Cases are supposed to go up as we open. The virus is here to stay but we act like it's supposed to go away after lockdown which is not how it works. There is nothing wrong with cases going up, it's about what we can handle. We either get infected now at manageable levels, or stay locked down and keep numbers low, ruin the economy only to get infected anyway at a later time.

To those people I say: stay the fuck away from me and my family please!

Masks do offer some protection. Doctors wear them because they are exposed to a huge viral load and so they need it more than anyone else. Even still, the nursing home down the street had 20 nurses wearing full gear and changing it every hour and all still got infected. Most were asymptomatic. All of the residents got infected too and most were asymptomatic. The point is that the virus will get us all with most of us not getting sick, front line workers manage the levels which is why it;s important for them to wear masks.
This isn't about masks or no masks,. That's just isolating one factor from a whole. We are going about this all wrong.
