I never said you said that you did. Deeprig just name dropped you in his ongoing crusade that everything mainstream public health experts say is false. Whether you agree with him or not, I have no clue.

makes sense to do that

My point exactly.

The great part is we can all decide our risks and what we think is appropriate. I’ll wear a mask when I go to stores etc just on the off chance it helps keep me from spreading it to someone at risk. I also don’t judge someone or care if I see someone out without a mask.

That's where we disagree. On lifestyle choices that have no effect on me, my family, my friends, my community, or even the world at large, I am very live and let live. If someone has a poor diet, is profligate, smokes, drinks, votes a certain way, prays a certain way, went to Auburn, I do not judge. However, we are dealing with a highly communicable disease that is deadly to at-risk populations. Wearing a mask and avoiding large social gatherings isn't just about reducing personal risk; it's about reducing the spread to others. And that's not just the people in the building with you at the moment, it's the people they come into contact with, and so on. There are elderly people in my orbit who have literally not left their homes in nine months. So yeah, I do judge the greedy, selfish mindset of people who contributed to these conditions. It's obviously too late to reverse course with our current rate of infection, but it didn't have to be like this.
