You need to stay indoors before you get a well deserved ass kicking.

That is okay for YOU. If it makes you feel better to wear something, that’s fine. But at at no point should this be obligatory to others.

Lol! Listen, that’s why there is no logic behind the mask thing. You wear it into a restaurant, but you can take it off to eat your burger. The virus is still actively lurking, seeking whom it may devour, right? None of this makes sense.

I don’t usually wear a mask, but keep my “Trump 2020” face mask in my pocket in case I encounter a leftist Karen.

“Oh, sorry. Thanks for reminding me.”

Those statistics mean nothing to me.

If I am standing at my grocery cart and an employee turns around less than a foot from me and yells his germs with a straight shot to the side of my unprotected face and my eyes and mouth..and he has covid...I absolutely could catch it. I have a better chance of not catching it with a mask and face shield but because it was to the side of my face I could still absolutely catch it.

There is someone here who has permanent eye damage after getting a shot to the side of his face from some Asians behind him in auditorium seating. This was back in November or december. There were students from Wuhan there.

What were his chances of catching it???? When very few in the US had it and no one even knew about it.

I wont wear a mask. I don’t care if I get the virus. If you don’t want the virus, wear a mask or stay home. I avoid Costco, and even church, because I am not going to wear a mask. I assume masks will disappear right after the election.

Perfectly logical.

The powers that be want going out to feel awkward and uncomfortable.

Fewer people going out >>> soft "lockdown" without explicitly ordering one.

Because of medical issues I cannot wear a mask. The only times that someone inquired about why I was not wearing a mask, they came within two feet of me to talk. I had to tell them to back away if they wanted to talk to me. In our state, you have to wear a mask if you cannot Social distance. Most businesses only follow the masks are required part, not the if part, of the governor’s edict. I got tired of people freaking out about me not wearing a mask, so now I wear one and pull it down far enough that I can breathe and not degrade my vision. Please do not give me advice about my mask. You will not like the results.

Then YOU should tell that to your employer. Tell them shields and face masks do no good. Present the articles someone here posted

AND REFUSE TO WEAR THEM

The mask is the new Nazi armband.

Exactly right.

Incidentally, I have spoken to a gentleman over the phone who tested positive for Covid-19 who asked me, “Lady, I wear a mask all the time. I wear gloves. Always wash my hands and use hand sanitizer. I social distance myself. Why did I catch this?”

I really didn’t have a good answer for him, but I suspect he’s not doing any of those things now.

Absolutely. A set of circumstances has been turned into an agenda. It’s probably going to continue until Nov 4.

I cough in front of masked people on purpose. I like the look of horror on their faces.

Unfortunately, again, I am forced to wear that at work. On my own time, I choose not to have headaches and shortness of breath due to the masks. I am more afraid of what the mask is doing to us.

Yes, the virus might magically disappear after that, especially if some Demoncrat gets in.

I was watching the old TV movie, THE DAY AFTER, recently. Very grim for TV back in the day. Reaffirmed my desire to always live near a Ground Zero site!

This article comes from a completely incorrect premise. What should we do about the masked Karens that buy into this hoax and readily go along with sacrificing freedom for security at the hands of tyrants? Yes, that includes you, Fearpers. I am too old to be bullied by people who have succumbed to mass delusion and the instructions from the mentally ill. (I'm referring to the PA secretary of health that willingly cut off his penis.)

I will not wear a mask. Period. I will not be told what to do by a Marxist governor and he butt buddy transexual health secretary. There is something amazingly wrong with anyone that is so gullible to believe people like this and stop living their lives over something no more dangerous than the flu.

We can start by widely utilizing the term KARENOVIRUS.

Ridicule is a powerful ally.

With supporters like you and the other flu-bros here, Trump doesn’t need political enemies. You and your ilk are really hurting Trump’s chance of reelection. That’s not a good thing,
