Anti Maskers Losing Their Minds

[DaveA]

It's also amusing to watch how some people will decide who they trust, depending on their personal opinion of someone or how much they like or admire them - as if the virus will agree or disagree.

I can't speak to individuals but I do tend to trust health professionals (as a group) rather than political hacks (also as a group) . Others may feel different and that's their prerogative.

State of Calif is being pretty strict right now. All public buildings require masks. Some liquor/convenience stores and smoke shops weren't insisting on masks until about a month ago. Now they've posted "No mask no service" signs. The convenience store on my block has a sign in their window that says "A mask never killed anyone".

That is how it has been here for a few months, no mask, no entrance, no service.

Seeing as NONE of us really know what is best for this disease we really know anything about. Does it kill? Yes, obviously it does. Are the numbers to be believed? Even if you eliminated half of the deaths as fake numbers, still many many have died. Is a mask going to stop it? Who knows for sure...but it surely can’t hurt. Now if they were asking us to dress up in spaceman suits before stepping out our doors, or to get into stores and restaurants, then people might have a squawk. I feel sorry for those who have to wear them for 8 hr+shifts. I was one of them and that IS a PITA! Bur for the little time you have to wear them to shop...just get over it already and wear the darn thing. If you need to pull it down for a few seconds to get some air, while you are shopping, I doubt that would make a difference. I guess it is indeed true that you can’t fix stupid.

All these lockdowns and mask rules and laws, plus quarantine restrictions are causing some people to go looney tunes. I wore my mask religiously and followed the guidelines and still got the Virus. Spent days in the hospital, was on a ventilator, drugs, no appetite, no smell or taste, sinus infection and other issues and now I’m on a nebulizer.

I just had a friend’s wife who died. She started out with the Virus, then went into the hospital, wasn’t doing well and next had double pneumonia, which ended it for her. It all doesn’t seem fair.

It does seem very random as to who has severe effects. All the more reason to be careful, imo. And as you've learned even being careful may not help.
