That’s because people are waking up but still afraid to admit mistaking made.

Virginia has a law on the books that states no mask allowed in public. Guess that law is out the window.

Just my opinion but I think maskless people are not uniformed just don't want to wear them for other reasons. I'm not saying to quit trying but I dont think posting an article is going to change anyone's mind.

We always wear masks when around other people but at some point economy does need to reopen so jobs can come back.

One can but follow the prevelant advice from the 'experts' in charge, which alters daily as they learn more about this virus.
Hindsight is a wonderfull thing, but it is a bit late when the horse has long bolted from the stable.
Wife and I now wear a mask when a sign says to do so..
Wife and I wear a mask when we cannot get a decent distance from others, ie. when in stores shopping.
Apart from those occassions we do not wear one.
We are both in most vulnerable group age wise, +80's, but we go out walking every day.
We try to keep some normality in our lives, and will not let this virus rule us completely.
But, we treat it with respect!

The non maskers can puff up all they want. They are entitled to their opinion. For whatever reason they do not accept the purpose of wearing a mask.

That is until they go to their medical provider where a mask is REQUIRED!

Face Masks Can Be Deadly To Healthy People Says Neurologist (https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/megan-fox/2020/05/14/neurosurgeon-says-face-masks-pose-serious-risk-to-healthy-people-n392431?fbclid=IwAR1ajy970Wev4SJwl83AnVGaR4BFzt0ZS 39dR_A1_sWSYjt9EaNq3J8FWJI)

How obtuse can people get... Did you read the correction included in the link posted?

" Neurosurgeon Expresses Concerns Over Wearing Masks [Correction]
Correction: Many in the medical field are disputing Dr. Blaylock’s claims and do not see wearing a mask as a serious risk to healthy people, although people who have breathing difficulties, such as those with COPD, smokers, etc., may be adversely affected. Nor do the masks weaken the immune system, according to these medical professionals. While most concede that hypercapnia is possible, they say it is highly unlikely, especially with cloth masks.."

Apparently I'm not the one being obtuse. I didn't even read the articles. The whole point of posting the 2 links is that anyone can find any article that will back up either side. Anyone can make a study turn out the way they want. Not understanding that is quite obtuse.

My wife and I wear masks AND gloves each time we go out in public. We see lots of older adults wearing masks but seldom
do we encounter younger adults wearing them. Just an observation.

that article was done in March...and it addresses the fact that a mask won't help against getting Covid. the current recommendations for masks address that they keep the wearer from spreading the virus. so my wearing a mask is to help protect others and if everyone does it, it would slow spread.

but knowledge about this virus isn't static. the more learned about it, the more recommendations may need to change.
