I would say most folks on this forum are here to educate those who refuse to wear masks, not bully them. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I think that's how the saying goes.

Masks are not to prevent a person from catching the virus. Masks are to reduce the spread of the virus. If two people are wearing masks and are talking to each other, the risk of catching the virus is very low. Add 6 feet between those two people and the risk is even less. Why not minimize the risk? FINALLY our president is advocating wearing a mask. His reason of it being patriotic is not exactly why I wear a mask but it's better than nothing, coming from the leader of the free world. I wear a mask to slow the spread and do my part to get our economy back up and running again.
