Washington Governor Jay Inslee faulted President Trump for failing to urge Americans to wear masks amid a surge in coronavirus infections in more than two dozen states, likening Mr. Trump's resistance to masks to Alabama governor and segregationist George Wallace's opposition to integration.
"Right now, we are in an urgent national mission, or should be, to mask up," Inslee, a Democrat, said on "Face the Nation." "And the fact is that Donald Trump is for masking up like George Wallace was for integration."
Inslee said universal masking is crucial to reopening states' economies, and added that "all of us should be on that bandwagon right now."

“You must wear a mask, because you might be sick”, sounds an awful lot like, “You might shoot someone, so you don’t need that gun.” If you are so worried about contracting any virus, then wear PPE, I don’t care. If you own a business and insist on people wearing masks, be my guest. I’ll take my business elsewhere, or do without. Trying to make people that you have no idea about whether they have a virus, or not, is not about health, it’s about control.
I’m not your research librarian. Go do some work.
No Fauci media fear mongering over ‘pride’ parade? Why? Is there something about the Wuhan virus they are not telling US?
And the fact is that Donald Trump is for masking up like George Wallace was for integration.”

Wallace was a Democrat. Or is Inslee too stupid to know that.
OTOH I provided data showing flu cases dropping. That doesn't mean masks had anything to do with the drop, There is a seasonal drop every year. But the drop is a fact.
Do you use that every thread? Taking away someone's 2nd amendment rights is not the same as mandating a mask. Not in the same ballpark.
Soak mask in Jack Daniels.
I’m seeing the ones with “exhaust valves” now which are doubly useless.
Why yes I do, because people need to be informed. The logic is exactly the same, even if topics are different.
The American people have been lied to in an almost criminal manner regarding masks and infection. I've got over a decade of practical experience dealing with N-95 masks, fit testing at a large LVL 1 trauma hospital, and actually wearing masks where bacterial and viral concerns are present and my health were at risk.
1) If you are not wearing and N-95 mask, or higher, you might as well be breathing through a chain link fence. Surgical masks, cloth masks, bandanas, gaiters and the likes can help defend against bacteria, but do nothing for virusii. This is because bacteria and larger by magnitudes than virusii, which will pass right through cloth masks and such
2) Even if you are wearing an N-95 mask, if you don't have sealed eye pro, or a full face mask, you are at just as much risk from contracting a virus, because virusii can enter through ANY mucus membrane, not just your mouth or nose.
3) If you have a mask and proper eye-pro, but are not wearing and changing gloves after every interaction, you are still at risk. All you are doing is transferring the virus around to different surfaces. Going out all day and sanitizing your hands when you get home is like shutting the barn door after the horses are gone. You've already contaminated your environment. 4) Even the government can't get it straight. Fauci, and the "everybody wear masks" crew, to almost a man, stand in front of the public saying "you must wear a mask", through masks that even the the OSHA website states will not work against virusii.
5) Numerous public health officials refused to condemn the protests. AS one of them said, "... public health risks of not protesting to demand an end to systemic racism greatly exceed the harms of the virus." That's not the comment that comes from a community that is truly worried about public health risks caused by the China virus. If it were about health, those 5 points would not be true. Sadly they are. Just like gun control isn't about guns, the push for virus control from certain sectors is not about stopping the spread of the China virus.
The idiot Washington governor can order his citizens around all he wants. What he wants from Trump is cover, so everything looks as if ordered by Trump, and Inslee is relieved of responsibility if it is not popular.
Better tell that to sweden, who never locked down their economy and recommends to its healthy asymptomatic citizens NOT to wear masks.
You do understand that most of the world has not made mask wearing compulsory.

I wonder why you and Governor Inslee seem to think it will?
And, right on time, one of the resident Karens arrives to spout leftist fearporn.
By the way, I’m pleased to know this manufacturer does not hide the truth!
