This is what liberals have been trying to tell you guys.

Especially to Trump and Pence.

You'd be wrong.

There are people who think making people wear homemade masks is some kind of conspiracy to strip their liberties.

I literally never even made that point.

You sound more like the conspiracy theorist to me. Generalizing a whole group of Trump supporters because some people don't like wearing masks.

When such people have their daily freedoms and liberties totally robbed of them by being hospitalized with COVID-19, they might be able to change their minds about some conspiracy.

And some of these masks are being price gouged, so its not like its easy or cheap to find new masks.

I see more people touching their faces now WITH the masks than when they aren't wearing them. On top of that, if theyre not being washed daily...

I have ten home made masks in addition to disposable surgical masks. I throw my home made ones in the washing bin after each use.

Touching one's face is something that is really hard to unlearn. A mask helps because it put a barrier between hand and nose/mouth.

The problem is: that "some people" includes the Potus and VP.

When it's rotten at the top, it tends to be rotten at the bottom. Maybe not all of it, but it's a problem.

I still find it odd that masks are recommended but no store hands out disposable ones at entrance, nor do they sell the cloth ones. You have to either make them or overpay for one from unknown source online.






I have no problem wearing one, but make it easy to aquire cheap functional one, not some easter egg hunt.

It's not that hard. I wash mine in the sink with hot water and dish soap when I get home from wherever I've been. I hang it over the kitchen doorknob to dry overnight.

Anyone who whines about washing their masks is just damn lazy. Always an excuse ...

Social distancing is what derailed the economy. Mask wearing helps to get it back on track by slowing the spread.
