Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) said officials plan to lift the state’s mask mandate soon but did not indicate when it will happen.

He made the comment during an online event with the Chamber Collaborative of Greater Portsmouth, according to CBS Boston.

I live in Illinois and never have worn a mask, the only place I have been refused service was at a hospital for blood work.

[1Old Pro]

This ought to be fun. They so scared so many people I’ve notice many are afraid to take them off.

[Graybeard58]

I saw some idiot young kid driving around in a car by themselves with a face diaper.

Probably ugly as sin and didn’t want the girls to see his face.

What is the difference really you ask?

Hitler forced Jews to wear yellow stars, in the beginning.

I bet you think complying is the better thing to do, don't you?

Well, I think it is offensive, especially since we got out of pandemic status in the first week of April of 2020. That is a fact that has been trampled on with all the noise about "cases" and "testing" and "the vaccine."

It is not good science for healthy people to wear a mask.

The only reason they wear masks in surgery is so that their own spit does not go into the open wound of the patient. People spit when they talk. Doctors will not perform surgery on someone who is infected.

There is no difference between refusing to serve someone because they are black and someone not wearing a mask. Because in both instances the consumer is not able to freely get served.

How else can you explain a 22 year old running alone in a park with one on? <<

It means they have acquired the proper “Sheep Mentality” and are a good candidates for Harvard or Yale ......No “Sheep Dogs” need apply.....

[M-cubed]

yup.....I'm willing to give up southern Maine to Mass NH or VT....Let the bidding begin!!

Choosing to wear a mask or not is not the same as an immutable characteristic as skin color. "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" signs are not discrimination against any group since the person who is turned away can come back later wearing those things and be welcomed in. How are masks any different?

The whole "no shoes no shirt" things is a red herring meant to deflect from the real reasons that people don't want to wear masks....it is almost always a medical reason OR a political reason why people don't want to wear masks. Face masks are nothing more than arbitrary piece of clothing that because of government pressure and/or threat of fines businesses have been forced to adopt policies for. The discriminate against those who have real medical issues for not wearing masks. They discriminate against those who have a real political reason for not wearing a mask. It's not for health reasons that these policies have been adopted. It's purely political. They are forcing people to participate in a political show of support for a political piece of clothing.

I bet you think complying is the better thing to do, don't you?

Considering that countries that adopted widespread mask use early on had lower COVID transmission rates, yes I do. I would wear a mask until we reach herd immunity even if there were no mask mandate in my state and I do not apologize for it.

Well, I think it is offensive

Facts don't care about your feelings, snowflake.

It is not good science for healthy people to wear a mask.

If wearing a mask is bad for healthy people than how am I able to exercise and carry heavy groceries while wearing one? How do surgeons manage to wear one for hours on end without problems? The little Vietnamese ladies who run the nail salons where I live are tougher than the anti-maskers!

The only reason they wear masks in surgery is so that their own spit does not go into the open wound of the patient.

So landscapers and nail salon workers wear them for the sheer fun of it, do they, rather than to reduce exposure to harmful fumes?

There is no difference between refusing to serve someone because they are black and someone not wearing a mask.

Not wearing a mask is a choice. Being black is not. Being drunk and belligerent is also a choice. Would you demand that a business serve a visibly intoxicated customer?

the chart is not reflecting the current case trends.

It's not for health reasons that these policies have been adopted.

So the entirety of East Asia and Western Europe, as well as many countries elsewhere, passed mask mandates not for health reasons but to discriminate against a specific group of Americans for political reasons? Sure, let's go with that. /s

The current trend is that the US has 96,913 cases and 1,741 deaths per million compared to Japan’s 4,127 cases and 76 deaths per million, South Korea’s 2,198 cases and 35 deaths per million, and Taiwan’s 45 cases and 0.5 deaths per million.

That’s the total trend, I’m interested in what has happened in the last 30 days.

[Jane Long]

Texas’ mask mandate was (FINALLY) dropped weeks ago....and, cases continue to plummet.

Exactly, these "total" states have all the murdered nursing home residents in NYC skewing the figures, as well as other mismanaged Blue states.

Look at the graphs and see for yourself.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/japan/

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/south-korea/

In summary all countries are experiencing a slight increase in total cases though nothing compared to the rate of increase at the height of the pandemic, all except Japan are seeing a decline in active cases, total deaths are leveling off or increasing at a very slow rate, and daily new deaths are on a downward trend. The difference is the numbers on the y-axis of the graph for the US are much higher, even adjusted for population.

[Jim Noble]

I’m vey interested (professionally) in mask behavior and mask mandates.

It appears that masking vs. non-masking behavior is much closer in mask vs. non-mask states than looking at “the rules” would suggest.

For example: There are many locations in “free” states where masks are required. There is a fair amount of open defiance in states where masks are “required”.

And it does not appear that there are any states that come close to mask adherence similar to countries like Australia or Taiwan where the pandemic has been effectively ended.

[1Old Pro]

all except Japan are seeing a decline in active cases

How to explain that disparity based on the original premise that Japan is better than everyone else because they wear masks.

Sure, let's go with that.

I have no idea for their reasons. But it's definitely not health since there is no study that shows that masking the general public does anything to stop or slow COVID 19. ON the contrary it SEEMS to make things worse.
