I don’t see the slightest amount of “logic” in this.

People have been told to wear masks to protect themselves against an airborne virus. Consequently, wearing one doesn’t imply that you’re sick, so telling you to “stay at home” if you feel sick is pointless.

“People have been told to wear masks to protect themselves against an airborne virus.”

No, most masks are useless against the virus. Even medical workers in full protective gear have contracted it.

The reasoning behind people in general wearing it is given as it’s supposed to prevent the wearer from giving it (not getting it). So, the reasoning of the owner fits just fine.

The logic is sound. If you believe you're facing a legitimate threat of an airborne viral transmission everywhere you go, then you really have no business engaging in discretionary activities like drinking at a bar.

And if you have to remove your mask to drink anyway, then what the hell is the point of wearing it in the first place?

RE:”People have been told to wear masks to protect themselves against an airborne virus. “

Read my comment #1 that says what we been told about masks.

Also from CDC

CDC recommends that people wear a cloth face covering to cover their nose and mouth in the community setting. This is to protect people around you if you are infected but do not have symptoms.

I believe you are completely misinformed on the mask. There are very few masks out there that can protect anybody from an airborne virus, and the few that are have been sent to only health professionals.

These surgical masks and homemade masks are not effective against the teeny tiny little virus like CoVid 19 or any other Coronavirus or rhinovirus.

Someone posted a picture recently of a chan link fence, and explained that wearing these masks is like trying to keep mosquitoes getting through chain link fence. It’s impossible.

The “experts” tell us that wearing masks is to protect others from getting our germs, not the other way around. So if you feel a need to wear a mask, then it’s an indication that you think you might be sick, or a silent carrier.

You wearing a mask does not protect you.

Most Karens have zero common sense in their insane demands for the rest of the world to wear masks.
