FACT: Cloth masks have been shown to be a significantly effective deterrent to the spread of covid-19. Experts no longer debate this.
Not wearing a mask in public can mean you do not care if you give covid-19 to someone else. That is a personal statement of selfishness. Unless you have already recovered from the virus and tested negative twice, you can have no confidence that you are virus-free, no matter how healthy you feel. Even after recovery, it is not established how long you retain immunity. Thus, you are taking a chance with the lives of those around you, when you do not wear a mask in public and remain within 6 feet of others. The risk is less outdoors where air currents can dissipate virus concentration. However, thinking only of the risk to yourself without concern for the risk you may pose to others is un-American.

Damn right! All tough UNTIL they are screaming, "Save Me, Doctor! Please DON'T LET ME DIE" DESPITE how many innocents they contaminate.
All I can say is, "OPEN OR CLOSED CASKET?".

Unfortunately, wearing a mask has been made the p word!!!!

How about those on the campaign trail that just tested positive for Covid, that is part of the campaign “ wear a mask protect others.

If only they would understand and follow the original words to this quote..
In other words get off your FAT A$$ and get a job and stop begging for cheese....

[davem4616]

we wear masks whenever we go out and about, period...even though science clearly tells us that the virus is able to freely pass through any mask

we just don't want to put up with the judgmental stares from the self-righteous if either of us dared to step out in public without a mask

Just a asking, as anyone given thought to wearing a mask, fiddling with a mask, re-use of a mask, incorrect storage of a mask, improper fit of a mask, Improper disposal of a mask, wearing the mask under your nose, may just lead to spreading of the virus?

Not really! The ones who are afraid of their own shadows without a mask on have been ........... bamboozled, as you said. Masks are now as full of germs as cell phones. And think of this . . . . Oh never mind. This discussion has become totally pointless since this pandemic and mask wearing has become so politicized.

It didn't mean what you think it meant. And it still doesn't mean that. JFK was referring specifically to public and civic service, not to employment opportunities.

The virus doesn't pass freely through any mask. It is restricted to passing through via moisture droplets. That's why it is important to maintain a social distance WHILE wearing a mask. So that someone else's breath (which contains moisture), sneeze, cough, or spittle when they talk, won't land on the mask.
