You wear a seat belt in a car, a helmet when on a motorcycle, why not protect your self and those around you in this situation?

The Delta variant is 40% more infectious. Allowing it to spread allows even more of a chance for it to mutate into even more infectious, deadly forms that infect children and infants at a higher rate and which an prove impervious to vaccines. We are ignoring basic tenets of biology and epidemiolog

The patriotic thing to do is to protect the unprotected for everyone’s benefit. That is for the young under 12 and the uniformed. Science always will win over big. Mouths.

It has been scientifically proven that wearing a mask cuts down on spreading germs. Last year incidents of the regular flu were markedly much smaller because people were wearing masks. I don't like wearing a mask any more than anybody else but I do it to protect myself and others

We went back to "normal" too soon. Delta was already on the rise and that should have been enough to tell the health authorities we needed to continue with precautions. Get the vaccine or stay sequestered from the rest of us.

The health and safety of everyone require we wear masks to rid the world of covid. We need to follow science and get vaccinations and wear masks. It won't be forever unless people don't do their part.

Delta spreads easier than the original strain, appears to be making the unvaccinated sicker than the original strain, and is breaking through vaccines. Our hospitals are already strained. Putting on a mask just isn't that hard.

Why are vaccinated people required to mask? Because they can get COVID! If you're scared vaccinate, mask up and shut up! The breakthrough cases are allowing the virus to mutate just like people not completing their series of antibiotics are creating drug resistant superbugs.

Delta Variant is more contagious but is less harmful than a cold. Commie Kate absolutely has no right to mandate anything. Not to mention the fact that there is absolutely no evidence that face masks have any effect on virus containment.

I feel it should be each person's choice. If they say the mask keeps others from getting sick from me and I'm not sick then why should I have to wear one. Plus it isn't healthy to breathe all your carbon monoxide from wearing a mask.

For one, I got covid while wearing a mask everywhere. I don't see the proof of it working if cases continue to rise. Two, if this vaccine is suppose to work( it doesn't) then why are we taking a step back. Three. How many of these covid tests are false positives? It's all bs.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!
