in the NE would have high mask compliance rates.
