Asymptomatic spread is not the main driver of a pandemic, it is extremely rare.

The reason we have more cases is that no matter what you or the government attempts to do, stopping the spread of a common corona respiratory virus is futile.  We can slow it down with some measures, but eventually everyone is going to be exposed to it, and most probably already have.  Keeping viral loads low will reduce the number of severe infections but freaking out over healthy adults is not science.  Asymptomatic spread is not the main driver of a pandemic, it is extremely rare.
You know, it all sounds good until you realize that the vast majority of epidemiologists and virologists disagree with you.

This can be controlled a lot better than we are controlling it. We aren’t willing to do what is necessary. Our grandfathers and great grandfathers stormed the beaches at Normandy for the good of humanity. We bitch like children when we’re asked to wear a mask for the good of humanity.

Then you and the mouse in your pocket should quit bitching and wear your masks!

I’ve been to the north side of Chicago probably 30 times since lockdown ended and everyone was wearing masks. Any public establishment was very strict. I was in downtown Champaign Friday night at several establishments. Black Dog requires you to have a mask on when interacting with servers at your table. I was in a Walmart an hour south of Chicago yesterday and I saw but one person not wearing a mask the whole time I was in there. Efuckingnuff already with the no one is wearing masks nonsense.

The WHO and CDC and Fauci and everyone have said that asomptomatic spread is not the main disease vector.  Its basic fucking science.  Virus infects a a person, they get all boogery n shit, and they cough, sneeze, whatever and it spreads... if you aren't showing or having any symptoms as a healthy person its difficult to spread something... the shit travels on droplets (from symptomatic inflammation and swelling of cells) not air molecules. 

As for your second comment, I wholeheartedly disagree.  This is a flu virus not the friggin nazis lol, and everywhere I go people are complying with all these ridiculous rules and its doing jack fucking shit to stop the spread.  The whole "we need to lock down harder" idea is completely insane as doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I believe you can infer from Custard's anecdotal evidence that three locations in Illinois are a good representation of what's happening in Coeur d'Alene,  Shreveport and Pensacola.

People are people, after all.

I’ve notice near universal mask usage in grocery stores and other retail businesses where I shop.    That’s good, but the issue of transmission doesn’t stop with large public settings.   

There’s evidence that small group gatherings are a growing source of viral spread.  This includes family events and holiday celebrations where people are less likely to wear a mask and social distance.   People also tend to spend more time together in small gatherings, which means more opportunity for exposure.  Smaller rooms make social distancing difficult, if not impossible.
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fauci-says-small-gatherings-driving-new-covid-outbreaks-worries-about-n1245159

Bars can also be a problem.   We all know the mask is not 100% effective in stopping the spread of the virus.   People tend to talk louder to hear one another in a bar.  This can contribute to the production of more virus aerosols.   Poor ventilation in bars can also increase risk as it may cause the virus to accumulate in the air.   And like small family gatherings, exposure is prolonged in bars. 
https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/postings/2020/11/aerosols.php

And then we still have some bars flouting mask mandates and other COVID safety protocols.   Here’s a sampling of articles from Florida.

Luckily no one is forcing you to go to bars, have small or large gatherings, or to even leave your home!

I never said nobody is wearing masks. Not enough people are wearing masks, and not enough people are doing what is right for humanity because they’re too goddamn selfish.

Your continued fallacy is your belief that because I am not going to these gatherings, it means I am not affected by those who do.
