By telling people that wearing a mask won't protect them, but will only protect others from them, they made a critical error (assuming they want everyone to wear masks).

Because:

1) People aren't going to wear uncomfortable masks if it won't help them stay healthy
2) Most people would have no idea if they were currently infected
3) Many people don't care that it will help others stay healthy, because they are selfish.

All of the "I ain't wearing no mask, this is Merica!" posts on the O-T prove that I am correct.

If they wanted us to wear masks, they should have told it us it was to stop us from catching it. Buncha idiots we in charge.

I'm not wearing a mask in this case, either.

If the masks were that important, I would have been asked by our government overlords to wear one for the last 6-10 weeks.

Underwear and jeans cant stop a wet fart but a piece of cloth will stop Coronavirus?

I think they are a substitute for social distancing. So, if we pull back on one counter-measure, here is another to take the place.

I've been wearing one for a while whenever I go to grocery, etc. I don't wear it at home, car, etc.

The only reason they're telling us to wear masks this late in the game is they want to see how far they can go in having people follow the government like sheep.

It didn’t help when the president told the country he wasn’t wearing one. He could have kept that to himself.

I’m pretty sure underwear and jeans stop your wet fart from shitting all over a chair. Not a good analogy

Didn’t they screw up when they said “don’t wear masks, they help with nothing” 4 weeks ago?

I’d prefer the government not lie to manipulate weak minded fools. Just be truthful about what the masks can do, and let people decide for themselves.

What purpose does the mask serve?

I still wouldn't wear one even if it was for my protection. I'm of the realization that most will catch it anyway.

Ever since this shite started, I feel like I've been living in an alternate universe.

I just want to see threads about tits like the old days.

They're a substitute for we can't admit we overreacted. Because if they admit they overreacted, then they have admitted they were wrong. And they can't admit they were wrong because it undermines their ability to influence in the future.

Hmm. Is it possible we know more today than we did 4 weeks ago? Or that this is a substitute for social distancing? We didn't need a mask when we were told not to go anywhere, but if we are going to go somewhere, then maybe we should use one?
