Just a thought, but... isn't that kinda the problem?
And I see a LOT more people wearing masks now than I saw in June and July, so somebody -- a lot of somebodies -- already have changed their mind on wearing masks... people who weren't wearing them in June but are wearing them in September. Hell, President Trump is one of them. We also know more about the virus now in September than we knew back in April, May, or June. When new information becomes available, people should -- and do -- reconsider the decisions they made before that new information came in.
Normally, I don't bother with trying to change people's minds over the internet. But this... this is kinda important. Some people are dying from this virus, and many many more are living through the virus but suffering long-term heart damage and neurological effects from it. If I fail to change your mind about tax policy, nobody's going to die. If I fail to change your mind about wearing masks, someone around you could suffer permanent health effects or even die.
I think that's worth typing a few words on the internet. I type fast anyway.
