It's just a mask

If there was nothing to hide they would want to get all that info out to the public immediately so there would be no doubts that it's a safe and does exactly as it's suppose to do.

And then people would be getting vaccinated in higher numbers.

Of course you're right so they have something negative to hide and we know this.

Maybe it's just me, but...I cannot understand why on earth people refuse to wear masks. The mask isn't to protect the wearer. The mask is to protect others. You have the "right" to infect someone else? Sorry. Your "right" to go maskless ends at my right to stay healthy. You do not have the right to make me sick.

People who refuse to wear masks are selfish and inconsiderate.

Those people are the same ones who refuse to be vaccinated. You want to get sick? Fine. Get sick. Join all those who dissed masks and the vaccine and got Covid, got very ill, died. There are news stories about them every day.

People who refuse to get the vaccine are just plain stupid.

The bolded and italicized comments are my sweeping generalizations for the day.

Some people, like me, hate wearing masks. I wear glasses and I have hearing aids. When I take that stupid mask off one of my hearing aids likes to fall on the ground. Anyway, we breath in nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%) which is good. Breathing out pushes out the same elements with some water droplets. I don't relish breathing in the same air again. Besides that if you have hearing aids it gets pretty frustrating trying to figure out what some people are saying "mumbling" behind their masks. I can't read lips when there are no visible lips to read. No, wearing a masks is not WONDERFUL for me. Maybe the 20 year old like it; I don't know!
 
I doubt that anyone likes wearing a mask, Packerjohn. They are a nuisance, but the best we can do at the moment. Since I'm fully vaccinated, I'd probably catch, at most, a mild case of this disease. But who wants even that?

And if I happen to be carrying the virus, without any symptoms, I still wouldn't want to give the disease to anybody else.
 
What gets me, I have a couple of masks in my vehicle, in my coat pocket & other places that I can grab in a hurry. I went into the pharmacy yesterday & I put on one of the masks from the vehicle. The Pharmacist ask me where did you get that mask? I told her it was one I had in my car for a while. She said look at all that dirt.

She said you know how dirty that mask is just laying around in a car or on a table in the house? I said no I never gave it a thought. She said you should put on a NEW mask every time you put one on. She said not to use one of the cloth masks but one of the blue surgical masks. She said the cloth ones do not stop anything from getting in.

She wanted to "sell" me a box of 25 masks so I will use a new one every time. When she rang it up the cost of 25 masks was $50.00 I told her to take those off & I'll continue to use my old ones till I got to a Dr's office where they give you a new one for free.

After that, I got to look at how many people were wearing the homemade cloth masks & some of the K95 was so dirty it looked like it was in a coal mine. Now I'm wondering how good the masks really are?

I have the regular paper blue & yellow masks. I spray each one with alcohol on both sides & hang it up to dry after each use. I keep 5 in my car in the glove box. They don't get very dirty since I only wear a mask where required - when shopping indoors.
No reason to replace every disposable mask after wearing it once.

I know I have to take my mask down a lot for the reason you explained above. My Asthma Dr. said you can't wear a mask constantly. As your breathe in some of your exhaled air & that will cause you to pass out. Which I have almost done in restaurants & other places. People give me hell because I take it off, then I explain if I don't you will be calling the ambulance & YOU will have to pay the bill as I just explained why I have to take it off.
 
Interesting development in New York's new mask mandate. Some counties are choosing not to enforce it. That includes my own county..Genesee. So, the manager of my building has told us it is up to each individual tenant if they want to wear masks in the common areas of the building, But I went to the grocery store yesterday and a sign said masks must be worn. So, I will be keeping a couple in my car, and in my purse. Just to make sure I have them on hand.
I do not object to the mandate, but am kind of glad we can go mask free in my building
 
