I don't wear one for several reasons. One, I have upper respiratory breathing problems (chronic bronchitis) and I feel like I am suffocating when I wear one.
Two, I worked in a hospital for years and know that masks worn by professional medical personnel are for stopping germs and bacteria from spreading from sick patients to the medical staff. Germs and bacteria are live organisms that are rather large in size. They can be seen through a microscope.
Viruses, on the other hand, are inert objects (not alive) and are submicroscopic in size and can't be seen via a regular microscope. The require an electron microscope to be seen by the human eye. They are extremely small. As a result, they pass freely through face masks as if you weren't wearing one. IOW, masks are worthless to stop viruses, including the corona virus. Worthless.
As a result, people wear masks to give then a false sense of security and because some partisan politicians tries to control them with the fear of getting sick by requiring people wear masks. De Blasio in NYC just implemented a policy today to fine anybody not wearing a mask a $1,000. This is what communist tyrants do.
Many people today wear a mask to make a fashion statement and use the mask as a fashion accessory. Has nothing to do with their health and safety. The best thing you can do is the wash your hands regularly and don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth. Everything else, including social distancing, is ridiculously antisocial for a society.
And the last reason I don't wear a mask is because I am a free American with rights and I prefer to exercise those constitutional rights than to buckle under to some authoritarian, totalitarian politician's wishes.
People who don't like that I don't wear a mask and am endangering others by not wearing one, I say tough beans. Wear your mask but leave me alone to make my own decisions.
Standing, applauding.
