No, because I think its crazy to go on a date right now.
Yes we go on dates practically every weekend and wear a mask unless outside
I do it around large groups of people more then 3 so no i just social distant
Yes, a mask nowadays is being responsible to society; wearing one is a norm ( the same as wearing a shirt or shoes).
Not exactly the same as wearing a shirt or shoes.
Being responsible to society is exactly why I DON'T wear a mask.
@gotc147 The idea of wearing a mask is not to protect yourself; the reason is to protect other people; to lessen the spread, to preserve life. I will admit wearing a mask can be uncomfortable at times; however, recognizing that it helps, even it the smallest, is being responsible.
I'm well aware of what the narrative concerning masks is, I'm still not wearing one.
Yes, unless eating. I'd also try to take a COVID test a day before.
Not during all the date, but I would do it while I travel in public transport or I'm inside a public building.
no. i don't wear masks where i'm not legally forced to. i'll inform my date about that. she can opt out if she wants.
Of course. People who don't wear them are only worsening the state of the world.
Then you Berra stay at home
I don't think I will be comfortable wearing mask to a date.
Heck ya I would wear a mask if we're in a public place... But if it's private, I'd make sure they're comfortable about me without a mask
Definitely it's smart to do so and if you go to a place to eat then you take it off while you eat simple as that
Very good question. If i have just met her, then yes, and then, after a while (like a month) we can go out mask-free
Because the virus pardons you then?
They share the same bubble at a certain point @piff
Absolutely not. There's no reason for a healthy person to wear a mask.
To minimise spreading it to other people? You don’t wear a mask to protect yourself, you wear it so you don’t spray your spit onto surfaces and other people who are not as lucky to be healthy.
@AmourHoney What am I spreading if I don't have the virus?
@AmourHoney But if your spit/germs are healthy, then besides the normal etiquette of not spitting on somebody, what's the point?
Meanr to say good point @joeldalton
@Yads_Is_Back all good. GMTA
You do realise you can have the virus without having any symptoms right?
@AmourHoney You realize that if you have the virus and don't have symptoms you aren't contagious, right?
Common question
Can people without symptoms transmit COVID-19?
Yes, infected people can transmit the virus both when they have symptoms and when they don’t have symptoms. This is why it is important that all people who are infected are identified by testing, isolated, and, depending on the severity of their disease, receive medical care. Even people confirmed to have COVID-19 but who do not have symptoms should be isolated to limit their contact with others. These measures break chains of transmission.
And that is directly from the WHO website.
And that’s why people who have the virus without symptoms are asymptomatic. But they can still pass the virus onto other people who could develop the symptoms.
@AmourHoney
Google Dictionary:
Healthy - adjective
adjective: healthy; comparative adjective: healthier; superlative adjective: healthiest
in good health.
"I feel fit and healthy"
Opposite: ill
(of a part of the body) not diseased.
"healthy cells"
www.statnews.com/.../
The WHO defines health as a state of “complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
OMG THAT ONE COMES FROM QUOTING THE WHO WEBSITE TOO 🤔How interesting...
That’s why it’s called asymptomatic. You experience NO SYMPTOMS BUT YOU STILL HAVE THE VIRUS AND PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE ELSE. Where the hell have you been? This has literally been explained EVERYWHERE. My cousin had the virus with ZERO symptoms and then passed it onto her mother who experienced the symptoms. Being asymptomatic doesn’t mean you’re healthy, it means you have the virus but it hasn’t affected your body in way that gives YOU symptoms but you are still very much able to pass it on to someone else.
From the who website.
Asymptomatic transmission refers to transmission of the virus from a person, who does not develop symptoms. There are few reports of laboratory-confirmed cases who are truly asymptomatic, and to date, there has been no documented asymptomatic transmission. This does not exclude the possibility that it may occur.
@AmourHoney lol, they said that right after they said they couldn't spread asymptomatically. But again, I'll ask the question that you won't answer me or @yads_is_back. Why should healthy people wear masks?
Since then it HAS occurred.
I literally just did. Because you can have the virus without knowing and you can spread it to other people. I’m not explaining it any more.
@AmourHoney If you have a virus, you're not healthy are you?
Exactly, but you can have the virus and not know that you have it meaning that you THINK you’re healthy because you have no symptoms.
Which is why you should wear a mask, you may think you’re healthy right now but it could still be in your system without you realising and you not wearing a mask means you’re spreading your germs without realising that you’re not actually healthy. That’s literally just an example but that’s why masks are suggested. Because you can think you’re healthy and still carry the virus without realising because you’re asymptomatic.
@AmourHoney only 2% of the country has tested positive for the virus. That means 98% of us don't have the virus. Odds are I don't have it.
I’m guessing you’re from the US?
@AmourHoney yup. UK's at.5%, so 99.5% of you don't have it.
Yet everything here in the UK is slowly going back into lockdown, my city has gone back into lockdown. A bunch of schools have been shut and we’ve had the most daily cases since May. Because it’s still spreading rapidly.
@AmourHoney You just said if you have the virus then you aren’t healthy, which is what I showed you in the links. That’s why I defined it for you. His whole point was for people who are healthy and follow that definition. You just contradicted yourself.
