Masks, Distancing
 

Stop torturing people! First, masks being worn do nothing to protect against covid. Second, masks of any kind reduce oxygen 40-60%. They are useless except for making the wearer unhealthy. Droplets can supposedly travel up to 40 ft so 6' distancing is ridiculous too. Someone would literally have to cough or sneeze directly in your face for you to contract this. And survival rate is 98%. RESEARCH! Va has had only 650 or so deaths outside of long term care facilities. 650 of 8.5 million does not warrant this. Not to mention Italian researchers just said it is nowhere near as contagious as it was. Since March I have been in 13 states, never worn a mask, wasnt concerned about distancing, been at attractions, restaurants, campgrounds, gas stations, grocery stores and many other places. And I'm 69 yrs old. Stop instilling more fear in people. People need to get back to living!  NO MASKS! NO DISTANCING!
