True story....I was in Tractor Supply about a month ago. There was a sign on the door stating masks were REQUIRED. I go in because I expect people to have them on. I realized that most didn’t have them on. I turned to leave and an anti-masker “Karen” crossed the aisle and put her face right in mine and laughed. I didn’t say a word. I backed up at the same time her husband grabbed her and pulled her away from me. He apologized while she laughed and smirked. Those are the sorts I have an intense dislike for right about now.
When I see people here making fun of people that choose to wear one, calling them names like “sheeple” and “low IQ”, I tend to react due to my personal experiences. I really hope people that do that here are not like that in public. Most of those posts I skim over and probably should all of them. The “hacks” I was referring to are the ones that call names and claim science 100% says they don’t work. You can look hard enough and find anything online that will back up a belief. I’m not sure about that second claim and don’t want elderly people that are more timid told not to do something that might help. That’s all. I think most Freepers mean well even if I think they are wrong.

What a witch to do that to you!
I see plenty of people about town wearing masks and I am not the person to judge the motivation of others. Some are elderly, others could have an illness I am unaware of or they just choose to be “safe rather than sorry”.
No matter our difference in opinion no one has the right to attack another person over a simple thing like a mask. It’s like the world has gone crazy and people hav lost the art of common courtesy.
Don’t let it get you down, we’re not all like that horrible woman
Thank-you and I assure you that no offence was meant toward you or any others specifically. I have seen so much ugliness over masks locally that I have had a craw full and react sometimes in a negative way. LOL I am 66 with asthma but otherwise healthy. My husband is 83 and believes everything he reads or hears. I might survive covid. If I get exposed, get it, survive it, and he gets it from me and dies, how would I deal with that? If I didn’t get sick he wouldn’t have either.
I’m thinking about the elderly. If wearing the stupid masks helps even a little to protect me or protect somebody from me, it’s worth it.
I don’t have any bad feelings toward people that choose not to wear one, unless they intentionally get in my face just to harass.
people should stay home if they are sick....
