I'm willing to bet nearly all did. When you can die in any way other than of the direct disease, test positive, get reported as a rona death and then earn the state or hospital reporting $$, the fix is in.

I don’t blame hospital for reporting every death as Covid19. They would be going bankrupt if they reported deaths correctly. More and more stories coming out about how much hospitals are making from reporting deaths as Covid19 vs what the actual cause was.

Our local Baptist Hospital has been suffering, only 28 Covid reported deaths. They laid off over half the staff. We got beds and no one to care for the sick if we get any. Thank god they have opened up again.

Let's be honest. A large percentage of the people refusing to wear masks are doing so as a sign of their contempt for the scientists and professionals telling them they really need to wear them. Also a sign of solidarity with Trump on his minimizing it.

All you have to do is see that the people arguing against masks are the same people claiming that the numbers are inflated for political reasons.

No. When I go to the store I don’t wear a mask. It’s not because I think CV19 is a hoax. Nor do I have a secret shrine to the orange man in the coat closet. I don’t wear a mask because the odds of getting CV19 are infinitesimal. And if I do get it, I will most likely make a full recovery or never even know I even had it. Now, that doesn’t mean I lick the shopping carts for luck, nor do I invade the personal space of a complete stranger. I use common sense.

I wear a mask in stores that ask me to. That’s out of respect for the position they are in. I find myself in the same position. Tough to get people back to work and fear is the most often thing they cite. Now, I am well aware that in most cases it’s probably bs, but I do believe to be true for many. Especially older ones. If it makes them feel safer to work then I want to encourage it. Interestingly enough, prior to today, I would say 80-90% of the shoppers at my Publix have been wearing masks. Today it was less then 20%.

That is interesting. I noted a couple days ago, if I drive towards Houston to go to a Lowe’s or Home Depot the workers and most shoppers are wearing masks but a half hour the other direction to Huntsville and almost nobody was wearing one.

It stood out to me because I go to the store every other day. So it was surprising. My guess is that people are getting used to GA being open.

But my reasoning is that freedom is the priority. It’s not about economy over lives. It’s a false dichotomy. Let people choose how they want to operate their businesses and consumers choose how they want to deal with the risks.

I think the motive for wanting the economy reopened is irrelevant. The ability to anticipate or even just appreciate the consequences (People feeling less secure) of the advocated action (reopened economy) is when the refusal to mitigate (wear a mask) becomes selfish.

I also don’t think that’s a false dichotomy, but I believe what you’re saying is more that there are additional possible motives than economic recovery.
