Default Happy to hear it

I am on oxygen and glad that TV is caring about everyone’s health. Unfortunately a lot of people here do not care about
People with health problems.

I would rather wear a facemask now than a respirator later.

Common sense. If you are going to sneeze or cough do it into your sleeve. Distancing 6 ft. or more will eliminate the problem with speaking to someone. Newspaper today says the WHO and CDC says masks are only needed when treating people with Covid19. Who do we believe?

No! I haven’t worn masks in the past but when you look at how the countries that do, they have a much better record against COVID than we do. Think this old Dawg can learn new tricks. Won’t kill me. Well, maybe if do catch the virus, it won’t kill you.
Have a blessed day.

IMO, I would rather wear a facemask now than a respirator later. This is how I think and follow
The recommendations of the CDC, Dr. Fauci, and all other knowledgeable infectious disease scientist

An additional 20-50 million suffer non-fatal injuries, often resulting in long-term disabilities.


So, if you are wearing a seat belt, which only protects you, you only care about yourself. What you actually should be doing is handing in your license and selling your car(s) so that there is no chance you could hurt/kill anyone. Just like you may not know you have the virus until too late, you may not know you will be the one to cause an accident until it occurs.

Obvious enforcement.
No secret to how something works (or doesn't).

Or, why does someone say "Thank You" when someone holds the door open for them? It's not enforced - it's just a nice thing to do.

I'm not in favor of enforcing masks and firmly believe I'm not ill, but wear one (only when I'm in closed public areas) to encourage the public acceptance of mask wearing and keep other people wearing theirs.

Just because someone chooses not to wear a mask doesn't mean they don't care about you. It just means they have common sense enough to know that no mask keeps out a virus and causes you to breathe in your own carbon dioxide which injures your immune system and causes other problems. So stay home if you must and weaken your own immune system and catch every virus that goes around while the rest of us get back to being normal.

It is not a KNOWN action to reduce infection. Masks protect against bacteria not viruses. Bacteria are about a thousand times larger than a virus. Sort of like trying to keep out mosquitoes with a chain link fence.

Masks do NOT reduce the spread of the virus. Total myth.

More than that, they have become a symbol that perpetuates fear and the idea that we are helpless sheep subject to the whim of those politicians who want to continue locking us down. The economic repercussions of a continued lock down will kill more people and destroy more lives than CV-19.
I see it this way......The economy can open up more quickly and safely if Americans follow guidelines such as social distancing, wearing masks and washing hands frequently. Adhering to these guidelines will boost the American people's confidence to "get out there" and get this economy going again. Fear be damned!

It's compelling and speaks to the ability of masks (even home-made) to stop bacteria. But it isn't evidence of viral effectiveness. I'm NOT suggesting that they have no effectiveness against virus, simply that this picture/post doesn't prove it.

Really? Today? That seems like very old news. In addition, our president has pulled the US out of the WHO within the next week. What does that mean to us?
