Mask shaming erupts as latest public battle over coronavirus restrictions
The Orange County Register ^ | May 13, 2020 | SCOTT SCHWEBKE and DAVID DOWNEY

Psychology, conflicting rules, misinformation and anxiety fueling bad behavior and violence, experts say

As a culture war rages across the nation over whether to wear protective masks, closer to home the battle is spilling over into store aisles and shopping center parking lots with alarming frequency — and at times violent consequences.

Los Angeles police this week announced the arrest of two brothers who allegedly assaulted store employees and a security guard who attempted to escort them from a Target in Van Nuys for refusing to wear masks. ...

All of my neighbors know not to tick me off. Been here 20 years.

Someone wants to start anything with us, they have always regretted it. Just a few months ago a couple of kids messed with my house. All caught on camera. The father of the ringleader thanked me for not shooting his kid.

I had 4 of them pinned down in a drainage culvert until the police arrived. They were a tad bit chilly sitting in water.

"This virus is billed as being airborne not droplet I do know the difference."

No, you don't. Viral particles are virtually never airborne, they are virtually always in a liquid environment. I'm astounded at your level of ignorance. It is VERY difficult to produce a dry, respirable-sized bio-agent of ANY type, be that viral, bacterial, spore or anything else.

"If I’m not coughing and/or sneezing and observing safe distancing, there’s no way a virus is going to jump out of my nose and fly across six feet to someone I’m passing for 3 seconds"

This video by the New England Journal of Medicine shows how many particles are generated when someone is just talking. And it only captures the large particles.

People infected with coronavirus can spread it simply by talking, study finds

NO, we do not agree.

Operative terms: benign flora; open wounds; iatrogenic.

will you and the others who echo the same tired mantras, please, just keep your virtuousness to yourselves?

How many, many, many respondents have told you YOU ARE BEING MANIPULATED and you are putting America as founded at more political risk than any unmasked individual is putting any random passer-by at physical risk?

I’ve come to accept that this mask business has so captivated some people, they will never ever admit they have been played. It is cultic.

Are you ill? Stay home. Afraid of assymptomatics? Stay home.
Vulnerable? Stay home. You have no right at all to dictate to other intelligent and responsible Americans who see the greater danger we face, compared to which, a virus that is contagious but rarely lethal to a narrow portion of the populace is a walk in the park.

We cannot even trust the numbers of cases/deaths. This entire outbreak has been whipped up into a frenzy in order to control people all over the world. A very few elites stand to make a lot of money while also being in a position to dictate to everyone else.

YOU ARE FACILITATING THEM.

Our mask executive gubbner order start saturday in NM. I can’t wear one, but for getting into a store i’m going to hook a kleenex under my glasses nose bridge to cover nose and mouth. That way if I sneeze I have something to blow my nose with.

Right on. You’re not too far away from me, just the other side of the lake. Lived in GA since I was 12, used to drive between ATL and UGA through Dacula, Auburn, Carl & Winder on GA 29 before they extended 316. People here In FoCo are pretty nice. Lots of new transplants, tho. We’ll see how that goes.

Best to ya!

This might not be the exact one you're looking for, but here's an example of Fauci singing a different tune about masks recently...

YOU ARE FACILITATING THEM.

And I think it's the exact opposite. YOU are facilitating them.

I don't see how wearing a mask facilitates anyone's control over America. It's temporary. We wore masks in 1918 with no lasting repercussions.

But what you are exhibiting is the "Control Aversion" syndrome that is talked about in the article.

And by not wearing a mask, you're potentially helping spread the disease. Which will give "them" the pretense to extend regulations and shut downs.

Wear the mask, Stop the disease. Get our country back to normal. Then masks come off.

I go to work, the liquor store, and the Publix across the street, so my death cluster will be extremely easy to to identify. And the gun club, too, but that’s out in the woods.

How many of the masks being worn have ever been cleaned? They’re like wearing a reusable grocery bag.

A friend helping the Salvation Army serve food was told the masks should be put in an oven at 170 degrees for 30 minutes. How many masks being worn all over the country does anyone think have been cleaned ever?

Could you tell us which show it was that Fauci made this admission? I want to send the info to my bishop.

Lol, I never left normal. Other then not getting a haircutfor an extra 3 weeks, my life’s been completely unchanged. I didn’t go the indoor range for 2 months, but got goodhandgun practice in at my gun club. If my life hasn’t changed, why should I do something different?

It has nothing to do with “virtue signalling” and everything to do with a very simple, very effective means of protecting yourself AND OTHER PEOPLE.

The fact that you capitalized “other people” while claiming it is not virtue signaling is priceless.
