I agree with your main point that we will not do what we are asked to do, but we are not doomed. The uninformed will not doom us there are sufficient people who still have some intelligent brain cells left who WILL do the right thing to help the rest o us.

I see this in a slightly different light ..... many, if not MOST, of the non-maskers are older men, so if they get the virus and end up dying earlier than they should we will have no problem with social security running out early!!!!!:

Most nurses and doctors wear those masks for 8-16 hours every single day, and don't get sick from their own nitrogen or bacteria.

Go ahead and believe what you want but if we were meant to have Coronavirus in the world, the world would've been born with it. Also don't force what YOU feel is right on other people. Your germs - stay away from MY breathing space.

Wear a mask if you're going to be in a crowded space. Or, don't be in crowded spaces.

Nothing like a good ole mask in 90 degree heat. Please. Common sense over fear.

Let’s put this in some perspective in a more simple way to understand it. Sorry if this is crude but want to get the point across.

If you and I are both standing naked and I turn toward you and urinate you are going to get wet. If you put on clothes and I urinate you will still get wet but not near as much as when you were naked. If I put on clothes most will be stopped by my clothes but some might still get out and if you’re naked and too close you could still get wet. If we both have clothes on you will not get wet.

Once again, just trying to give a little perspective. It is totally incorrect to say masks do not provide protection. The more of us who wear them the better protection for everyone.

Wearing masks everyday in China didn’t help the spread....they’ve been wearing them for years. Every time I wear one for more than just a few minutes I get a sore throat or feel lightheaded. We’re all going to do what makes us comfortable. It’s not your place to judge me or me you. If I’m sick, I stay home...I’d hope you’d do the same. Millions have tested positive and either haven’t gotten sick or have recovered.

If you don’t think masks help I have a challenge for you. Hold a lit candle in front of your face with no mask on and blow directly at the candle. Does the flame blow out?

Now put on a mask and do the same thing. Let us know just how easy it is to blow out that flame with the mask on. How close do you have to be to the flame before it blows out if you can even blow it out?

Masks help the looters remain anonymous. Simple. I CANT BREATHE 🤔 take off the mask. Problem solved.
Oh I’m putting up a chain link fence to keep the mosquitoes out.

I did read your article Coffeebean and thank you. Why these people don't want to do their share in slowing the spread of this deadly virus is beyond me. And the commend about breathing your own nitrogen (oxide) really gave me a laugh. Grow up people, listen to the scientists and help save a few lives. One could be yours.

I wear a mask to protect you. If I sneeze, cough or in any way propel the virus, the spittle is stopped by the mask. In the same way, you protect me when you wear a mask. None of the preventive aids are full proof, but your just giving up on wearing masks, washing hands and social distancing just doesn’t make sense.

Masks do not stop vapors pure and simple, they are political statements and nothing more..