You guys can argue till hell freezes over but it's not gonna make Covid disappear. It's not gonna stop Covid from taking lives. It's not gonna get you back the freedom you want. Instead of sitting here bitching about it maybe you should consider doing what they asked us to do in the first place. But you're sooooooooo worried about conspiracies and your precious rights. I agree with what GeorgiaXplant said. You don't have the right to make me sick just because you're making poor choices out of the fear you claim we are living in. My mother died from this because she wasn't able to take the vaccine. Someone, somewhere, where my parents had to go, had Covid. Whether they masked or not doesn't matter to me. What matters is the fact that they had it and went out with it and spread it to my parents and because of my mothers health issues she was unable to survive it. It was probably someone who had their mask under their nose and refused to get the vaccine. Thanks to that person she is gone forever. Are you really ok with taking a chance of being responsible for the death of another person because you're afraid of a shot? And because you can't be bothered to wear a little mask because it's uncomfortable? If you're ok with murdering someone else then hey have at it. Given enough opportunity maybe it will come back to bite you in the ass and it will be you in that hospital bed with your lungs filling with fluid and death knocking at your door.

i see this all the time .....
some people are buying box after box of masks ........so some one is making money......
Every company that could got involved to get their logo on cloth ones .... People walking billboards with adverts for teams / companies / what ever. I remember Fauci with a mask for the Washington Nationals

I worked for a medical research company and once a mask is touched over and over they are basically useless. we had to do Medical exams on people to see it they were healthy enough to wear all day.

Look around store parking lots... sides of the road ..... etc all i see is discarded masks. NOW are those a BIO hazard / medical waste ?

i watched some overly zealous people with goggles masks and plastic gloves come out of a store wash each item with a clorox wipe and then discard wipes plastic gloves and masks in parking lot for store employees to pick up.
Remember front line hero that did not last long.....
I would get headaches after wearing for longer then 2 hours so as some showed me took a pin and poked holes in masks.
For those who really think it is about OTHERS they are living in a placebo world.

That's understandable. I have asthma and COPD and I have to get air every so often. But I have coworkers who run around all day with theirs down despite our company mandate. They just don't give a shit. At least you make the effort. Good for you!

"It was probably someone who had their mask under their nose and refused to get the vaccine."
Thank you for clearly illustrating what the problem is. You are desperately looking for someone to blame because anger is easier to deal with than grief. And you are using that misdirected anger to wish ill on others to try to justify it.
You are wrong on both counts.
 
I've known of vaccinated people who think they don't need to wear a mask, which is dangerous as those vaccinated people may very well be asymptomatic and spreading Covid.

So if someone dies who had had no known contact to someone with covid, it could very well be that the deceased person came in contact with a fully vaccinated asymptomatic person.

It's not always the unvaccinated who spread Covid. 😥

No!!! it is you and people like you who are living in a "placebo" world.
You comment on other people protecting their health?
Why? Does it make you feel guilty?

I have zero idea what your talking about ...
I am aware what placebos these masks are ...........and i am not pretending it is otherwise like so many are.

If they give people a false sense of security and they look around and see masks and think all is right in the world let them chase unicorns and butterflies all day

People forcing others to mask etc is NOT protecting their health.....

The Wuhan virology labs have been going since the 70's with their study of bats from a cave near there. They have studied and studied Sars Covid disease in over hundreds of variations for years. Americans and many countries have been involved. So, they know a whole lot about these virus's. I assume they know a whole lot more than they are allowed to say. Clearly governments let the information out to us a little bit at a time. You know it's like when you slowly let the air escape from a baloon it makes that terrible irritating even excruciating squeaking sound. So torturing and painful.

I'm still waiting to see if the reason they aren't telling us very much is motivated by greed, power, other ...? I guess they just like to feel they have the control over the masses. Clearly Nature is the bigger powe as SarsCov rolls out.

Actually, some people are more immune to diseases, even deadly ones, than others. This is how humanity has survived plagues and diseases for millennia without being wiped out. There weren't always masks or vaccines to treat everything.

Yes Florence Nightengale was one and so many others particularly preists and nuns who were immune were running the hospitals. They have found some people have a natural immunity to bat virus diseases. I guess maybe those kids played under certain trees maybe? Well, who knows really, however they got it good on them.

I hate having a cold. I wear a mask to most places (unless I'm outside) and haven't had a cold in 2 years. To me, that's worth having my glasses fog up. I don't consider this a loss of freedom but a decision to avoid illness.

If I were to go out I would wear one. My husband got some super masks with copper filters made by a professional, they completely seal around the face, so no air gets in and are washeable. He looks alittle like a WW1 bomber pilot. Only goes out to start the car once a month and take the trash out. He even wears it when he opens the door to pick up the groceries we have delivered after they have sat for 20 minutes. I haven't been outside for nearly two years.