That’s what I mean you can think you’re healthy whilst having the virus because you don’t have symptoms. It’s really not that hard to grasp my love.
I’m done here, I genuinely feel like I’m losing brain cells talking to the both of you.
@AmourHoney Your own website reference says that part of “healthy” is absence of disease. A virus is not healthy. You just admitted that.
YES, but people without symptoms can think they are healthy because they are not experiencing symptoms. There for people are prancing about without masks THINKING that they are healthy when they’re really asymptomatic. Why is that so hard for you to understand my point? Jesus Christ.
@AmourHoney Yeah, don’t lose the few you have. That would suck. You have no ammo now because you contradicted yourself 🤣
@AmourHoney I feel bad for you for putting up with the nonsense lockdowns. There's no evidence lockdowns work.
No it’s just like trying to explain something to a 3 year old.
Yeah there is, the cases slowed down during lockdown and then once things opened again cases started going back up.
I’d rather be in lockdown.
@AmourHoney When did you decide it was ok for the government to tell you that you can't get sick?
@AmourHoney I’m not saying your point is invalid. Yes, you’re right. But @joeldalton is not wrong, so there’s where the issue lies. You can’t prove him wrong. He didn’t say IF YOU THINK you’re healthy... No. He said a healthy person. A healthy person is absent of disease.
Both sides are pretty simple to comprehend.
Yes but that is my point, you can’t determine that you’re healthy if you’re asymptomatic.
@AmourHoney So a 3-year-old knows more than you? Now that’s sad...
Then how do you think the doctors determine it?
My parents are both M. D. s. Yes, I can literally get tested at home, my friend
By symptoms, and that is my point. If you have no symptoms you’re not going to get tested, right? So you should wear a mask in case you are carrying the virus without symptoms.
It’s literally just taking precautions in case you have it without knowing, to help minimise the spread to other people.
@AmourHoney you're just delaying the virus in lockdown, not preventing it. Not eliminating it.
Exactly, delaying it until a vaccine is made. Which is the whole point. Sorry that I care about my families health, not everyone is lucky to have properly functioning lungs.
@AmourHoney Do you care about the people who have OD'ed on drugs due to the stress of lockdowns? Or do you only care about your family?
Of course I care! Which is why you wear a damn mask to minimise the spread whilst out in public, so things can open and function whilst a vaccine is in the works. If YOU cared about being ODing then you wouldn’t kick up such a damn fuss about following government rules that allow you to go back out into public.
We went back into lockdown because people weren’t following the rules here, they weren’t staying apart, they weren’t wearing a mask etc. So if you truly cared then you would just follow the rules to prevent a lockdown happening again. So don’t even try and use that as a way to insult me.
@AmourHoney oooh, hold the phone here. You just said you preferred to be in lockdown. In lockdown means that more people will commit suicide, be victims of domestic/sexual abuse, be victims of depression and anxiety. So your preference leads to those things.
I prefer to live in a free society where shitty science doesn't destroy people's lives to lock healthy people in their homes without cause.
If people are vulnerable, absolutely protect them and let them protect themselves. But this nonsense of healthy people (and the VAAAAAAASSSSTT majority of people that will sail through getting covid) having to live like prisoners is unprecedented, based on shitty science, and destroying society.
@Yads_Is_Back Ironically, most of the time my 'unhealthy' germs make you healthier in the long term. How do people not understand how the immune system works?
Yes, me, personally, myself. I have kept myself and my family in lockdown where it benefits OUR own health. Look, do whatever the fuck you want I’m done with this conversation. Goodbye.
@joeldalton In short, a lot of people just don't want to. They want to go along with what everybody else does. As the daughter of two M. D. s and also as a med school student myself, it is kind of laughable how much they don't know, not gonna lie.
Like when she said the doctors test it only by the signs... LOL. Well then there's no reason to go to the doctor to get tested, is there? But I wasn't gonna keep on. I realized she was one of those like you are saying who just don't understand the basics of biochem and medicine.
As someone who has family in the medical field and family who worked on the Covid wards, yes I very much do understand. But go off.
no. I would date out in the open and forget about distancing if things go well
The photo of trump is very fitting to your comment.
@Lizzzzz288283 why tho?
trump doesn't see the dangers of Covid either
@Lizzzzz288283 I most likely had it. my uncle in brasil had it. yea I don't see it. at least we are allowed to work here (even if I have to wear a mask I am grateful to get an income) and I am not in a financial ruin because of a government closure. do you know the dangers of being homeless? loosing everything you built up and depression? just for a tought I don't mind if u don't answer by the way the picture has nothing to do with my political view I just found it funny and it won't get taken down by GaG
If you need to wear one dating doesn't make you exempt..
Yes, for my date‘s sake, my sake, for everyone‘s sake.
From the looks of things in the comments, coronavirus isn't real so...
Ofc not. Nobody wears masks where i live except libtards.
I had sex with my partner the other day wearing a mask. (Just thing it was a turnon.)
I don't think wearing a mask is important for dating.
But, you don't know whether the person has the virus.
Cause its sucks to do that,,, is not undisputed pal!
