The MSM only reports on those who are hospitalized after being skeptical of or even mocking masks for shock value. There are many more who have publicly ridiculed the wearing of masks and even going as far as questioning the seriousness or reality of the virus.

65 yr old Belarus President Lukashenko mocked the virus from the get go and then mysteriously gets infected but is *asymptomatic* - either the virus is phony like dunes says or there are so many false positives that's it's not even funny anymore.

The mask mandate is a deliberate attempt to bring us to our knees and go begging for a vaccine.

One of the many lies that make no sense. Telling us there is a spike or a second wave when we know there isn’t. Claiming the hospitals were full when they weren’t. Having total lock downs when we know they don’t save lives, they cost lives. Let's just flatten the curve for two weeks. Censoring those who were skeptical as they knew their lies couldn't stand the light of day. Substituting deaths for cases. Testing perfectly healthy people.

It’s naked psychological terrorism.

Very well stated Allen. ?

I normally get colds probably 4 or 5 times a year. Zero since wearing a mask for 6 months. It almost seems worth it to me.

So you do you. I'd rather get a sniffle every now and then than suffocate in a mask every day.

One thing is for sure. Masks will be the norm when it comes to any industry involving food.

Covid has made face masks the new norm for the following:

1. Shy people.

2. Ugly people.

3. People with acne.

4. People with bad teeth.

5. People who want to go through life anonymous (not related to #1).

6. Fugitives from US Marshal Service.

7. Married men entering bath houses.

8. Anyone who doesn't want to be recognized (not related to #6).

9. Anyone in a bad mood day.

Covid has been a blessing to so many people. It has made face masks a normal accessory long after Covid is "cured". I am deadly serious. There are so many great reasons to wear a mask unrelated to health.

Thank you, China.

All you uncultured rubes have no idea what you are talking about. Go visit Japan or China. It's a sign of respect for your fellow citizens to wear a god damned masked when you are sick.

This is a crazy concept to you trumpers, but in other lands, people care for each other, and try and di the right thing by them.

Anyone I see with out a mask gets the old Richard Spencer. Florida is a stand your ground stat....and I will

Well, I guess you'll spend the rest of your life in prison then. And riiiiight, I'm sure you'll be gunning down the next person you see without a mask.

Anyway, I'll put this in a way you may be able to understand. The size of COVID-19 microbes is so small as compared to the permeability of a surgical mask that it is akin to putting up a chain-line fence to keep out mosquitoes.

Not to mention the fact, the average person has about a 1/5000 chance of dying from the virus.

I'm waiting for you suggest that driving a car should be prohibited since a lot more people die every year from automobile accidents than are dying from the "pandemic".

I think you're absolutely right - masks will be become the normal part of human behavior based on those reasons plus wanting to avoid infections from viruses. Because of Covid people have been conditioned to fear viruses to a level never seen before. Once Covid is gone many people will still fear the next Covid (e.g., Covid-20), a bad flu season or any virus out there that the government feels the need to warn about (i.e, MSM hype). People are just too scared at the risk of getting sick & recovering from a viral infection. People have lost faith in their immune system and don't trust it anymore to protect them against viral & bacterial infections. It's masks, social distancing & vaccines for the new norm of humanity.

And people are adapting to, and actually seem to enjoy wearing masks more than I thought. There are very few protests with any teeth against masks and the peer pressure for not wearing masks is lot stronger than I imagined. If the government's objective was to mask up most of the nation indefinitely without retribution then they've done one hell of a job!

And masks have become a reflection of people's ever changing emotions. My son's girlfriend has masks that have a smiley face, a sad face, an angry face, etc., that she wears given her mood for that particular day. I've seen all kinds of weird masks that people wear at the gym that I go to including one guy who wore a mask that says "Don't screw with me!" Lol. It's crazy but it's a brave new world - look at the these masks of the future! ?

Correct, but just by reading the posts here, it seems that a lot of people are confused about the primary purpose of masks.

The primary purpose is to collect the stuff coming out of your own mouth. The point is that if the covid is in your body, we want to keep it there rather than having you spew it out where someone else may breathe it in. (Not debating whether or not that is a good idea)

It's not the weapons-of-mass-destruction-chemical-mustard-gas mask concept where you are trying to prevent stuff from getting in. The typical masks may block some of that too, but it's not the primary purpose.

I think this misunderstanding resulted in a lot of people who, in principle, espouse the idea of personal freedoms that don't infringe on the personal freedoms of others, getting themselves on the wrong side of this argument. Remember that idea of "the rights of my fist end where the rights of your nose begin"? It's the same thing.

Wearing a mask is like cleaning up after yourself. It's like a barf bag for your microorganismic ralphing.
