Sorry, but I will NOT condone a mask mandate. I will entertain suggestions related to the safety of wearing a mask and maybe even go along with the mass hysteria and wear my mask like a good lil citizen. But, I will not agree with a Federal mandate to wear a mask and will not wear one if such a thing happens. Sorry, but I am not a needy lemming that will be lead around by the gov nanny. A CDC suggestion does not warrant a law.
How many of you will start wearing a mask during Flu season? Well if the gov decides that they got away with mandating a mandate for the virus, a flu mandate will be next.
Sorry, but as far as I am concerned you all are a bunch of needy babies that think that just because someone tells you that you will be safer if you wear a mask, wear a helmet, wear a seatbelt, that you NEED a law to make you wear one. Can't you use your own common sense and make your own decisions. Don't put the blame on me if you do not like what other people are doing. Being nosy and feeling the need to interfere with other folks living, is being a pest.
Beware of what you ask the gov to do FOR you. I am not anti government. I just believe in limitations when it comes to power. Once the vaccine is available I will NOT wear a mask again. Until then, I will wear a mask when I think it is necessary. I don't owe any of you anything, especially those on here that disparage this great nation. As far as I am concerned, those that suggest that other countries are laughing at us, do not know what they are speaking of. Until you live half you life in other countries, you do not know enough to even suggest that anyone in other countries would not give up their own families to be able to live here. The only thing they laugh at is the spoiled citizens that complain about how rough they have it here. I did not spend most of my life in service for this country to have a bunch of nobodies put down this great country, so I owe none of you anything. I paid in full, just like many others in my family before me.
You cry about how the gov MUST mandate masks for everyone, but you have no clue as to how it would be enforced. The police aren't going to enforce a mask law. They have way more important things to do than to babysit a bunch of no-loads. Will the mandate stipulate how one must wear the mask? Will it stipulate what an acceptable mask would be? Perhaps eye protection also? How about mandating gloves also? What a bunch of BS .
No one is arguing the fact that wearing a mask can protect to a certain extent. It is not the only thing that can protect. Long sleeved shirts, eye protection, gloves, and just plain staying at home....all protect to a certain extent.
The vaccine will be out shortly and then you won't have anything to complain about. Can't wait for the Flu season to get underway. Wonder how many will wear their masks then. After all, the mask protects...........
