Those caught without a mask, and not social distancing, should have health insurance/ER cut off.

Dont wear a seatbelt, in anothers car, get a ticket, your insurance goes up, or they cancel you. Skydive off cliffs, and your life insurance wont pay. Crash your car racing, they dont cover damages.

So why should those that BREAK THE LAW, not be penalized for making that CHOICE? Those that refuse to mask up, should be either charged a ridiculous amount on their health insurance, or cancelled. Those refusing to mask up, should be refused at the ER. Ventilators should be refused to antimaskers.

Those antimaskers, that do infect another, should be liable for all damages, to include all lost wages, to the family in case of death.

And Trump should be liable for a class action lawsuit, brought by all the vulnerables.

What about those who wear masks but dont practice social distancing? Will they get a 50% cut off?

If someone jumps off a cliff, you know where their broken bones came from. If somebody contracts COVID, you don't know where it came from because MASKS WON'T PROTECT YOU!!!!!!

I WAS USING THE you can protest without a mask, you can vote without a mask logic. But they could charge you as a preexisting condition. You are clearly Munchhousans syndrome.

Kind of harsh. I would just give them 50 lashes across the nose and mouth publicly, force a surgically grafted mask until pandemic over, then brand them with a huge NM for no mask on their forehead.

Maybe repeat offenders get the
Catapult.

How marvelously stupid. The main point of masks is not to protect the wearer, but to protect others from the wearer.

Please make sure you understand at least 1/10th of something you are about to opine about before you start opining.

His point is different. It is that it woulld be impossible to PROVE, in court. Like cancer. IT didnt come from us, they will say.

You did also say "Those that refuse to mask up, should be either charged a ridiculous amount on their health insurance, or cancelled. Those refusing to mask up, should be refused at the ER. Ventilators should be refused to antimaskers."

You don't need to know who infected whom to apply those policies. You would only need to ID someone as a person who refused to wear a mask where required.



If he only meant to comment on the law suit thing, he did a rather poor job of indicating it. And I'm not sure he really did mean it the way you generously suggest. He's made many comments criticizing mask-wearing because they "don't protect you".

They should have stayed home instead of think that mask was gonna protect them

(RE: death toll of COVID)

Put the mask on the patient's face. That'll protect them

(Go see if you're interested)

Wear a mask. It will protect you from the germs and from being identified on the surveillance video. They are the gift that keep on giving.

We are going to have herd immunity without the vaccine and with or without face masks. On the plus side, all the people wearing face masks should make this a historically mild cold and flu season.

And on and on and on.




He's got a whole lot of that and that's what I was responding to. He really does think the point of masks is to protect the wearer. Otherwise all those posts make no sense.

Send them all over to Kevin Costner's Yellowstone .... They'll get rid of these traitors the old-fashioned way. ;)

Insane Trump had another fascist super-spreader event yesterday in Arizona. He actually questioned whether Arizona had a spike in COVID.

Not only has the loyal AZ GOP governor admitted to a spike, he is only SLOWLY reopening his state. Why is that?

Is your proposed solution targeting anti-maskers only? What if a mask lover forgets their mask and gets caught? How about people who have breathing problems or health conditions? Are face masks/face coverings supposed to meet a certain standard? Where do the rules apply? If I want to walk in the park alone and get caught, will I be refused ER services?

Should this standard apply to other scenarios as well? For example, if you're rioting and get shot, should you be denied emergency services?

Another question. The "ridiculous insurance amount" that would be collected, who would receive this money? The insurance payer?

Gets caught in their car? Caught in the open air? Caught getting to where they are going, no. And all penalties are in reality for repeat offenders.

That money would rightly go back to those that mask up, and dont be flagrant assholes. You know, antisocial.

So insurance payers would be required to distribute funds to reward those wearing masks? Who would oversee and audit these transactions?
