For the past month people have been urged to ACT as if they had the disease, so under that guidance using masks would be an appropriate guideline.

It’s a small measure that Americans and Kentuckians can’t do. I knew it was a waste of time to even suggest it.

Like I said, I see carloads of teenagers running around with the windows down and the radio up. I see two or three grown men crammed into cabs of pickup trucks. I see cars from Ohio with soft tags on the back, out of which adults and kids clamber out (all of them clad in PJ's) to go into a grocery store or gas station. An awful lot of people are not social distancing and an awful lot don't wear masks. I only go into grocery stores at opening time or near to closing, but still I had occasion one night when a car pulled up lengthwise blocking the front entry to let out a girl whose mission it was to get Mountain Dews and cigarettes. And she was a lot closer to me than I would have wanted under ANY conditions. But short of starting something what can one do? As I exited the store I had to steer my cart around the front of their car still sitting there BTW.

The point I made was wearing a mask is fine, but they only work for those who are sick. Everybody else is basically wasting their time. And most of these rules are therefore subjective and a little arbitrary.

Say though, I got an idea! How about widespread availability and usage of HCQ + Z + A to fight the pandemic in a meaningful way, and lay off the Orwellian finger pointing against those with whom you don't agree?
