    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.

    I was only joking

      What is the goal? How are we going to measure it?

      Exactly how many lives have been saved by masks?

      Why would we ever go out without a mask? I mean forever and ever.

      Why not wear masks and end all communicable diseases and save everyone's life?

        @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.

                    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

                      Exactly... you got that right.

                      We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
                      Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

                        And the jerks requiring it don't heed it themselves. No mask. No social distancing. Just an Executive order telling EVERYBODY else to do it..

                          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.

                                      @Copper it would hide the nosebleed you'd get from a punch in the nose, amirite?

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        @Copper I think you are right! I doubt you would see many protesting people without a mask if they had one of these!!
