Are you wearing a mask while running?

I started out a Conscientious objector, however, after repeated harassment by masked vigilantes I started to wear one out of fear of persecution.

Serious question, if I’m infected and I don’t wear a mask and I find myself in an enclosed area in close proximity to a mask wearing non infected person, how high are the chances of transmission?

I will not wear a mask while running (or anywhere else).

Why not? Informed consent. We have the right to decide what goes on--and into--our own bodies.

It's funny what ignorant people think their rights are. I'd like to see what happens when this person walks down to the police station naked and tells them that he or she has the right to decide "what goes on--and into--" his or her own body.

Some states require it.

No it isn’t. I’m not sick. Asymptomatic people can’t spread the virus. You’re misinformed.

Are you saying that you now wear one while running, or just in public? Have you been harassed into wearing one while running? I have not seen a single runner in a mask. I still steer very clear of anyone while running just to be courteous.

Why would I wear a mask while running? Oxygen is a lot easier to breathe than carbon dioxide

LMAO at this argument. It's pretty settled that masks don't significantly increase the CO2 in your system.

Surgeons wear masks for hours, climbers do too, as well as people running in cold weather, and all seem to do fine. Hell, Rupp won USAs wearing a mask.

Surgeons are not running and climbers only wear oxygen masks at altitude. Rupp took the mask off part way through and didn't break 28.

I am not and will not unless it is legally enforced. I wear one indoors and in crowded locations and take all other precautions. However wearing a mask while walking outside in the nice weather or running sucks.

Yes they can, even if they carry less virus. And then there are also the "pre-symptomatic" - which are very contagious shortly before the onset of symptoms (which you don't know then).

Do I wear a mask when I'm running? Of course NOT. Not even when walking through the city outside. I would in a really crowded situation like an open air concert for example (only theoretical atm obviously). But yes I wear a surgical mask when I'm indoors with other people, for example at the supermarket or my working place.

I only wear one for situations in which I think confrontation will be unavoidable. Schtitt told me some stories about blind obedience and that’s the main reason for my skepticism. But I’m headed down to the weight room, we’ll see if Lyle has any pearls.....the overweighted shoulder pull becomes a chin up...

...Everyone should get at least one good look at the eyes of a man who finds himself rising toward what he wants to pull down to himself.

I understand. Sometime I think my fear of what we're becoming as a nation is greater than my fear of the virus' impact on our citizens' health. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling "Don’t!" and "Hang on!", can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.

I wear a mask for everything now. Even while sleeping and eating.

I would not wear a mask during exercise, because wearing a mask starves and increases the toxicity of the body, increases cortisol, increases the stress response, and lowers immunity.

Wearing a mask lowers people's conditioning, and increases their chance of getting sick, injured and of dying.

By whom, if there’s no one around?

Yes, feel free to not wear a mask if you don’t want to. I really don’t care.

But don’t pretend you have some physiological reason for it. Just be straight and say you don’t want to.

Breathing is one of the MOST IMPORTANT physiological functions.

Good grief, how can there be so many people who don't understand this?????

Do you understand it takes a few minutes of sustained exposure to readily transmit the virus and that no one has gotten the virus from randomly breathing in air outside?

I understand this and have not been wearing a mask outside. I've seen a lot of people who either don't understand this or view the virus as a death sentence and run or cycle in a mask. They generally look very uncomfortable. I see some pull masks up and down as they get passed by people, which pretty much defeats the purpose.

You don't need to wear a mask if you're nowhere near anyone. Don't be a prick and get mad when someone running alone and 10+ feet away from other isn't wearing a mask.
