re: All the "no mask" people are full of crap

I'm a no mask person. Can't breathe in those things.

On the downside I had a little fever yesterday and woke up today and cant smell anything. No other symptoms though. Feel fine

I was at the grocery today and I'd say 90% of people were wearing masks

I'm a 10%er. And I go out every day to multiple stores.

Think about that for a minute

Im not saying it’ll make sense, but it will happen. And you’ll put on your mask like you’re told.

Nah.

I just won't patronize a business requiring masks. I mean it's their business, so they can require what they want, but there's not a place I need to go to bad enough to where I'll be forced to wear a mask. Thankfully very, very few businesses down here resort to such stupidity.

Interesting fact, I, as well as many others, just developed a medical condition that prevents us from wearing a mask

Still haven’t been anywhere in BR that’s required them

Costco is a no go for me right now because I’m too lazy to wait in the long arse check out lines

I’ll throw on a mask if I get desperate for some tri tip though

WF just started here. They were handing them out yesterday at the door.

Also my dentist required a mask while in the lobby this morning. I guess I was supposed to storm out and not go to the dentist?

Indeed.

I don’t know. I haven’t had to go to the dentist. Or doctor.

Don’t you live in Shreveport? They’ve seemed to be more draconian about this shite than BR

Can someone point me to why this is such a big deal?

---

- Unnecessary government intrusion into private businesses & their operations.
- Hypocrisy on display from the government regarding mask-wearing.
- Holding the wearing as a hostage item for reopening businesses vs. simply stressing their importance.
- Rise in their "importance" has not been in line with the spread of the virus.
- No scientific proof that the products used and the manner in which the masks are being worn is effective.
- Many healthcare professionals have argued that the manner in which the public is wearing them is less-effective and provides a false sense of security.


"The government" has largely been wrong every step of the way in this pandemic...but now I'm just supposed to trust them that a pair of Hanes underwear resewn into a mask is the solution? For now, I'll continue to go about my day, not cough into my hands, keep my 6' distance, etc.

If a private business wants to require me to wear one to enter, I'll make that decision on an as-needed basis.
