and the lives lost are predicted to nearly double by spring if so many noncompliant fools and Trump cultists continue down the same path.

Don't comply, then you don't fly. Want to be an asshole and be belligerent? Step over to this room and sit down, an agent will have a word with you soon. Hope you're in no hurry.

The real problem with mask mandates is there is little or no legal enforcement mechanism in most states. In addition, if it was against the law, most areas of the country don't have enough police to enforce it. In Kentucky, all we can do is report the store to our state health department.

That said, I'm all for making it illegal on an emergency basis for people to be indoors in public places without a mask or not maintaining safe distancing, with stiff fines for breaking the rules and jail time for multiple violations.

Stores, churches and other places where people gather should require masks for entry and people who don't wear one while inside stores should not be allowed to check out any merchandise.

It may even be possible to deputize store employees to assist regular law enforcement.

It's time for drastic, war time type measures....... ......

KY rant done..........

do that too. Sane and responsible people need to stop looking for the logic in their actions or arguments--Donnie told them what to do, and they are doing it, even if it kills them.
