Mandatory face masks (luxury, to eat, activities)

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?

Which stores do you shop at that won't make accommodations for you?

That's one weird way to look at it. Another way to look at it is people are hurting themselves, others, and the economy over not wearing such a simple thing as a mask.

Which is why masks aren't required outdoors when social distancing is possible. What part of this is that difficult for you?

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

I'm sorry this virus has you so frightened. Your posts have a different tone these days.
Being thrown across the kitchen is abuse, not education. Being deprived of food for a week for unknown reason is abuse, not education.
If that's how you were raised, it's good that you don't hate your parents for it, but I hope you didn't raise your kids that way.


Your rough upbringing has nothing to do with whether or not five-year-olds should be wearing masks. Perhaps we should consider the data, instead.

It's a joke. Nothing more than a psyop to see who will just do what they are told in spite of plain evidence sitting out in the open that there is nothing to worry about for 99.9% of the population. Also being used cleverly as another politicized tool of division to keep the serfs at each other's throats so they won't look further up the pyramid to who's really giving them the screwing.

I'm not frightened of Covid, only seriously financially impacted, as are most businesses. But it only costs me about $10k / month, not my life (as in needlessly has cost so many).

The context of discussion is: "Why bother caring for others?".... For some reason there are many who "Don't get it". Just like in Georgia USA... "Really? The virus can spread by asymptomatic 'super-spreaders?

Where have these people been for the last 4 months?

Note, I'm currently stuck in Texas and can't get home until Texas flattens the curve.

Just a few minutes ago I needed auto parts, and even tho mandatory masks in public places are now required in Texas, the staff was not wearing them and yelling at those who were "hey, those things aren't gonna save your lives, take those silly things off!", Again... Masks aren't used to protect the wearer, but only to contain your spray. (Which store staff was spreading plenty).

There is a severe education and social responsibility gap in USA. This is costing all of us dearly. Way more than we know today.

Simple example:
Taiwan (much closer to China / origin and hammered by initial influx of people fleeing China) has about same population as Texas.
Taiwan 449 total cases 7 deaths. No new cases recently. No economic shutdown.
........Texas Total 195,769 +5,382 (new cases in one day, down from 8000+ the day before) 2,648 deaths

Texas has had 3 month headstart to review actual data and be prepared and act accordingly.

Something is broken.

I suspect we (USA) will be banned from travel (which I do over 100 flights / yr), and we will lose a lot more businesses and leadership positions in many critical sectors. If it affects the dollar being the preferred world currency (and it could). Life will be very different in what was once the USA.

This is quite serious from a national and financial
security standpoint.

Someone doesn't get it.(as it apparently does not negativity affect them (today).

^@StealthR; Why cant you drive back? Amtrak sleeper? Nice & cool up here. Mid 70's. Cherries are pretty good and peaches are coming on.

DJT has effectively built a wall around USA to keep us In and Away from everywhere else.
USA is in the process of building internal walls.
sigh.

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.

So, scientifically, masks don't make it harder to breath? Gee, then why aren't athletes wearing them during their games? Why does the state allow not to wear a mask during exercise? I love how these "experts" contradict each other.

The economy is being held hostage to take away rights. I don't negotiate with hostage tactics.
