To Mask or Not To Mask?

They do work, and businesses do not have to be closed. I don't understand the point that meme is trying to make.
Please love yourself.

Where you been the last 3 months?

Well if you want to get into this, businesses "have to be closed" because there are enough people out there who think like you do. If everybody wore 'em, there'd be very little risk.
As to work/not work, reality is a little more nuanced than an internet meme you found on Facebook. They're very effective in preventing an infected person from infecting another. And many, many people are completely asymptomatic, so that's very important. Only certain masks effectively prevent you from getting infected from someone else.

Is wearing a mask to go to the store really that much of a hardship?
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

It's not. But, it has become a rally cry for politics.

There are plenty of people enduring real issues, and this is what we're whining about?
Please excuse me while I don't give a fuck.

@Doctor-Phibes I agree with you. Sorry if I made it sound otherwise.

Opposing masks is such an asinine thing to oppose if you're in favor of opening up the country fast.
"Hey guys - let's keep our distance and wear masks and get back out there"
But, no - there's no good grievance in that message. I am genuinely a little surprise how stark the political lines have been drawn on this.

@Copper My goal, is to get past this particular outbreak until such time as proven, effective treatment, that prevents long-term health consequences from this virus, and/or vaccine is available.
I choose to wear a mask. A nice replaceable filter pocket homemade mask that my daughter so lovingly crafted for me. She made one for everyone in our family as well as her friends.
I live in a area not far from Chicago and my particular county has one the fastest growing number of cases in our state.
I will wear one for as long as I want to wear one.

No, I realised you did. I wasn't being grumpy at you

It's not the mask
It's the jerks telling people what to do
There are a lot of people who don't like being bossed around by jerks who they know are unable to tell the truth
If Mr. Trump insisted that everyone must wear a mask, cnn would condemn masks, no question

It's pretty funny how many people that think that being told to wear a mask is a sign of tyranny think that bringing back the draft would be a great idea.

People, get your head out of your ass. The mask (unless you're wearing a N95) is not good protection for you getting the virus. The mask is to prevent you from giving it to others.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.
