I wore one to a restaurant and glad I had it on while waiting for the food because a guy at next table kept coughing and had no mask. I felt was better than having no mask although doesn’t entirely protect you from that other person.

AMC is making masks mandatory. (is that too many "m's" in a row?)

Then stay home. Requiring everyone to wear a mask is ridiculous. Masks CANNOT keep any virus out and, if you have the virus, you should not BE OUT! How easy is that?

pre-COVID we'd go to TV movies almost every week. Now, nope - no interest for many many months no doubt. Would ONLY consider this year IF there is a Super-Duper movie out.

There is STILL so much to see on our DirecTV, HBO, and Netflix. And theaters, now too close for comfort. We're spoiled at home.

Because it’s still a free country! If you feel safer with a mask then use one. If the establishment requires that you use one then that’s it’s policy and it’s your choice to go in or not. I for one will not be dictated to, it’s my choice!

Are you free to walk into a movie theater with no pants or underwear on? I didn't think so.

As for the mask......I don't feel safer when I wear a mask. I feel safer when you wear a mask. I don't think you have grasped that concept yet. Hopefully, you will come to the realization that the mask protects others. Your mask protects me and my mask protects you.

I have thought more about my comments about theaters requiring people to wear masks and I have changed my mind about it. As long as people in the theater are spaced out to social distance, then I'm fine with folks not wearing masks (just like in a restaurant). Gotta eat popcorn!

The virus can float through the air for up to three hours. You think by wearing a mask it is not going to get you. Think again. It can come through your eyes and will attach itself to your skin. Once you are out of the movies you take your mask off and you automatically touch your face. HELLO, it got you. Think again before you go to the theater or any other place. It is coming to get you....
