Actually, in most cases the lock down made it worse. Do a little reading and you will see that. We were fools to shut down our economy over this. China sure is loving it though.

There have been several deaths due to wearing masks, still all for it?

You lost me. Suicides are way up from the lockdowns and people losing their businesses and jobs, the economy was smashed. Here in Alberta the Chinese have bought up a bunch more of stocks and farms etc at fire sale prices. Wake up.

Amen. I’ve heard this also from multiple sources.

What does any of that have to do with voluntary mask-wearing? I was among the first here warning about the economic impacts & I'm no fan of Chinese imperialism. Mask-wearing (in offices, stores, etc.) is a simple thing people can do to ensure that the economy opens and stays open. Oh, and it would likely save lives too.

Wrong on all counts.

* The virus mostly spreads in droplets -- each considerably larger than 0.3 microns.

* The cloth masks, for 'civilian' use, are effective in reducing the spread of the virus to other people.

* If you haven't been tested, you could be a carrier. You should also assume that other people could be carriers. Around 1/3 of those infected show no symptoms.

Do you cover your mouth every time you speak? Thanks to plosive consonants, even speaking spreads the virus.

Why do you object so strongly to my asking people to take simple precautions to help protect other people’s lives?

Are you saying you have a right to drive drunk?

You’re using opinions, not facts. You can wear one if you wish. This virus is not a big threat and is easily treated. Also, if you’re keeping vitamin D and C levels up, it’s most likely to bounce off. I’m not living in fear.

Love the clip in #109.

Notice that YouTube turned the comments off?

Probably too many people talking about that Seinfeld clip and today's mask cult.

Oh my. Have you stopped molesting children?

You keep beating this nonsensical drum again and again, thinking you are John Bonham.

So let me ask you, if you have ears, and an elephant has ears, it must mean you are an elephant, right?

Perhaps you are just completely deluded, or perhaps you are in league with those who propagate the Cult of the Mask because they know that this tangible symbol of conformism and oppression fuels the 'lock down' tyranny, the continued ruin of our economy, and the justification of the fascism of Democrat governors and mayors.

Moreover, you obviously haven't read some of the links here, which refute your arguments about mask.

Live Science just published another article disputing the mask's supposed "benefits."

"To me, it's not harmful to wear these masks, but it doesn't look from this study like there is a whole lot of benefit," Jones said. The sample size for seasonal coronavirus was small, she said, and there was a large amount of non-mask-related variation in how much virus people emitted, particularly given that the majority of samples without masks didn't have detectable coronavirus......There's been enough research done to be able to confidently say that masks wouldn't be able to stop the spread of infection, that they would only have a small effect on transmission," Cowling said. "We shouldn't be relying on masks to help us go back to normal."

Here is why the globalists and fascists want us to keep wearing the mask:

- Enforced slavery of compliance to justify their shredding of our rights

- To continue to ruin the economy

- To justify "mail in voting" in order to steal the U.S. fall elections

- To spread tyranny and slavery worldwide

- To offer a "solution" in the form of Bill Gate's ID2020 or its variant, which is hellish in nature

The problem with the masks is that there is no common sense regarding the wearing dictate. To insist that people wear them outside with nobody around is ludicrous and highlights an ulterior motive.

We order on line and pick up our groceries and stuff from our local Walmart. It is in a good section of our city.

The side we where pick up our ordered groceries is basically clear of debris and we don’t see masks, gloves and other similar trash.

I had noticed that a couple of trash pickers would often walk by with loaded trash containers and empty them into a special locked dumpster. Those guys wore masks, gloves and the throw away butcher hats. They would throw their newly collected trash into that dumpster. Then, they would take off their masks, gloves and butcher hats, throw them into the dumpster, close it and lock it.

Then, they used hand sanitizer before putting new masks, gloves and put their new butcher hat on and then headed back out to the main parking lot with their empty trash container to repeat their task of picking up masks, hats and gloves off the parking lot pavement.

I asked the young woman, who brought out our groceries, what the deal was.

She said that as the regular customers came out the main front exit, they often threw their masks away and gloves if they still had them on, into full trash containers or on the sidewalk in front of the store.

Many waited until they got to their vehicle to take off and then just drop their used masks (free from Walmart) and gloves and left that crud on the paved areas of the parking lot.

She said all types of customers did that mask/glove disposal routine from those driving rust buckets to new expensive SUV’s.

BOL! Coming soon from FR's super intelligent Karens Brown Shirted ID experts!

I heard rumors that FR's Karen's will recommend wearing both a blindfold and a N95 mask while driving, walking in our neighborhoods.

Also, we should wear a new blindfold and N95 mask, when we come home and then new ones to bed.

Finally, we should get our nourishment/fluids via IV's. It is just too dangerous to remove our masks to eat or drink fluids in our own homes or outside in the real world.

Lock downs, if uncontrolled, make everything worse. But, in a short term scenario quarantining will slow the spread of a virus or disease. Lefty’s have just used this as a power trip to the detriment of our country. As they debase everything they touch.

Has Trump been asked about it? I don’t think he’d be for it. I think he’d say “F that noise”!
