thus we establish the practice of still wearing underpants when we do not actually need to at all times, and the same goes for the mask.
why take it off if it means you have to put it back on again, and let it be at least as comfortable as your underpants.
It's similar logic as choosing not to make your bed or coil the garden hose. Why do the task if you will just have to make your bed and roll up the hose again? And again. And again. I'm glad most of us wash our laundry though.

What I'm wondering is why restaurants and other places that allow you to take your mask off at times when the risk from sharing air is best documented source of infection make a big deal about disinfecting surfaces. "We're doing a deep cleaning."

I don't understand why we can't have UV-C filters in HVAC

Cost, they wouldn't be that effective without making sure that airflow in a space avoids anybody breathing anyones exhalations before air has been through the HVAC system is the first thing the comes to mind. I don't know how effective the UV-C systems are, but the last time I looked the virus had a half life that would make it expensive to do with moving air another instance of cost being a factor.
Probably doable, probably not for a small business right now. There probably hasn't been enough testing done on how effective it would be to count on it.

I often wear my mask when I'm cold, when my allergies are acting up (the humidity helps sooth my sinuses a bit), etc, even when alone. Masks are kinda just...useful articles of clothing lol. Not really an "overcompliance" issue.

hopwefully the veil will cease being ostracized, after masks are fully accepted. also we are hopeful that mask-hating wont increase veil hating and other anti-muslim or anti-other tendencies.

I caught covid from firefighter/paramedics who I always wore a mask around...n95. It turned out most had covid at the time. It is no guarantee. Fortunately it only took me out for a week. I got a couple small pre-existing conditions, but I am a pretty big and strong guy even in my 50s. Being stupid about it is a social thing...becoming a weird status thing...not a real need. Outside...in your car...alone...not necessary. The help it provides is 50/50. My state right now is the worst covid spot on Earth...welcome to Arizona...lol.

Lets all go into permanent quarantine. We can eat rats attracted to the mounds of trash and the flesh of those who couldn't hang...

Although Fauci has repeatedly insisted during the last 9 months schools should remain open, many millions of kids remain at home in quarantine isolation. Is ignoring Fauci’s expert view about this issue overcompliance? Or maybe Fauci is wrong and should be ignored. Fauci has such a stellar approval rating, it’s interesting so many unions and district leaders and politicians think they know better than the great Lord Fauci. Maybe the "Better safe than sorry" overcompliance approach is harmful in this situation?

My wife is a teacher. She prefers the classroom but if grandma died because grandson gave her covid lawsuits erupt. Even if grandson just got the sniffles. Dr. Fauci gives scientific data but he is not a lawyer.

This is actually a very interesting point I hadn't considered; the ramifications of empirical science vs human mad (preference, lol) law.
That could be a paper, lol.

Yeah but how do you prove who gave covid to whom if you can still transmit with a mask and no symptoms?
If you test everyone for infection and more than one have a positive result, were wearing masks and social distancing then good luck with any lawsuit
Who should be responsible if it's a chain of infections? The first person? All of them?
