    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.

    @Jolly Isn't that the point? We should all just suck it up and wear one for the sake of each other.

      That's exactly what I just said.

      Please love yourself.

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

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

                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.

                            @Mik there’s almost always a group of normalish looking conspiracy theorists holding up signs, and protesting in front of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation building.

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

                              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.

                                          Anybody performed a study on what is growing on these masks y'all keep putting on your face?

                                          Yea... didn't think so.
