There is a clear medical consensus that wearing a mask DOES decrease the risk of transmitting Covid 19 to others.

So protecting children from dying from whooping cough Is OK but protecting the over 20% of NH vulnerable residents is against libertarian principles.

If you don’t want to wear a mask, then don’t; but justifying it
because of traditional NH libertarian principles seems a bit of a stretch.
Your position lives or dies with the statement "a clear medical consensus that wearing a mask DOES decrease the risk of transmitting [the Chinese coronavirus] to others." I disagree with this statement. I chose to believe Dr. Fraud's first position on masks. Let's be frank, there is no science behind any of this. We are making it up as we go. It seems to me we got this wrong. We forced healthy people to shutter in place. And we've failed to protect the most vulnerable. Anyway, I disagree with all of this nonsense, and I suspect history will be on my side when all this is said and done.

I hope when history is written you are correct and many people do not die unnecessarily.

This is pretty funny coming from you. Just a short while ago you were telling us that this is no worse than the flu or H1N1. We are now at or closing in on 3X typical flu deaths and 10X the H1N1 deaths.

And that's after the COVID-19 number have been held down by what you described as overreacting
