If all Americans wore masks, the economy would improve.

If everyone wore masks, and we stopped the spread, the economy could go up, as cases go down! The hard part is Trump doesn’t wear one, and doesn’t encourage people to wear them. Take politics out of the equation, if the President encouraged people, and wore one himself, perhaps that would have less folks feeling so cavalier about the spread of the virus.

Masks are fine, but it’s not going to cause a recovery. I believe it’s either giving into fear of learning to live with it. Wear a mask! No problem. Shut the whole country down again! Hell no!!!

This is tricky question because in some business it’s very difficult for a mask to actually help improve the social distancing required for proper health codes...many people refuse to wear them because then they think it’s unconstitutional I think the big reason the economy is doing so poorly is FEAR and no matter if you were wearing a mask you cannot change mentality of people

Economic recoveries happen when consumers spend more money. Does putting on a mask make you feel like  spending more of your money?  I didn’t think so. The two aren’t really related, are they?

Robert Kaplan used to work for Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs funds the Biden mask mandate narrative. Lockdowns and restrictions are what is causing a slump.

Everyone needs to wear a mask. It needs to be a two way street. They may not be fun to wear, but we do a lot of not so fun things for the sake of our health in the past

It's not easy to tie the health factor to the economy but if we avoid the spread, the economy can open up

But we live in a “can’t tell me what to do” society. 🤦🏻‍♂️

And if we slow the spread, the economy can open up

Absolutely agree, so do you feel it has an impact on the economy?

I do too. I wish none of this ever happened. But working in a surgical ward, I can see the damage this has done firsthand. Health safety has to take priority as long as it takes.

We should all wear masks but I wish we would open the economy
