		<description>When I am out I see alot of ppl without masks. If wearing a mask helps slow down the transmission of this deadly virus why not wear it.  There are guidelines given and put in place for a reason maybe if we all adhered to them we could slow down the spread of this deadly virus. Wearing a mask social distancing hand washing is not something that is that hard if it helps to save lives and stop the transmission we all should be willing to do it. Another huge issue with me is the gatherings that people are doing if you have been warned against it why not just accept it and know that it is for the better good of everyone.  Let&#039;s all do our part and be safe and stay safe and save lives.</description>

		<description>I have to agree whenever I am out I see alot of ppl not wearing masks. I really believe that if we all followed the rules and regulations  that have been provided (wearing masks proper hand washing social distancing)  and stop all the gatherings we would be able to slow down the spread of this deadly virus. Its not that hard to wear a mask especially if it helps to stop the transmission and if it helps to save someone&#039; life just wear a mask.

		<description>I&#039;m not seeing 75% of people masked in Cantonment and Molino businesses. Even folks at the pharmacy aren&#039;t wearing masks.</description>

		<description>REGARDING:
&quot;I go out and see at least 75% of others masked. Y’all are telling me that 25% is giving it to everyone else?&quot;

Interesting that you would doubt the obvious. If you do not have it, you do not spread it -- you just don&#039;t really know you don&#039;t. You don&#039;t know who does. Those who do have it are the only ones who infect others.

Not that it perfectly applies, but if you had a filter which blocked an invisible, odorless gas which killed or sickened all who inhaled it after 3 days to a week and everyone you met might be giving off this gas, what would be the right number to have using a filter?

In fact, though, it is pointed out big increases tend to follow large family gatherings. Times of large groups close together, masks/filters off to eat and drink together. Times to share good and bad. Preferably not to kill loved ones.

David for better filters, properly used</description>

		<description>@but but

I don&#039;t know where you live, but in Escambia County we have a huge problem with people not wearing masks. Wherever I go, the vast majority of people are either not wearing masks or wearing the under their chins to &quot;own the libs&quot;.

A New Year is a time for resolutions and changed behavior. Might I suggest resolving to protect your community? I promise, wearing a mask isn&#039;t that difficult.</description>

		<description>@But but

Then what is causing the increase in COVID hospitalizations? 

Sooner or later we all have to accept that the reasons for the increase is that a lot of people are not following the CDC recommendations: wear a mask (properly), wash your hands often, don&#039;t touch your face, keep six feet apart in social situations, stay at home.

Maybe if ALL of our &quot;leaders&quot; advocated for following the CDC guidelines we wouldn&#039;t have so many cases and deaths. I&#039;m looking at you Trump, DeSantis, Gaetz.</description>
