It's a sad commentary that the issue of mask wearing is now partisan.  Why it's considered bad by Republicans and others in the Red camp is amazing, in and of itself.  That it's considered an affront to the Orange One and a sign of true bravado is a level of cult fanaticism that's new to me.  I guess it goes with drinking bleach.  

I would argue that the making partisan of mask wearing is coming solely from the Blues.  This COVID-19 is about as deadly as the flu meaning unless you aren't already dying of something you're perfectly safe from it.

The latest scare of toxic shock in children exposed to the virus is probably a overreaction by their immune systems because their foolish parents didn't permit them to develop their own immune system naturally.  See all the other allergies people seem to be having these days.

Finally the idea behind the masks anyway is to prevent you from spreading the virus if you have it, not to prevent you from getting it.

Like your mentor, you seem totally at ease practicing medicine without a license.  Carry on. 

I suppose it is too late to suggest that you ingest disinfectant.  That being said I can read statistics and do maths, I also know a little something about viruses and medicine having a RN for a mother.  Covid-19 is very very very over hyped.

As for the second wave...I hope it wipes out all those foolish enough to agree to be locked down "for their own good".

But I'll leave you with this little ditty from the last President we had that was halfway decent before Trump:
