		<description>Bob,

You are entitled to your thoughts however if you have concerns that you might get sick, then please stay home.  You should look at the actual survival rate for COVID, it&#039;s in line with seasonal flu.</description>

I had a friend who was killed by a drunk driver a few years ago. I think driving while under the influence is selfish, reckless, and something that we as a community should condemn.

COVID-19 has killed a lot more people this year than drunk drivers. I think refusing to wear a mask and practice social distancing is selfish, reckless, and is something that we as a community should condemn.</description>

		<description>Bob,

You and people like you are what&#039;s wrong with this country today.  You have basically accused Mike of killing people all because he didn&#039;t wear a mask.  You are assuming that he has  a.)Contracted COVID b.) Spread COVID to others  c.) The ones that Mike spread COVID two have died.  Heck, even my doctor&#039;s office doesn&#039;t do a mask mandate and my doctor also thinks the media has overhyped COVID.  I guess he has blood on his hands as well?</description>

638 people have died of COVID-19 in Escambia County.

You helped cause that.

and you&#039;re proud of it.

Disgusting.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve ignored her mandate this whole time, and will continue to do so.

Unfortunately, businesses will continue to &quot;require&quot; masks until enough people begin to resist.

I have never worn a mask inside a business, and I encourage everyone to follow my example. I have been refused service only a couple of times over the past year, and this was only when I was out of town. Thankfully, no one in the North Escambia area has given me any problems, as sanity for the most part remains in rural areas.</description>

		<description>What good does she think masks will do when infected aliens are coming across our southern border?  Only to be released throughout our nation, making all our efforts of the last year futile.</description>
