Whatsamatter with the author, Sue.
She assumes people who wear masks are the only ones who are intelligent, smart, caring, enlightened, elite, cultured, educated.
Sue needs to understand she is not the best person in the room

They actually have masks with a clear plastic inset for these people.”

I wouldn't trust that analogy.
I think you meant to respond to someone else. I didn't make that analogy.

I do, too. If I do wear a mask, it is under my nose or chin. I wear it at work because I have no choice, but as soon as it restricts my breathing, which doesn’t take long, it gets taken down. The mask has already given me all-day-long headaches and shortness of breath. Appeasing some stranger who is afraid of catching something that most people fight off isn’t worth risking my health.
To: WildHighlander57
I fit that category. So, tell me how I get all mask wearers to wear one of these? Huh?

The demonstrators also get hit with tear gas. The physical reaction is not just loss of vision from the tears. Runny noses and coughing are the result. I am ashamed that no one is making the connection with the demonstrations and the rise in cases. It is obvious with the average age of the population getting infected dropping to 35, down from 65 in March it was the result of the demonstrations.
These demonstrations had a double-barreled effect. Their results have the Marxists doing happy dances. They destroyed cities and their economy as well as giving the virus a big boost, thus prolonging its effects on the economy. In Seattle, for example, the costs of the riots have called for a payroll tax on employees to pay for it. This is targeting Amazon employees and will be an incentive for Amazon to move out of Washington State. The call to end police will permanently destroy cities and America as we know it.

“...BUT the executive orders allow for this exemption. Of course, you NEED to read the actual order.”
NC/Gov Cooper.s recent executive order has eleven exemptions, one of which, if you’re actively eating or drinking. I figure I can get away from wearing a mask if I stroll into Lowe’s drinking a Miller Lite.

If you "bump into a maskless shopper", YOU are the one violating social distancing.
That's exactly correct. I don't wear a mask in most places ... the hospital for appointments being the main one. I try to maintain my distance from everyone as much as possible to keep them from panicking. If they approach me, they lose any of their artificial "high ground" of practicing social distancing ... so screw 'em ...

I dont have a problem with people who dont want to wear a mask if they will just stay away from me
If I was young and healthy..or if I lived in an area that only had a few cases I probably wouldnt wear a mask
Good ole 28 year old CHaz must be over COVID because he has been cooking and drinking up a storm..and redecorating

If you cant wear a mask, its on you to keep your distance from other people. Your health problems dont give you the right to risk other peoples health.
If you are out in public, it's on you to maintain your own personal preferred distance from others. Just because you're standing in front of a certain product in an aisle doesn't mean they can't get it off the shelf. If you are that worried about it, then you need to be the one actively avoiding others. Or, just hide in your house and don't come out until the election is over.

You can find them on Etsy pretty cheap.

We were told “Two weeks! Just give us two weeks!” “Just flatten the curve!”
What ever happened to those lies that we said where lies when they were said?

I like this conclusion from one of you links:
“Masks are a powerful tool and can be used by countries with limited supplies of antiviral drugs and vaccines. In addition, economically feasible preventative global mitigations will benefit the world as a whole. We can conclude from our model that N95 respirators if worn properly are an effective intervention strategy in reducing the spread of the pandemic (H1N1) 2009.”

Oh for pity sake. Most of those masks tell you they wont protect you from virus. A piece of cloth, most peoples are dirty and flimsy and are a joke.
Such a shame how so many have bought into this mask clown show.
Not just masks. Any place will accept a bandanna or scarf covering your face as a "mask". Those aren't rated for ANYTHING.
To: RummyChick
Hate to tell you because I don’t want you to freak out and commit suicide, but you’ve already been exposed to this virus a number of times by now. No mask ever prevented that. You haven’t gotten sick yet or died.
