Fear compromises your immune system...’they’ know exactly what they are doing.

QFT: I don’t understand the problem. Fauxci, The Skarf Queen and the Surgeon General told us all several weeks ago that masks do not help the general public at all and we should not wear them and we should certainly not hoard them. We should leave all masks to the professional medical community because us common folk have no need for them. They do us no good whatsoever.I have been following that advice since. Now they say if we don’t wear masks we’re all gonna die!!!

Such a contradiction in such a short amount of time tells me that:

1) they don’t know what the hell they are talking about OR

2) they have an agenda divorced from scientific research OR

3) BOTH.

Looks like we attended the same School of Logic. By the CDC reckoning, at age 65 with 3 "co-morbidities", I already have one foot in the grave with the other foot on a banana peel. I'm still not interested in living my life behind a mask that does nothing, allows virus particles to pass like mosquitos through a chain link fence, and restricts my breathing while fogging my glasses.

I won’t wear one on my own personal accord but it sure looks like masks are going to be required for some time to work in an office setting. They will become the equivalent of clothing, a social norm that must be followed.

These people that refuse to wear masks are just puffing their chest and trying to declare they are macho men. Lol.

Here is why I wear a mask and how I decide when and where it is necessary:

This article explains outbreaks in a call center, a choir practice and a restaurant. Long but very informative so an intelligent person can make the right decision, if not for themselves, for others.

“I too am senior (69) and I too rarely wear a mask and when I do it’s usually because I’m forced to.”

Ditto. A senior (71). I wore one once — to my surgeon’s office. Monday I have an eye doctor’s appointment and am supposed to wear a mask? WTF? How can an effective eye exam be given wearing a mask? It can’t. I may call today and cancel.

I don’t get the aversion to wearing a mask.

It’s just a mask.

Right. I was thinking an appropriate answer to libs screaming about us not wearing masks would be, “My body. My choice.”

I had COVID. My lungs are jacked up now.

Have to see a pulmonologist because my breathing capacity has been reduced from all the scarring.

Not “could” in my case...it DID.

F those Chicom bastards.

A little more woke and less compliant or gullible overall on average too.

Appropriate for the times.

Isolated under the gaze of our tech overloads we’re gonna be needing a code for real communication, too!

Well, there are at least 3 of us on this thread that think not wearing a mask under current circumstances in crowded environments is irresponsible.

The best advice from early on was that the mask will not prevent contracting cv19, but can help limit the spread if one is so infected.

Here is the bottom line from the link Snippy provided upthread to a rather scholarly article: "...do your part and wear a mask to reduce what you release into the environment. It will help everyone..."

Give that some thought FReepers; it is not a macho thing.

That dumbass did not even test positive for coronavirus. He had three negative tests and had this dramatic photo-op from his hospital bed, but he never tested positive.

Here is said dumbass being called out for his lies:

That doctor never even tested positive for the virus. He admitted on Twitter he tested negative three times, but was “presumed positive.”
