Most of the rest of the world has the virus largely contained. It's weird seeing so many Americans talk as if the massive amount of cases there are just inevitable and nothing could be done.

Sounds like another phenomenon that's pretty much exclusive to the USA

DELTA TWP. – A Grand Ledge man who stabbed an elderly man inside a Quality Dairy store after being refused service for not wearing a mask was shot and killed by an Eaton County deputy several miles away, Michigan State Police said.

After the Grand Ledge man, Sean Ernest Ruis, 43, walked into the QD at Lansing Road and North Canal Road at about 6:45 a.m. Tuesday, a 77-year-old male customer confronted him about not wearing a mask, MSP Lt. Brian Oleksyk said. Tuesday was the second day of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s order that masks must be worn inside businesses.

I went to Michigan State and lived in Michigan for about 10 years, so I am aware.  The stabbing happened right around the corner from my friend's house.

Trump bet his Presidency on COVID being a hoax or "just disappearing" despite how insanely idiotic those ideas were according to just about every virologist and epidemiologist on the planet. He ignored his own advisors refusing to adhere to simple preventative measures because he thought that would make him look weak which has heavily contributed to the normalization of other citizens doing the same. Out of other options, the only move left is to cook the books and fix the score in order to claim victory.

Is it really a conspiracy? Are you paying any attention to what is happening?

Wait... let me retract that. The answers are pretty obvious.

He obviously didn’t help things but lets be honest there were complete fuging idiots who ignored science wayyyy before trump and there will be fuging idiots after trump. I’m not a fan of Obama but imagine “America’s left” in power telling people to wear masks. People would go batshit fuging crazy. Because this country is full of fuging idiots who think they know better than literal scientists. This country was founded on rugged individualism not solidarity.

people were calling what we’re seeing now months ago.

No disagreement there. I think it just has a huge normalization and empowering impact when you have a sitting POTUS spewing the anti-intellectual propaganda.

Many of the stores had it already (it just wasn't done nationally). Talking to a bunch of people, the consensus is that there's a sign on the front door saying it's "required" but enforcement is non-existent and a huge percentage of people still walk around with no mask. None of the employees want to confront a non-mask wearer due to fears of them reacting violently.

Murica!
