An overwhelming majority of Americans say they've worn a face mask in public in the last week, as the coronavirus pandemic persists and infections reach new highs in more than a dozen states, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds.

Nearly nine in 10 Americans (89%) who left their home in the last week said they wore a face mask or a face covering, compared to only 11% who said they did not.

yup, sheeple, doing something that doesn’t actually help, but sure makes the snowflakes feel good and virtue signalling they ‘care’.

and while people wear them around where i am, it sure as heck isn’t anywhere close to 9 out of 10.

this is partly what it is, yes.

they want to get people used to snitching on each other as well

third thing they want to do is tweak their facial recognition software systems for when faces are partly obstructed

I think we were played with that karen crap.

Decent people protect each other in a crisis situation. Masks aren’t perfect but they help. What is the big deal? Put one on when you go out so ‘opening up the economy’ is easier for all of us.

I suspect they’ll be shocked when stores outside of masked areas do quite well. When it’s merely a matter of driving fifteen minutes out of your way to go to another grocery, it’s pretty simple.

Doctors and nurses wear them so THEY don't infect others. Doctors and nurses wear them because THEY are around other sick people, and won't transfer the disease.

If you are sick, you deliberately go out to infect others? You are a Good Party Member, and Stupid.

I keep one in my pocket. I only put it on if someone at the door of a business tells me I need one. So, yeah. I’ve worn one in public.

In my area (Mid-South US) I’d say that @ present no more than 20% of the shoppers @ the grocery store are wearing masks of any kind.

With cases back on the increase in many areas, I expect mandatory masks to get into, say, the grocery, to become prevalent in more states.

I do have to observe that while not “fun” to have to wear, masks are a quite minor discomfort compared to many, many other things. It appears from this and many other threads that (aside from “freedom” concerns) we have a large contingent of FReepers (and most Americans?) who are real sissies when it comes to a bit of extended physical hardship. I’m sure the Chinese and others are taking note.

They may find that a blanket mandate without any exceptions violates the ADA.

Face masks are useless and this virus will never be beaten. The flu and common cold, of which a corona virus is one of the primary agents have not been beaten. The 89% stat is BS, but if the mask makes you feel safer, then go for it. The mask is worn for your protection, to keep you from getting a disease. Even the best mask only stops particles down to 5 microns; viruses are 250 times smaller so good luck with the mask keeping viruses out.

I am in the Tampa area.

I see about 40% mask usage.

Employees are stuck wearing them. But at stores or restaurants. Well under half are wearing masks.

If you go to the beaches.....Nobody is wearing a mask.
