Anti Maskers Losing Their Minds

I disagree with wearing them , my 80 year old mother and my 85 year old stepfather disagree with them too. To be fair, I have been sick 2 times in my life, last time was 35 years ago, never take any shots or follow doctors directions, I suspect I will pay for that one day but the end is inevitable. I think it is my unhealthy life style that keeps me going, at least that's what my co workers tell me. 90% of them got very sick in November 2019 before COVID had a name. . (You guys may boot me off the board soon, I don't think like lots of folks do and I post what I think/see even if it makes folks mad)

Everyone should wear them because anyone can have the virus.
 
Masks are not mandatory yet in NSW but there is now some community transmission and we are advised to wear one where social distancing cannot be maintained. I carry some with me as well as disposable gloves and use both in the supermarket, mask only on public transport. Hand sanitiser too when necessary. At home it is just soap and water.
 
Masks are 2-way protection - keeps you from being exposed to others germs and also keeps you from spreading yours. Humans wear prophalactics on their other ends for protection and, from what I hear, they is more uncomfortable than a face covering. It is such a small thing to do to help society in general.

Personally from a standpoint of being one who has to wear them 8 hrs a day...it gets frustrating. By the end of the day there's been times I've ripped mine off in the van with a vengeance cuz I'm sick to death of them & not being able to breathe. So I get that part of it. It's the refusal to wear them that I think is literally idiotic.

Marci what kind of mask are you wearing? I find I can breathe better in the KN95 masks, so when I have to walk somewhere that's the kind I'll put on. But I don't have to wear a mask 8 hours a day so I don't know if it would make much of a difference in that case.

I have to wear two different kinds now because of my COPD & anxiety. I have a bandana mask for when I'm distancing. And then I have a mask with a filter & a respirator valve for when we are serving right next to each other. I do my best to limit myself to as little space time with others as possible. They also finally started making co-workers mask up on the serving line.

I always wondered if those masks with the valves are heavier or more cumbersome.

They're pretty thick. I have other fabric masks that aren't as thick. Even with the filters. The bandana ones make me nervous because they're so thin but because of my conditions I had no choice. I had to do something. I just wear those thinner ones when I can stay farther away from people. If they want to get closer to visit I will slide the other mask on & then they step away.

On one of those true crime shows awhile back, it was actually a thing- people all over the U.S. The 911 calls were absolutely hilarious!

When my two oldest grandchildren were small, my DIL was taking them to school then heading for work by bus. They were waiting for the bus and it was still dark out. Some guy came by in a clown mask and scared that poor girl half to death. It certainly wasn't funny to her nor me when she told me. Thank God it wasn't someone who was ready to go all "Criminal Minds" on them!

Not the point: Wear a mask so others don't get the virus from you.

What is the point then? If you wear a mask and stay 6 feet away from me and I'm not wearing one, just how likely are you to catch it? Especially if I don't have RONA?

LOL. Remember those silly banners they hang at hospital entrances to sell flu shots?
"If you don't get a flu shot, you're making others sick." Yeah....try to guilt non-thinking sheep into buying what they're selling.

LOL. That mask is about as effective as an unmodified one. Viruses are microscopic & go through typical non-medical material. And a virus needs any mucosa to enter, including the eyes. That's why at the beginning of Corona, the experts said masks are useless.
And logically, the majority are wearing masks, so why do they keep reporting "surges & spikes?"
