Wearing a mask in an area where sick are sharing a space seems like a good idea in general. Regardless of covid. crazy I know


Sure if they actually worked. But they don't.

there’s one place i don’t mind wearing a mask for a little while it’s in a doctors office waiting room with several wheezing kids running around while the mama holds an extremely important speakerphone conversation



Since masks don't work it's just theater for your weak mind.

Also, nobody wore those in offices before Covid.


Not germane to the debate point.

As I said, if you feel the need to protect someone else if you're sick then wear it but what does a standard/cloth mask protect YOU from?



Surgical / cloth masks protect against pollens, droplets, and other larger aerosols. Covid was too small for any cloth mask to contain.

I haven't been to a doctor's office in nearly 2 years. I have been inside a couple ERs and dentist offices recently. No masks required.

Seems smart to wear a mask in a waiting room regardless of covid. People in their have all sorts of viruses.

I am in and out of clinics all the time for work...some do and some don't. I'd say right now that almost every Hematology / Oncology office I go to has that requirement, alot of OBGYNs, come cardiologists and a couple p=in primary care. I just chose to not go into those clinics.

Last time I went the overweight receptionist told me I had to wear a mask... then my Dr. told I could take it off and that it wasn't necessary

Evidently "tests" showed gaiters captured covid droplets making it worse but what can one believe these days?

CNN's heavy hitting Dr. Wen says non surgical masks are nothing more than facial decorations.

If you think that gaitor is going to help you, you are the idiot here.

Nope. I’d consider going elsewhere if he did at this point.

My primary care doc that prescribes my testosterone thankfully doesn’t.

That’s really freaking stupid though. Of course though, the cdc could announce that it magically vanished and there is no need of a mask and someone is gonna say, well you know covid is still around unfortunately

S, be honest- you're in this thread on the side of facial coverings but you know you sing and yell at the top of your lungs in crowded Elland Road then hug/kiss the boys on every goal.
