When asking to wear a mask becomes ordering you to wear a mask or face criminal penalties.

Mask and gloves and washing your hands every 30 minutes are good things to do but will not prevent you from catching Covid -19.

Exactly. The subtext to the attitude toward it is that somehow wearing a mask is capitulation to "The Democrats". Total retardation.

I wear a mask at work every day. Sorry but I’m not wearing one on my off day. Waste of resources and its 90 degrees outside

No, total retardation is being arrested or fined for not wearing a mask for a virus that isn't affecting 99% of the population.

I'm not the one who sees zero issue with not wearing a mask being a criminal act.

Although you're not a lunatic I guess. Just a statist thug.

Dude, nobody is going to arrest you if you don't make a scene about it.

And I have more of a chance of some random naked guy not wearing pants peeing on me than I do of being affected by Covid.

Your meme is fricking stupid.

Unless you're in an area with a shitload of people, there's no need to wear a mask outside. If you're in a closed building(i.e. grocery store) with other people close by, that's another story.

Not sure why the outcry of wearing a mask for a short period of time when around others. It's all about preventing the spread from asymptomatic people, even with a relatively cheap cloth mask. Will it stop 100% of what comes out? No, but it cuts down on that significantly and will help stop the spread from someone that has no idea if they have it or not.

Finally, this is all temporary. It may last longer than we want it to and people may feel inconvenienced by it, but it's temporary and masks won't be a part of everyday life forever.

To some degree, but it isn't a major game changer.

Of course it's a game changer. I'm not wearing one unless I get on a plane or train or something similar. However, masks definitely radically reduce the reproduction factor of a virus.

You seem angry that you're demonstrably wrong about this.

I'm demonstrably wrong about what?
