Anyone Here Still Refusing To Wear A Mask?

Most people don’t wear masks here but do follow social distancing. In the bigger stores like Costco it’s strongly suggested customers wear a mask but they can’t force anyone too. Still about 98% of people where them while there.

Occasionally you see a person walking along the street with one on but not many
 

Last week at Wal Mart the majority of shoppers in the store did not wear a mask. This week more than half the shoppers were wearing a mask. Depends upon the number of people shopping and our Covid cases are going up again so there's that too. Last week I didn't wear a mask. This week I did because the store was crowded.
 
In the small town where I live no one wears a mask. We just returned from a 4 day trip to a resort in the western part of my province & absolutely no one wore a mask except 3 kids working in an ice cream parlor. By the way, I have never wore a mask once & I'm as "healthy as a horse". Went to my eye doctor yesterday. The doctor, the receiptions & all the clients wore masks. I DID NOT! No one challenged me. We have Happy Hour here & no one wears any masks & they do not social distance. It seems that the internet websites & the newspapers are constantly encouraging this lifestyle but "country folks" can't be fooled. It's basically a city slicker thing.
 
The wearing of masks around here is very rare. Went to the store Sunday, while waiting for my groceries , I saw one patron wearing one into the store. The employees had them on, but most were down around their chin ..... so?
 
I couldn't read Sunny's article, because I'm not subscribing to WashPo. But I find it hard to believe that mask wearing or not wearing runs along political lines. Dave and I wear masks. We also watch Fox News so apparently we are free thinkers. LOL! Seems like a prudent thing to do. If I had to make a generalization, and that's all it is, nothing scientific, I see more masks in our somewhat high end grocery store than I do in Walmart. What does that mean? No idea. As of July 3, our city has made wearing masks into businesses mandatory. Well, we'll see. Could be difficult to enforce. Honestly, I think the biggest problems come when large crowds gather, especially in closed spaces. We need a freakin' vaccine!!

I think Packerjohn in post #7 proved your point. He's Canadian so I doubt is impacted by the American politics of mask wearing if that's even a thing.

We do indeed ! ......

What about an older person, [thinking of a friend] that actually has severe difficulty breathing with one on ? He says he has tried three [I think] different types, none of them seem to do the trick. So he is wearing his 'down' , and if approached by someone about it .... he just pulls it up.
 
I always wear a mask when required to. I do see people without them, and it is sad. I notice lately I am seeing more people with no masks. I always carry a couple in my purse to wear.
I did almost walk into a store without one, but caught myself and stopped in the lobby and put it on.
 
In my area of the city (Toronto, Canada), the majority of people wear masks. We notice when we go for drives into smaller communities and towns, we see very few masks.
 
I'm waiting until after this dies down and then I'll be curious to see how many cases of tracheitis there will be due to a bacterial infection . It can't be good to block all bacteria from leaving your throat area and swallowing it back down your trachea.
Another problem with wearing a mask I see is shallow breathing.
When your breath is consistently shallow, stagnant air, residue, and pollutants can accumulate in the lungs, which can lead to low energy, contracted breathing, and toxic buildup. Deep breathing, on the other hand, gives our bodies nourishment and energy. Deep breathing not only supports healthier lungs, it ensures that oxygen moves through the blood and all cells, detoxifying, energizing, nourishing along the way.
 
The law, or ordinance, or what ever you call it, that my city passed, has some "outs." People who have trouble breathing in a mask are exempted. So tell me how they're going to determine that?

Carol, like you, I also wear a mask and watch Fox News. Nice to meet another free thinker --LOL! Even though the medical experts told us in the beginning of this pandemic that wearing masks wouldn't help, I thought that didn't make a whole lot of sense. I've been wearing masks since the beginning and made several to send to family. This whole silly thing about wearing masks according to your news source preference or political preference seems like nothing more than excitement created by the media to gain or appease an audience.
 
Wearing a mask, and avoiding close contact with others, are about the Only things we can do, for now, to help minimize the chances of spreading this virus. Anyone who thinks this virus is a hoax, or refuses to follow these simple rules is only showing themselves to be Part of the Problem.

There are already areas that are experiencing a 2nd major spike in this virus, and we could easily see a return to some of the March/April shutdowns, as a result. When I see the way some people are behaving, the only thing I can think is "people are their own worst enemy".

I, for one am so tired of the people who are against wearing a mask. I give up in trying to understand them! I have a friend on Facebook that has given me irritable bowel syndrome due to her arguing about the 'mask'. She is a piece of art. :mad::sneaky:🥴o_O

I for one am so tired of people who are fervently for wearing a mask. I give up trying to understand those that aren't free thinking enough to research the issue. Not take every word that any agenda driven pundit or click bait news (?) site might have to add to the confusion. I have no irritable bowel syndrome and sleep well at night. :) ;)
