    You must take a lot of pilates classes or maybe you're an instructor.

    Putting aside politics, do people really want to pay hundreds of dollars for the right to pay for ridiculously overpriced food and drink and wait in lines for food and the bathroom while also having to wear a mask? That is not worth it to me and I'm vaxed as well and owned season tics to both pro teams in town. Seems to me if I was concerned with getting sick, I would avoid the activity that might get me sick, instead of expecting others to... but call ME crazy.

    I don't buy the food, i'm there for hoops & supporting my team. It's always an honor to get to go to Blazers games. Wearing a mask is trivial.

    But i'll tell you this. Every time some asshole sneezes, or coughs into the air without covering up, it violates the rights of common decency. That pisses the HELL out of me. And it happens almost daily around me. Yesterday at the gas station, the attendant , no mask, turned his head and sneezed, full throttle, uncovered, towards the ground, as if that was gonna do anything. WTF!

    You met people, that were, let's say, not in the best human's condition, but it doesn't mean all people with no masks are crazy stupid. Again, stats are cruel for you.

    Washington eventually instituted a system where new recruits would be inoculated with smallpox immediately upon enlistment. As a result soldiers would contract the milder form of the disease at the same time that they were being outfitted with uniforms and weapons. Soldiers would consequently be completely healed, inoculated, and supplied by the time they left to join the army.

    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus 13:45-46&version=NIV

    45 “Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of their face and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ 46 As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.

    It's Little Man Syndrome. Cowardly, pathetic people who feel insignificant and unimportant get a genuinely addictive adrenaline rush from acting like they are in charge of other people's decisions.
