I do whatever it takes to keep myself and family safe. I wear a mask and wear poly gloves when I go to stores. I stay away from people especially people that don't wear masks. My wife is a doctor and we know what the fuck. I could care less about the idiots that are stupid, but they put my wife and other healthcare workers at risk because they have to take care of sick idiots. Believe me, if you get the virus you will whine like a little bitch and that's if you live. And if you live, you very likely will be living with some fucked up health for the rest of your life. So party on you Beavis and Buttheads and when somebody close to you dies, remember you did fuckall.

It would take too much time and too many resources and we as humans just don't do that for good and bad reasons. We live with risk and we go about our day as best we can, moving forward making things better a bit at a time. There are far more dangerous things to worry about out there than Corona. BTW, the lockdown is said to have increased tuberculosis in the world by 5 million cases over the next few years and 1.4 million deaths. That's just one adverse affect of the lockdown. 1.4 million deaths ... now you ask me about people who are so utterly stupid ... again, it's not that they are stupid, it's that this issue is now politicized and that's one more reason why (on top of my rationale above and belief they are generally not needed) I don't wear a mask. |
how did ya'lll lose your shit over TP, but skip the whole mask thing

Double layered cloth mask is about 60 % effective while exhaling and about 40% effective while inhaling. Now look at a viral load of a factor 100 in a person next to you who has a mask: His viral load while exhaling in your direction is reduced to 40. Now if you are wearing a mask you may inhale only 40% of the load from a factor 40 which is factor 16 of the initial load. So simple stated, if both are wearing a mask, the risk of transmission is reduced 5x or more. |
yes I use it the n95 very expensive but oh well
<----------- not this one |

But guess what, I have some Ebola parties tickets left. Right up your alley ...:1orglaugh |
I don't wear one inside or in my yard but I've wore one since day one in public. I also get groceries every 2 weeks instead of weekly to make fewer trips out. When I go to Walmart I see about 60% of people wearing masks. Last time I was at a gas station there were 12 people inside and I was the only one wearing a mask.
People are STUPID! :2 cents: |

YES there are dangerous things in the world like you listed but most of those things (all?) will not have an end point where there is a vaccine and treatment coming. Again, wearing a mask is not forever. LOL |
I can only say that we had mandatory masks since March - on July 1st it will end.
Infection numbers are almost zero, per capita numbers look pretty good in comparison to other countries all businesses, restaurants, bars etc will be back to normal on July 1st too meanwhile countries who did no lockdown, no masks or where people simply do not follow those rules still report growing infection numbers I rest in my case |

The virus itself is microscopic. However, the virus is carried in the air by water droplets - from when we breathe out, cough, or sneeze. The masks prevent the water droplets from entering your mouth and nose when you breathe. It it 100% effective? Dunno. But it's better than nothing. Vegas is opening up, and they got slammed with new cases. Now the casinos are making everyone wear masks. |
It's pretty straight forward. If the experts are all correct and wearing a mask helps reduce the spread of the virus and will help us reopen the country with better success, then wearing one is helping save lives and helping the country recover.
If the experts are all 100% wrong and the mask does nothing, all you are out is wearing a piece of cloth on your face for a few minutes while you are in a store or public place. It is literally the least a person can do to help the country (and world) recover. The fact that some people are passionately against it just blows my mind. |

What's more, in those "red" States the Governors are STILL saying "everything is fine" and not making mask-wearing mandatory while their Covid-19 numbers keep going up daily. It's madness. |

I'm not political. I don't like Cuomo, I can't stand Trump and Bill DiBlasio is persona non grata at any of my pizzerias. I don't wear a mask outside, ever. I wear one indoors when mandated. I specifically shop at places where masks are not mandated. Why? It's time for a reset. The world is way over-populated anyway. Let the chips fall where they may and whoever moves on, moves on. And if you don't make it, it was your time to go. For me, it's that simple... |

Does pulling your tee shirt over you mouth and nose qualify as a mask? I know cloth masks made out of tee shirts are okay even though they don't provide much protection. But just pulling the shirt up over your face, is that acceptable?
I seem to recall a video one someone getting kicked off of a bus because he only used his shirt over his face and the guy kicking off everyone had no mask on. |

yeah, pretty much that. |
Used them indoors in supermarket when mandatory. Just went and didn't use them. Only when you buy liquour and gasoline you must keep it up.
But i don't go out that much here in India, it is rainy season and almost everything closed now at the beach. It is quiet here on the streets in low season. On the streets outside the virus hardly spread and no mask needed. You saw that with crowded beaches and BLM protests. The people that are waiting for a safe vaccin can wait a longtime. I make sure i won't get one shot. I try to bribe a doctor if i need a covid vaccin passport. I don't trust the pharmacy and the governments with that. |

Again, you wear a mask to protect yourself but especially to protect OTHERS. To not do so and let there be a 'reset' is frankly absurd and anti-social. It's the same attitude dictators and mass murderers and genocidal maniacs have shown throughout history. Let the chips (droplets) fall where they may? Dude stay the FUCK away from me if we ever meet on the street. |
This graph is all you need - if you WANT to understand it.

Don't those 1.5 million people count? Why shouldn't we do everything possible to eradicate TB, whatever the cost? If you honestly feel my thinking is "disgusting" and I'm thinking like a dictator, etc. all good. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not... |
