I tend to find the state’s flatness a little disconcerting as well, especially since I’m a runner, and hills are a good challenge for runners.
But I’m moving there anyway.
For all in TN, this issue is going on here. Senate Bill 0320 and House Bill 0794.
This bill PROTECTS both businesses & CONSUMERS FROM medical device (mask) discrimination & RETRIBUTION (if they don’t wear masks).

There’s a good video here:

I’ll be calling my Senator and Representative today to give support.
I’ve been following lawsuits in several states (Montana among them)...thanks for the heads up!
“Face diapers have been the growth industry of 2020”
And mostly for Wuhan, China. Hubby was a Hospice volunteer so had to buy some and they were made in Wuhan. How convenient. Fauci and the libs don’t even try to hide their money laundering and payoff schemes.
“Just about every person I know that has had COVID has been able to trace it to a visit to a restaurant. Go figure.”
That’s so funny, since the length of time from exposure until “coming down with it” varies from person to person. There’s no POSSIBLE way to know where exposure happened. Families who were quarantined, basically choosing to lock themselves within their own homes for weeks, contracted WuFlu.
We eat out a few times a week here in TN. Since May, nobody wears masks in restaurants except the wait staff. We don’t know anyone who got it.
When the scamdemic started I tried to make reservations at the golf course grille, and they asked for the cell numbers of everyone in the party. “WHY?” “Contact tracing.” “Thank you, Adolph, but no.”
Sure there’s a risk w/ restaurants, just as there is a high risk with almost anywhere, except, perhaps, outdoors. My husband’s friend threw a 40 person party, almost all got infected. I have distant family & friends who got it from family members, others from co-workers. I must have heard about 100 people who’ve caught it around here. But I only know of 3 who have died: all elderly, all sick or w/ co-morbidities, all in nursing homes.
I live on Long Island, NY.
“Last I heard, the incubation period for the WuFlu was 10-14 days.”
The correct phrase is “up to 14 days”. Depending on viral load it can be as low as 1 day.
Unless you live in the boonies the halcyon days of a 14 day incubation are long gone. It’s in all population areas now.
Getting sick is ALL about the viral load a person receives.
Masks are useless but not totally useless. Like shoveling sand with tennis racket.
People under 50 and healthy are just asymptomatic. They’re still infected and should keep that in mind when around the vulnerable.
The people doing avoidance and social distancing are doing it right. Let ‘em be.
Minimize proximate contact with others to reduce viral loading from-you and from others to-you.
Anyone who thinks wearing a mask is submitting to tyranny is too timid to appreciate freedom and too feral to defend it.
I’ve put off medical appointments and go out as little as possible. Just essential shopping and errands. It’s depressing. I am not in the best shape and wearing a mask is torture, plus fogs up my glasses so I can’t see.
I see people in cars all by themselves wearing two masks! How are the people so easily conditioned? I want to get in better shape, but the gyms here require masks be worn even during excercise, and I just can’t. I cannot wait for Spring, so I can take long walks again and get dirty looks for not wearing a mask outdoors! Yes, even lone hikers wear masks here. Most of my fellow NYers are sheep.
The SB 329 and HB 794 video contained in the link you provided in most excellent. Please consider posting it as its own thread to inform others around the country about this legislation.
I’ve never done a post before, so will need to figure it out. I can try this afternoon after a few hours of errands.
If you want to take it on earlier, here is a MUCH better link to the video.

He notes that several states have taken note of the these House and Senate bills, and are considering following suit.
Sigh. I am with you. I find it profoundly depressing to see this in my fellow Americans.
I met a very independent type here in NH who requires NO face masking.
If you come in with one, he kicks you out.
His mask policy, which he’s required by law to have one, is no masks allowed.
Masks are useless but not totally useless. Like shoveling sand with tennis racket.

Anyone who thinks wearing a mask is submitting to tyranny is too timid to appreciate freedom and too feral to defend it.
How about in your neck of the woods?
Bummer. We’re in Loudon, and my sis is in Roane.
I did shoot an email our Senator and Representative about this. Maybe it will make a difference.
It might...good luck!
Not at the state level.
Paper will lie still and let you write anything on it.
“So you’re trying to tell me that wearing a mask is nearly totally useless, but if I don’t want to wear one I’m timid and feral?”
Nothing close to what I wrote. Allow me to rephrase:
People who don’t wear a mask due the belief they’re ‘resisting tyranny’ are selfie-morons. They’re not protecting anyone or resisting tyranny.
Welcome to Florida!
Go out and walk/run/bike without a mask. Is it law in NY to wear a mask outdoors?
Have a 2 story house? Climbing stairs is an excellent way to exercise. Start slow and build up.
Free weights are cheap. Buy some to tone upper body.
Check out used exercise equipment-—eg stationary bike, total gym, rowing machine.
MAKE IT part of your routine. I bicycle for an hour EVERY DAY AT THE SAME TIME. It is part of my schedule. No excuses.
I did this by convincing myself that I goofed off at least an hour a day. So, I put that time to exercise. I really miss it if I miss a day.
Good luck and happy exercising.
oh and probably change your diet. Lots of threads here on FR about Keto.
