This post will probably get zero traction and I'll be bombarded with attacks but I dont understand why being a Trump loving Republican requires us all to not want to not get sick or get others sick. Why cant we wear masks even if the mitigation is marginal its still something. I dont necessarily believe in lockdowns but restrictions on gatherings isn't that illogical is it? I understand we dont want to lose our freedoms so how about this do it willingly and you lose no freedom. I dont know I feel like there must be a way for both freedom and the ability to stop this virus to coexist. I'm a pede doing my part to slow the spread and I hope you all are too.

You can be. Do what you need to do to make you feel safe. If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. If you want to socially distance, then do it. If you don't want to eat in restaurants or send you kids to school. Then don't. We all have access to the information that is out there, understand our own circumstances and are making decisions accordingly. If you want to be in a lockdown, then move to NYC. If you don't want any rules, then move to Florida or South Dakota. If you're so worried about getting sick because others aren't socially distancing or wearing a mask then you probably shouldn't be leaving your house.
