Nothing is 100 percent, never will be. I'll take my chances thank you. Where do you call it quits? When they enforce wearing anti skid slippers in the shower so you don't break your neck? |

Why can’t people stop trying to FORCE others to wear/not wear a mask? We all actually still have choices. Why should people wear a mask all the time? To wear a mask when running or walking or driving a car or cart is probably more dangerous to the person himself but I see people doing just that with their eyeglasses fogged so they cannot see. Seriously?
Most of the time, I choose to just stay at home so I cannot encounter others’ germs. Easy. No mask required. All you road warriors can fight this out without me. This virus has not certainly not produced kindness and empathy. What everyone ignores about mask wearing is we are not wearing sterilized single-use medical grade masks. We are wearing some flap of Macguyvered fabric that loosely covers—but only if you don’t pull it down exposing your nose (as I’ve seen many do) And we wear them, lay them down, pick them up, wear them again...well you get the idea. If you’re really fastidious, maybe you rinse the cloth with soap & water then hang it to dry before rewearing it. The realistic potential of contaminating yourself are indisputable, but are completely ignored. And I’m really tired of being ordered around by people who have already demonstrated inept decision making. |
Society does not want to walk atound with masks. I don't want people waiting on me and restaurants wearing masks. If you're sick or weak stay home. The rest of us will take our chances and live our lives.

But when I'm in line at Walmart (I know, stupid idea but it's close and the prices are right), I DO expect that the people behind me will stay behind their shopping cart til I pick up the grocery bag and start to leave the lane (I use self-checkout). I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation. It's maybe only 4 feet long total and I'm fine with that. When the guy comes around the front of his cart so he's standing RIGHT NEXT to me, bends over to get something off the peg, so his head is facing my crotch when I turn around to ask him to back off - then he's too close. And he should be ashamed of himself. He should be ashamed of himself - even if there were no virus. And his wife should be ashamed that she defended him. So hey Mr. and Mrs. TooClose - I'm talking about you. And yeah this is me. Do it again and I'll get a manager involved. Back the heck off. There's no reason why you need to get so close to me, I'm not leaving til I'm done, so 8 inches or 5 feet away, you're not going anywhere. |

I’ve always wanted to ask this of someone “in the know:” Why was the science of mask-wearing not readily available before this pandemic ever hit? Why did it appear as though our officials were literally making things up as they went along? Why were we so poorly prepared with stockpiles of PPE and basic medical equipment and supplies when there has been an alphabet soup of other rapidly spreading contagions recently (SARS, MERS Ebola, H1N1, Bird Flu, not to mention TB and others) These have spanned several administrations so please don’t don’t the easy route of blamzing it on the other party. Many people in other countries have been methodically donning masks for a long time prior to 2020, ostensibly because their homelands have recently endured other contagions like SARS & they were told masks would help. Didn’t the Japanese, Chinese, Indian or South Korean health officials study the effectiveness of the masks their own citizens have been wearing? Or, does the CDC routinely dismiss foreign science strictly because it isn’t American science? It sure seems as if that must be the case. If so, then some science isn’t nearly as reliable as other science & therein lies the problem because validity then becomes a matter of judgment and is open to interpretation. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us. |

FIRST: The statistic that shows that wearing masks in China did not help the spread (also that they have been wearing them for years). SECOND: Where have millions tested positive but either have not gotten sick or recovered. Thanks in advance! If no facts, will you please remove your post? |
