Tucker Carlson is leading the charge on that one. But at a more local level, since Governor Lee has lifted the mandate for TN ( except for Shelby County which does their own thing) people feel emboldened to ask those of us who still mask up why? None of your business. It's a free country and just because I don't HAVE to wear one doesn't mean I won't. I've never worn it because I had to by law, only because I've worked in infectious disease for decades and know how things roll. Viruses mutate and turn into variations that can't just be covered by something that was invented before that mutation happened. The variants are rampant in some states, and TN is in of a handful of states that are right behind California. You don't "trust" the shots? Think about the spread of a global pandemic. A big problem is with those who have the first one and don't follow up with #2. It's a process y'all.
I watched on TV today as WMC News 5 did a one hour special with three medical experts who took questions from twitter and livestream users. I already knew the answers to most of the questions but it was astounding at how little the average joe understands about the whole deal. The CMO of Methodist Healthcare reminded everybody about the ability of local hospitals to weather the storm during the first wave. It was NOT pretty. Nobody had respirators or ICU beds. Healthcare providers burned themselves out trying to save lives. I'm sure many of them left the field just because of that. Kind of like 9/11. We are ill prepared for emergency responses like those. And our enemies know it. We can't make up for 2020. But we can strive to do better.
Namaste ~
