Mine is, and has been since April, with a bare month or month and a half of strictly modified and distanced services. Actually, this time around it was done on our own imperative and not because of a government order, which is marginally more palatable.You're right, churches should be shut down too.
What possible rational motivation would drive such an unlikely coordinated effort?The media is already laying the ground work to blame the post holiday surge on travel, seeing several stories about crowded airports, this will likely result in furthering the public perception that travel is dangerous and lead to the further decimation of the industry.

The Diocese of Chicago believes in science, too.
So, what's your complaint? That churches are open? Or that restaurants are closed?
It should be neither. Your real outrage should be directed at the way all this is going down.
The problem is not the mask, it's the mandate. This was not something that occurred via the legislative process. Again, it was handed down by executive fiat, in the name of the "public good," and we all just went along with it. The precedent has been set, and accepted.
This time, it's a mask. What's to prevent the same declaration for fast-food cheeseburgers, extended cab pickup trucks, and semi-automatic handguns?The Governor of California recently signed an executive order banning the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles. What's to say he can't do the same with airplanes?
There is a reason our legislative process was designed the way it was. Passage of laws was meant to be a difficult and arduous process. It was intended to require significant consideration, reflection, discussion, debate, negotiation, persuasion, and agreement of the polity, to ensure that the body politic was well-represented during the process.
Leaders do so with our consent. No one is consenting to any of this. This should have everyone spitting mad, chewing-nails outraged. Instead, half the people are standing up and cheering for it.
"So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause."
This is the question I’ve had since the start for all the “hoaxers, media-driven, soros, whatever conspiracy you wanted to use.What possible rational motivation would drive such an unlikely coordinated effort?
We're seeing the fear and hysteria being amped up by the media and the Democrats. It's much easier to convince people to give up their civil liberties if they're scared.
I’ve never advocated for such. You can’t find one post of mine on here in support of a mask mandate.Just because he was wrong about the virus doesn’t make you right to advocate giving up civil liberties.

The problem, of course, is that there are people who know (or, to accept your premise, reasonably should know), but refuse to take any mitigation or public health measures whatsoever absent an order of a government (and sometimes, not even then).I'll wager there's not a single person who doesn't know about it, it's implications, or what they can do to mitigate it.

I'm referring to the constant media drumbeat of all the bad things about Chinavirus

So.
and the efficacy of masks has yet to be conclusively established, can you blame them?
Except they haven't. For every source you can cite showing that masks work, I can cite one saying they're ineffective.
Except they have. In study after study after study.
So when you say something dumb like that, ot invalidates pretty much any other points you were trying to (poorly) make.
Except you don’t account for true/actual human behavior.
It’s like the 90 second emer evacuate guidelines. Manufactures hire college aged kids, young fit people and show they all get out in 90 seconds or less. They aren’t taking the grandma/pa in wheelchairs, nor accounting for the douches who will open overhead bins and take out out carry on bags, effectively slowing the process and destroying the 90 second rule.
Masks work effectively only when society wears them properly as a whole. Clearly, society can’t do that. Half the people I see, their noses are exposed because the mask is pulled down just enough. They are only doing it for the motions of it, for the fact that it’s required. Defeats all purpose.
Well it's not one for one. If he literally cited every source and so did you, your list would be smaller.Except they haven't. For every source you can cite showing that masks work, I can cite one saying they're ineffective.
