To Mask or Not To Mask?

@xenon said in To Mask or Not To Mask?:
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.
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

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.

That's exactly what I just said.

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

@Copper it would hide the nosebleed you'd get from a punch in the nose, amirite?
I know some places where you could wear that.

Here’s a good accounting for what is behind WHOs guidance.
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/cdc-offer-conflicting-advice-masks-expert-tells-us/story?id=70958380
Short answer, most people in the world can’t get masks so that recommendation would make the WHO look bad in offering impractical advice. Guess what, they can’t shelter in place either but on the upside no one wants to visit them.

@jon-nyc I agree.
It bothers me that people think they are making some statement "against the man" if they dont wear a mask.
How stupid!!!!

There are still people who think the pandemic is nothing but a Barge-type plot to usher in the New World Order.
If it were they'd be smart enough not to collapse the world's healthiest economies to do it.

I don’t get out often, but when I do drive by - always there without fail.
True believers. Crazy

Last night, a local restaurant district was swamped. While the restaurants closed certain tables to try and accommodate the social distancing requirements, people at their tables would spread out a little and people were in each other’s spaces. On top of that, you had others that weren’t able to get a table so they ordered takeout and was taking it out into the park/square in the middle of the plaza. So they ordered the food and stood around in the restaurant waiting for 20-30 minutes... So even though the restaurant was technically seating only 50% capacity, they were over capacity with all the people standing around. And these people looked around and saw all the diners without masks and figured there was no point in them wearing one and took it off as well.
The outside was even worse... And this was happening at each of the 12 restaurants in the district...
My food wasn’t ready when I got there, so I paid the waitress an extra $20 to bring it to my car. No way I was staying in there.
