COVID is on the rise again, with a peak likely over the holiday season.
Given this, health authorities in a number of Australian states have recommended people start wearing masks again. In Western Australia, masks have been made mandatory in high-risk areas of public hospitals, while they’ve similarly been reintroduced in health-care settings in other parts of the country.
Hospitals and aged care facilities are definitely the first places where masks need to be reinstated during an epidemic. But authorities are differing in their recommendations currently. Calls to mask up, particularly in the wider community, have not been unanimous.
So amid rising COVID cases, should you be wearing a mask?

You should qualify your remarks. Cloth and surgical masks do not work. N95’s are likey do stop virus particles, but only up to the point of tolerance of the mask irritation. After a half hour or so, people start touching their masks. Sometimes they remove the mask and adjust them. They touch the contaminated outer surface and often even touch the inside of the mask. Others keep it in the pocket in between uses. In real world situations N95’s do not work as they are generally worn for more than half an hour.
VA is not requiring masks. Yet. Nor are local hospitals in the Ozarks.
Is Covid surging? I had not heard this, it is flu season however!!
actually I LOVE when people where masks! Then I know who to avoid!!
To me it’s like them wearing a giant tattoo on their faces that says “moron liberal”
Are you stupid? Are you self harming?
If No to the above do not wear mask.

IF you had a 99.94% chance of winning the lottery, woudl you play? (The lottery payoff being a 99.94% chance of living)
People stand only a 99.94% chance of surviving of dying- Some might say “Yeah but, there is still a .06% chance of dying” but the fact is many many things have a far far higher chance of dying- and we still do them anyways without a second thought-
almost everyone who caught covid was wearing a mask when they caught it because of the asinine mask mandates-
Masks don’t work

Change your gloves every time you touch something that’s contaminated.
I’ll wear a mask again just as soon as you shove a Palestinian flag up your azz.
I have four doctors appointment in the next three months. I’m not wearing a mask. I’m 76 and have had cancer three times. Don’t care. Not wearing one. If they say I have to then I’ll just say I’m not going into the office.
I had an operation in Tucson 10 days ago. Masks weren’t required for everyone in the hospital; some staff wore a mask, some didn’t. I think everyone in the OR wore one, but I can’t swear to that, because I was asleep.

Ventillators killed most of the Covid patients they were used on.
Whenever I see someone wearing their virtue signaling device, whisper “retard” as I walk past them while breathing clean air.
Comments BUMP!
This info is apparently for idiots still living in Australia the new Fascist country.
So sure wear your masks, get more Covid vaccinations and avoid other humans.
Didn’t work then, won’t work now. The first time, many were reluctantly willing to give the benefit of the doubt. When it became apparent what real agenda was that trust was over. I simply will not comply. They can ask me to wear one, I will refuse. If asked to leave private property without one I will comply, but that’s it. Wearing a face mask is not law. The government cannot demand that we wear them.
Just one? How about ten?
