...Because you’re wearing one, you’re mad at anyone else who isn’t. You can’t say with any real certainty or evidence that you know you’re right to wear one, or that the other person is wrong not to. But that’s what you were told, and you believed it. So you decided to get a mask and wear it and yes it’s a pain but you believe it’s part of a noble, collective effort to work together and do something big. And so when you see someone who isn’t wearing a mask, you take it personally. You’ve been told that that person doesn’t care about your health and safety. And you believed it. And so you see the person who isn’t wearing a mask as a bad person; one who isn’t willing to chip in, as you are, for the collective greater good. And worse, you see someone who doesn’t care if he or she puts others in harm’s way. You’re wrong. And I’ll explain why shortly. But that hostility you feel for those not wearing masks is both unhealthy and unfounded. Your mask is making you meaner...

Here is the article: https://www.fox61.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/verify-viral-image-about-masks-gets-the-numbers-wrong-but-the-idea-right/507-ff915e39-5a79-483d-86b7-98ecc796c8e5
In a nutshell, the numbers the lefties cite assume they are N95 and properly fitted, worn and disposed of. They have no idea if cloth asks make any difference, but think they do with no numbers to back it up.
Yep. It is to make people feel safer and the way they are being used as you said possibly makes them more dangerous. I watch people all the time touch the front of the mask and as you said put it in their purse, front passenger seat, etc and reuses it for days or weeks.
Why didn’t the big guy just take his mask off if he couldn’t breathe?
You are 100% correct. Your mask is ineffective and counterproductive - to you.
I had to stop at my daughters school to pick up her locker stuff a couple weeks ago. “Social distancing” and all that crap. Was well away from everyone else.
I was at least 12 feet away from a guy wearing a respirator, and I was unmasked. The guy wouldn’t stop staring at me. after 4-5 minutes, I looked at him straight in the eye, and said, “Do we have a problem, here?” He looked taken aback and said, “Uh, no...” I replied, “Quit staring at me then, dude.”
Moron.
Wow, you flubros are the hysterical ones.
No one is going to make you wear a mask, but you don’t care if you get infected an spread it to other people and they die from it.
No with your folks its always about you.
Yawn
No one is going to make you wear a mask? Have you seen the fascist governors in stupid states? It’s like the mark of the beast. You cannot buy or sell unless you wear a mask. Wake up
They wore masks in 1918, there are pictures of MLB players wearing masks during the game. (with an empty crowd).
This situation is temporary and not the end of the world.
Wearing a mask is hardly the mark of the beast.
You are absolutely right it’s not the end of the world but too many people are acting like complete assholes and chiding others for NOT “keeping everyone safe” by not wearing masks. Those folks need to stay in their homes until rapture.
Maybe we're being conditioned to take the mark.
Lol! Maybe
I hope not because too many people just seem to be willingly walking into the dark and it’s a bit frightening. Never trust a politician or government to do the right thing.
It seems that wearing a mask is really just virtue signaling for a lot of people.
I understand that it does help prevent you from spreading the disease if YOU are contagious, but doesn’t do muchotherwise.
To: amorphous
YMMV. Besides, I doubt you will accept what I say as fact of course.

Don’t kid yourself.
Quit ‘talking down’ to people and maybe they will listen to you.
If you ‘insist’ on using terms like...your dumb opinion or some snarky remark it tends to turn people off.
Remember the way algore talks ‘down’ to people as do many of todays pols....
Why should I ‘research’ something I am asking a ‘rhetorical’ question about.
If you want to believe any and everything that WHO, CDC, Fauci, Birx etc utter, that is your prerogative but don’t ‘talk down or insult’ someone that doesn’t agree with you lockstep.
That is like someone who ONLY does the NYTimes, WashPost or CNN/CNBC etc and expect to have a sensible conversation about current events especially when it comes to current politics.
oh, I don’t do Fox either.
BTW, I am what ‘they’ consider elderly and do not ‘automatically’ buckle up BUT if you are a minor etc and get in my vehicle, you will buckle up whether I do or not. If you are an adult, that is your choice UNLESS the jurisdiction tickets for passenger not buckled up also.
No idea. He was an absolute stress case though.
Is wearing a mask the new mark of the beast?

My thought exactly!
I don’t think New Jersey is the only state that doesn’t allow you to pump your own gas. Last time I was in Oregon people there were not allowed to pump their gas either.
But they expect others to go out and deliver stuff to them.
It is conditioning. The mandatory vaccine that’s coming is the mark.
Why don't you go first by actually practicing what you're preaching. It might also help to have something actually meaningful for discussion, as a suggestion.
Oregon does not allow self-serve gas pumping, either.
