Your Mask Is Making You Meaner, Dumber, More Afraid & Less Safe

“breathing out and fogging your glasses, isn’t going to be pushing the virus into your eyes.”

I wasn’t worried about the virus. I don’t care about the virus. In fact, the WuFlu never crossed my mind. (I couldn’t live being scared 24/7 — at least I wouldn’t WANT to live being scared 24/7.) It was just plain gross having your exhaled breath going into my eyes.

You wear a mask shopping for groceries? I guess if you’re in one of the vulnerable categories, it’s smart to do that.

How about us folks that don’t wear masks. Doesn’t anybody care about our feelings? We get bad looks. We alternately feel down because we don’t go with the crowd. Then we feel guilty that somebody might get sick, including us. Then sanity returns and we tell ourselves this is all nuts, shove your mask, and we feel great!

You wear your seatbelt, don't ya? And that's just for your own protection. By wearing a mask in public with this virus, you're not only protecting yourself, you're protecting those who you may give the disease to, if you have it.

Something those with a communicable disease have been doing for ages (wearing a mask while out in public). The idiot factor of this blogger, and some flubros is going off the scale. But keep those CCP agents smiling, and more fools here needless dying. Somewhere in the Constitution there must be a right not to have to wear a mask in public.

I wonder what the Brit's thought about having to keep their windows covered at night during the blitz. My lord, the rights they had to relinquish just for a bit of safety! If only the Germans has thought to fill the minds of British idiots with that bit of senseless righteousness. The British might be speaking German today.

His website has a nice layout, but his article reeks of stupidity and immaturity.

On Brietbart Radio (Not exactly left wing), they said that studies have shown that if both parties are wearing masks then the chance of infection is cut by 90%. If you disagree with those numbers take it up with them.

Have public health officials reacted poorly to his pandemic. Sure, and the economy is by far the bigger problems now and 95% of the country needs to open for business.

But to pretend that this virus is a hoax is really delusional.

I wouldn’t doubt the big stores get together and will try to make wearing a mask permanent

“It’s an odd feeling to be cheering for criminals to commit crimes to save us from crimes of the state.”

Interesting. And true.

“Bunch of Bullship...I wear a mask because I have few of the check marks. I see others not wearing a mask...I think nothing of it.”

Agreed. I have seen no instances of non-mask wearers being treated differently from mask wearers. However, I have seen infantile comments on FR by some who plan to “mock” those wearing a mask. As though mocking an 80 year old great-grandmother trying to protect herself when she has to go grocery shopping makes them big men.

I wore a mask ONCE - horrible. I was constantly having to adjust it several times, constantly push my glasses up because they were fogging up, etc. That was the last time. Some who wear masks glare at those who don’t - I respect their 6 ft. social distancing & ignore the ‘looks’ (I’ve gotten a couple, mostly not), I make SURE I do not touch my own face & when I get to the car, I wash my hands down (plus anything else I’ve touched) with straight alcohol ... a squirt of aloe gel in 8 oz keeps it from tearing my hands up until I can get home & wash them thoroughly (I wash my face as well).

The other thing I noticed the other day .... it appears many people are carrying A (as in “1”) mask in their car & putting it on wherever they stop. I was specifically checking out masks and many of them are noticeably DIRTY & worn (especially noticeable with white/light blue ones - not meant to be re-used over & over). That is more dangerous than no mask. Also, as one MD noted .... those that carry a bandana or T-shirt to wrap around their face often use the same one ... they just switch to a “clean” surface ... if the dirty surface (from their own coughs, etc) ends up on the outside, the next time they cough/sneeze they blow the ‘germs’ off the outside of the mask & into the air or on to the closest object.

Bottom line, I am not wearing a mask - keep my hands scrupulously clean, do not touch my face. I am not afraid. If others choose to war a mask, fine with me. If “Wreck-It Ralph” (our weasel DemonRat excuse for a Governor) mandates wearing masks, it will be a Trump 2020 mask.

Today it is not illegal anymore to spread aids without notifying your sex partners before the act.

So all of this “we are saving lives in protecting each other” is bullStalin

They don’t treat other diseases this way they go out of their way to not treat other diseases this way

It smarter if every one wears a mask. It’ll reduce the number of new cases more than if just the vulnerable wear masks, and that will give people confidence to shop. It will help the economy restart.

Clerk at the grocery store yesterday was angry because she had to wear a mask while customers like my wife and I could shop without one.

I’ll have to find it when I get home, but a local news station did an article about a meme that Has been circulated by the people who say we must wear masks, any masks, and how effective they are.

It basically said that If two people are wearing masks, even homemade ones out of a T-shirt, it will reduce the chance you’ll get the coronavirus to like 5%. They went out and asked some experts and said that may be correct if they are all wearing properly fitted and used N 95’s but they have no idea what the actual percent Is with the homemade masks we see people wear.

Actually you touch the cloth, and it holds it there for you where you can breathe it in because cloth does not prevent viruses from being breathed in.

In my community we are told to not wear the N 95 masks. That is the CDC’s own advice. So it is not about your health.

“Something those with a communicable disease have been doing for ages (wearing a mask while out in public).”

I’m over 70, and can count on the fingers of one hand the times I’ve ever seen a person IN AMERICA walking around wearing a mask. I guess some FReepers won’t be happy until all Americans looks like dead-eyed drones.
