When I wear a mask I do it not because I believe that masks are really necessary but to make the fearful less fearful. I'm conflicted as to whether or not that is actually the right thing to do because I really do not like the precedent this is setting. |

It is real. It is new. It harms and kills, but not everyone. It is kind of like a serial killer, lurking and waiting. People can decide to get locks (masks) or not...............

The solution was given above in Post #5. Perhaps you didn't see it.

I'm sure the server wears a mask as a requirement by their employer to work. According to those that are supposed to know, the age group of most servers put them in a low risk category, but they can be carriers and spread it to their more vulnerable clientele. You work, you want tips, you have customers willing to take a chance and eat out, catch twenty two.

I also have young adult children who have their entire lives ahead of them. They need to work and get an education so that they will be able to provide for their own families one day and save for their own retirements. Children need to play and go to school with their friends. They need to have fun family trips to places like Disney World. Is it morally right for a high risk group to expect a low risk group to give up their own freedom in the small chance that it actually benefits the higher risk group in some way? Is it morally right for people who have the security of guaranteed retirement income to expect businesses to close or operate at greatly reduced capacity causing hardworking people to lose their jobs all in the name of safety? Especially if the people losing everything aren't at much risk from the virus anyway? I'm not a whippersnapper myself anymore and I feel as though I'm balancing in the middle of a teeter totter. Maybe it's better to let people decide what their own risk factors are and mitigate their own risks accordingly. I think we will ALL have much bigger problems if we don't do just that. |

Doubtful anyone's mind will be changed regarding masks at this point.
But what do you tell friends and family if you contract the disease and have to tell them they are at risk because of you? What answer do you give if they ask if you wore a mask. Or how would someone feel if they contracted COVID, infected a loved one and lost that person to the disease. What answer would you give your grandchildren when they ask if you wore a mask or not around grandma before she contracted The disease from you? |

You cannot get into a doctor's office without wearing a mask.

The second issue is wearing of masks and whether or not it is saving any lives and is it saving lives of the younger and "cough cough" more valuable people??? After all as was stated, the old are going to kick the bucket soon anyway. Truth is the damned virus is mutating and may be working on killing a lot of younger, more attractive and vibrant people than just the old fogies. It may even have it's sites set on little tiny adorable infants. I think that it is wise to wear a mask and try to keep those ******* Covid-19's at bay as much as we can. No matter how young or old we are.

If Mom moved into my house and expected the same sort of restricted lifestyle we would have a problem. My young adult kids are working, engaging in activities and are in and out of the house. I am around other people, some wearing masks, some not wearing masks. Have we been exposed to the virus? Probably. But we've never had any symptoms. If we were symptomatic we would stay home. Period. I follow the rules in any given store or business and wear a mask if I am requested to. But otherwise I don't really think about it. |

Good newS no one is complaining that the bridges are not open.
I have more on my plate than who chooses to wear a mask. I wear one 16 hours straight, once I am out of facility I have 8 hours to breathe normal. Most mask wearing is inconsistent with how to wear one. I don’t expect anyone to try to protect me.

Maybe restaurants could reopen at full capacity and have special high risk hours for those who prefer stricter social distancing measures. Same thing with stores, gyms, rec centers, country clubs. How do we find a middle ground where we can assess and manage our own risk factors? |

Initially doctors thought that if you had the infection you'd feel sick and know it, and therefore stay home, so no need to wear a mask for protection of others. Now they know you can be infected and not know it, therefore everyone should wear a mask in public to help protect others. As to protecting yourself, a typical cloth mask offers only a small degree of protection, and the N95 masks, which do offer you good protection, were in especially short supply and needed by doctors, nurses, etc. I don't think they lied, but have changed positions based upon the change in what facts are known. The known facts now are that wearing even the typical cloth mask can protect you a little, and protect others a great deal, so when you are around other people, especially indoors, you should wear one. |
