Whose facts? There are credible studies out there that find wearing a mask is no more effective that without one. The CDC just came out with a statement that it doesn't know if masks are really effective. A Danish study finds mask are not effective. Think about it. How many masks have you seen that provide a fully sealed barrier around your nose and mouth? Plus, at least with me, I'm touching my face more to continually adjust my mask.

Well let’s keep the rest of the cows and all the calves safely in the barn so the break-out stops or slows down.

I prefer that others NOT take a calculated risk....one which could affect me. I also prefer to help out others by wearing a mask to not infect THEM and wish others would do the same for me. I respect the life of others.

When you divide the number of infections in the US by the population of our country you just might “logically” conclude that a nation wide mask mandate is an over kill to eliminating the C-19 plague. Such a mandate would have far reaching collateral damage that would change our society for ever. Take some personal responsibility people and quarantine if you’re at risk and let the rest of us get on with life. God bless America.

But it's so easy to do to maybe protect that neighbor of mine or the elderly grocery clerk in the store or the overworked tired health care workers at the hospital. it's the least I can do. And it is Patriotic.
Totally agree. IF this had been said early on by the powers that be, I believe we would not be in this pickle!

Wear to protect self. Seriously I do not care if you do or don't wear a mask or social distance or wash your hands or stay home. I care what I do to protect me. Years ago a family member got in my car refused to put a seat belt on. My car my rules on or out. He got out. Next time he put it on. A store says mask choice is on or shop somewhere else. I will not fault you for your choice so leave me alone about mine. 45 years in health care... I mask to protect me. Explantions of its validity not needed. My body my choice.

Aaaahhh....but he didn’t do smart things to ‘fix’ these issues did he?

Because the 10% can still infect the rest of us and keep this pandemic going!

He’s a doctor, not a politician! In THIS instance, we should listen to him—not the president.

Thank you for respecting the lives of others (me, etc.). I respect your life and wear a mask FOR YOU so YOU don’t get it. Do you not respect others? Sad....

Don’t want to get the virus. If I did and survived, I’d be worried about the lifelong effects of this virus which the experts still DO NOT KNOW HOW THEY WILL AFFECT us! That’s is the scary part!

And the president’s ego? What rock have you been living under?
