I'm not loving the headline related to asymptomatic.  A lot of people are reading "rare" as "impossible." And then there's pre-symtomatic.  I'm still masking.  Do I look silly? Oh well.  At this point, it can't hurt; could help.

Same here.  I don't go out much because I'm in a couple high risk categories, but my wife isn't and we both wear masks if we have to go out.  Why not!?!  It's a minor precaution and may only make a small difference,  but in a pandemic, why wouldn't someone wear a mask, especially if it's just to go into the grocery store or hardware store or pharmacy?  It's no big deal, certainly no big sacrifice, and if it helps one tiny bit, that's a plus.  I get angry seeing lots of people who are either too vain or too selfish to put on a mask in public.

Aesthetically, a mask is definitely an improvement for me.

Not arguing with the dangers of reopening too soon. I’m more in agreement about the hypocrisy of the lockdown. This is ok but this isn’t etc...... none of it is consistent.

I think most of the "inconsistency" is just people, Maher included, failing to understand that some things are essential and others are purely elective.  Dipshits on Facebook respond to everything closure related with an angry "but you can still go to Walmart and it's full of people!" 
Right Jim Bob, it's totally unfair that you can't go to the water park but you can still get groceries and home supplies 🤦‍♂️

Maher has been a tough pill to swallow during this whole restriction period. He has been whining about it non stop. He has a vested interest as his live shows have been canceled.

Just because airlines have been given too much latitude with number of passengers is no reason for him to say he should be able to perform live in an indoor comedy venue.

Many states that opened early are seeing an increase in cases and hospitalizations. And who knows what that will look like in 3 weeks when the impact of protests will be known. Masks and being outdoors can only do so much with this disease. And the US is falling WAY behind in comparison of current cases to the Euro countries that originally had high infections, like Italy, France, UK, etc.

Maher also has an ownership stake in a baseball team. I would take anything he says on the subject with a huge grain of salt.

I'm ready for the pager and shitty nokia phone comeback. It is pretty clear that the too much news era coupled with smart phones and social media isn’t healthy human behavior. 

I have been trying to find a cheap “feature phone” that has good audio quality for a longtime.  I dislike having a computer in my pocket every moment of my life.  The problem is they aren’t making very good phones anymore. I think it’s because they haven’t upgraded the design and feature set since they were Originally designed with the 2G network.  Also lack of consumer demand.

24 hour cable news + baby boomers in power = this mess

"baby boomers in power= this mess"    As a boomer, my first reaction is to be defensive.  My more thoughtful reaction is well described by something a fellow boomer said to me recently regarding racism and other long-standing issues:  "Weren't we supposed to have changes all this?"   Yup- we were going to change the world.  Some things did change but honestly, not much.  Will the genXers, millenials, GenZers do better?  We'll see.  I hope so.
