Mandatory face masks (costs, store, food)

It's all part of a greater plan. Enough people were sheepish enough to empower the state. People are only hurting themselves with a closed economy.

I am unable to wear a mask. Tomorrow I will go shopping. I will not cough, sneeze, sing, or shout. I probably will not even speak. I won't wipe my nose or lick my fingers. My hands will be clean.


And as I go through the store, I will know that this is what people are thinking. Hopefully no one will take it any further.


Isn't bullying great?

I keep seeing this. But this is not what the governor said. He said masks are the new normal until there is a vaccine.

The government is in control here, and if we need to change the government then that is a different issue. For now this is the path. Mask-up, social distance, be well.

It's not the only way. It's not even a way at all. People can't breath damnit.

That was not child abuse, just 'getting educated by the seat of your pants / scruff of the collar).

I would imagine any school age kid (5 +) is quite capable of wearing a mask all day.

If not... stay home.

Very simple.
No mask? Don't go out in public, don't answer your door. (When the virus detectives come knocking).

Spare us your spray.

Why talk in tongues? People can go out in public with out a mask, they just need to social distance, which is quite easy being that many people are staying indoors getting fat.

No they're not capable of wearing a mask all day, which is why most kids walk around with their mask lowered at least below their nose. There is nothing "generational" here, people of all ages need to breath.

When outside and properly maintaining social distancing I think they are not healthy.
I believe they reduce your oxygen intake.

That is kinda where I draw the line.

The freedom argument holds no fruit and is weak at best.

Have any of you seen the “cough displacement” videos that were released recently?
They reviled how different types of masks worked better than others.
They also showed how bad not wearing a mask was.
You might want to google it if you haven’t seen it,

It was an unpartisan eye opener to say the least.

When we are faced with a severe public emergency we must accept some deviations on our normal freedoms.

These are tough times and we really have to adapt and make certain changes to the way we live.
It is a sad state to be in and we should do the best we can until there is a better path that might possibly end this.

All the best.

By your logic maybe we should ban farts as well, since we already easily sense them by one of our 5 senses. Although 6 ft may or may not be enough, it's just a made up number just far enough to ruin society but not far enough for people to revolt.

Short term? Short term means 2 or 3 weeks, not 2-3 years. This is setting a precedent to control society more and more in the future.

People love trying to control others. They can never just live and let live. They hear some ignorant new laws and regurgitate it without using their head, thinking they're somehow intelligent because they're "woke".

Good news. Your belief is contrary to scientific knowledge.

Oxygen molecules, and CO/CO2 molecules, are really, really tiny. Much smaller than viral particles, which are way smaller than aerosolized vapor particles.

Medical professionals are comfortable with the fact that masks do not inhibit oxygen transfer.
