I got the Covid

You'd be guessing wrong. While WaPo definitely has a left bias in their opinion pieces, and they definitely hate Trump, they actually rate very highly for factual reporting in their news articles.

Why no mask wearing in the past during flu seasons? The flu is obviously deadly, spread in same way, and has no real cure. The flu vaccine will be less effective than the corona vaccine. I hear flu vaccine ~70% effective and Corona vaccine ~95% effective.
If Corona necessitated mask wearing (and it should), one would think we will be in masks for flu seasons from here on out, too.

Maybe soon .........masks all year long.....EVERY year!

We are already planning on masking up all 2021 as the vaccine won't get to most of the people until summer, then, we will wait a few months to see what happens. Corona virus may be with us for a long time or it may reappear every year. We just don't know much yet. I don't like how some people continue to suffer with Long Haulers disease. I sure don't like how Covid causes blood clots in the body.

Lots of unknowns...

Some that have had cosmetic implants/fillers/injections are reporting issues with the vaccine...

Here is a good article describing "long haulers" or "long covid". We really don't want to take our chances with this virus.

Not sure I'm falling for the ''mask prevents droplets from passing from your mouth to others''
I re traced the places I had been after I got it and I wasn't around anyone (except my GF) She didn't have it or was a carrier and it never affected her which I don't believe.

Its out there in the air. Just like the flu, some will get it and some won't. Just the luck of the draw.
Even the CDC has changed their views on the virus several times.. They are just scared to come out and say ''we don't know'' so they come up with something to sell the public.

If I did happen to have caught it from someone that wasn't wearing a mask. I don't blame them, any more than I would blame them from catching a cold !

You want to wear a mask the rest of your lives like they do in china, go ahead . you're free to do so. I won't be a part of that group though.

All these places claiming covid is the cause of all these deaths, It you want to believe what you're told, that's ok. Some has to put those numbers out there and I don't trust the people spreading this information.

Government has proven time and time again it has no problem lying to the peasants. Why do they do this / cause the peasants have proven they will fall for anything

Sheriffs, and police here are refusing to fill their jails with people that don't wear a mask

I'm more afraid of being killed by someone texting and driving /drinking and driving than I was of dying from covid.. And I survived covid !

while this may not be the deadliest virus in history, I think the pic puts things in prospective

That right there is the problem. You don't believe things. Symptoms can show up anywhere from 2 to 14 days after exposure.
Symptoms of Coronavirus | CDC.

People that have COVID can be contagious 2-4 days before any symptoms occur.

Asymptomatic people (those that have COVID but don't show any signs) can spread it and not even know they have it.

Did you go back 14 days before your first symptoms showed up and find everyone you were near?
Did you go back 4 days before that on your girlfriend's timeline?
That's 18 days of you and your girlfriend's life.

I can't remember where I was 2 days ago. Unless you and your girlfriend went nowhere and saw no one in an 18 day period before your first symptoms occurred, you have no idea where it was contracted.

That picture illustrates the ignorance.

I just learned that our 31 year old grandson was diagnosed with covid yesterday. I knew that some of his coworkers had it, and he, his wife, and 2 little ones were here for an early Christmas a week ago.

Sorry to hear that Bird. Prayers on the way.
