No, but careful to social distance. I went to Lowe's yesterday and would guess 70% were wearing masks.

I have one I was given, but no.

Things also never got too bad where I live though.

Meh, I have a hundred or so in my glove box that the gf put there.

I have yet to wear one.

Nor do we at work.

And no cashier has been wearing one either at any grocery stores.

No, but the only places I've been is to pick up food from restaurants. I have been running about 3 miles/day around the neighborhood, but it's pretty easy to avoid the few people I come across.

Yes, I have a contract to work in schools as soon as they open them up. Can't go in the schools if you test positive. Why would I risk that to look cool?
Gloves go in the trash on the way out of the door or after I have loaded my purchases in the back of my truck.

Yes but only because I have close contact with a confirmed covid-19 case for the last few days. Even though I was wearing my N-95 and PPE at work while dealing with the patient there is still a very small chance of me being a carrier. I save my N-95 for work and I like enjoy any reason to wear this bad boy outside of LSU territory.

Serious question for those that do west masks. Do you do the same during flu season? Plan to start?

Just curious since this thing is nothing more than a mild flu.


If flu shots didn’t exist, sure.

I haven’t found a mask that can accommodate this big Jew honker I’ve got.

Those over 60 should, especially in public places (grocery stores, discount/warehouse store). Those younger than 60 with underlying conditions should also wear something in public. Gloves are useless if not used properly.

Using common sense when your're out, social distancing, and keeping your hands clean are the most important things for everybody, regardless of age.

That actually might be a good idea for people in cities that use public transportation. The flu and the common cold causes a lot of hospitalizations and deaths.

This thing is not just a mild flu. It is much more complicated to manage when people get sick and have to be hospitalized. The mask is not for your protection. It is to protect others. Plus the sooner we get more we get people to wearing masks in public the sooner that we get to open stuff back up. STOP BEING A SELFISH ARSEHOLE, WEAR THE MASK SO WE CAN GET BACK TO NORMAL BEFORE FOOTBALL SEASON!

Ive seen people look at me wearing a mask and laugh to themselves. I laugh that they don't get it.
It's not for me it's too protect you from me.

Simple as that.

These masks are to protect others, not you so why would age matter?

And if COVID-19 got on you mask, it’s also all over your clothes. Do you strip at the door when you get home, How do you sterilize your clothes? And what about the spread in your vehicle after you left the store in those clothes?

The mask wearing seemed pretty damn ineffective in china, btw.

Is COVID-19 "filling the hospitals"?
