The conscious selection of words is interesting.

Are masks really creating “rage?”

You guys have your own level of drama and hysteria.

“Wearing a mask for hours makes me sick.”

Unless you are performing hip surgery on the street, no one expects you to wear a mask that long. And if you need help breathing after wearing a mask, you have other issues that should confine yourself to a sterile box.

You guys use words that are intentionally insulting and present anyone wearing a mask is a weak coward.

If you understand the use of propaganda, you can see what is going on. Don’t wear a mask. I really don’t care. But in my area you are not getting into a grocery store. So, if you don’t wear a mask...eventually you don’t eat. Good for everyone.

time to put the bottle down; guess you forgot about employees...I work at a library part time, which when it reopens would require four hours of mask wearing on the days that I work, which is why I’m not going back to work...

Yes people can be very insensitive here. But I think that you have misunderstood others here. What they probably meant is that many people wearing masks incorrectly or in inappropriate situations and believing they are protecting themselves or others is a weak MINDED coward. There is nothing funnier than seeing someone driving around alone in their own car wearing their dunce cap on their face instead of their head.

Do they believe they are protecting themselves from themself, or do they think they will be driving through a cloud of germs from a sick person who has traveled the road ahead of them? Do they realize that coronavirus particulate is ten times smaller than the particles found in cigarette smoke and that their dust mask literally gives them about as much protection against the coronavirus alone in their car as bars on a window would protect them from a mosquito?

Today it’s a mask to get in a store and tomorrow it’s a vaccine? A vaccine complete with a digital certificate?

Maybe in Vermont. In Wisconsin, I have shopped in 4 counties and none have mandated masking. I believe a few Menards (hardware) did in some areas, but they aren’t *essential*.

Besides, we prep, so we can go 3 weeks without shopping and longer for anything not perishable.

It is ridiculous when you read this weekend that perhaps the R0 is not as high as they thought; the fatalities cluster in predictable locations/demographics;some people may have natural degrees of immunity/it takes prolonged, close contact in an enclosed space to contract/there is little risk of fomite transmission. Transmission is predominately hand to mucus membrane. So, don’t let someone else pick your nose and your risk is low.

My favorite recent article discusses how there may never be a vaccine because (wait for it) there is a shortage of infected people to test.

I do find your attitude interesting and am glad I have no desire or need to visit Vermont.
