I just finished getting Jaw Surgery, and my whole face is swollen. I can already barely breathe through my nose, and my mouth is now wired shut. I’d most likely suffocate if I had to wear it more than a couple of minutes. They didn’t even make me wear it at the hospital recovering. I’ve gotten yelled at by people at the grocery store, and actually kicked out. People are rude. I’m medically cleared, and people don’t listen to reason. I understand the paranoia, but I can’t tell the anxiety that comes when you’re already malnourished eating out of a straw and have to go hungry because people won’t allow you to buy food. Luckily I got my girl and family to take care of me, but that was a day in hell trying to get food.
I work at a convenience store. I'd say about 60-70% of customers wear a mask. Only 20-30% social distance. Some say the crisis is over. Some say it's over hyped. Some are just aholes. The lazy and forgetful put their shirts over their faces. Some are protesting the shutdown and think wearing a mask is political.
When they ask if I enforce the rule I say no, unless you have a cough. Then I will get very angry. If you have a "smoker's cough" wear a friggin mask! If you dont, its courteous to wear one, and discourteous to not. That's what I tell people.
Because most people believe this Corona shit is overly hyped made up bullshit and think it’s pretty pointless to wear it , so they are stubborn about it , Me personally agrees with them on something’s but I don’t have a problem wearing it , the way I look at it is it’s respect for others , if I am going to someone’s store and they require wearing shoes , I am going to wear shoes , so if the store requires a mask I will wear a mask , it’s not my establishment to make that decision , if I was a store owner and someone didn’t like my rules, then go shop somewhere else I hate people that think they have a right on things when they aren’t the ones paying the bills , you don’t like it then get the fuck out simple as that
I would say it is selfishness and stupidity of people to not wear masks! Just think about it that people who are not wearing masks, they are putting themselves in danger and other people as well! I would say recommend everyone to stay inside their homes, to not wander unnecessarily! Those who are going outside, wear masks, use sanitizer, be faraway from people as possible!
Um... you want people to take measures to protect you by hobbling themselves and their children instead of simply hunkering down yourself, and you claim they're the ones being selfish? You have not thought this through.
But what’s the big deal about wearing a mask? I mean you’re not fighting following the road rules.. you’re not saying I should stay home if I do t want to get rammed by a car who decides they no longer like stopping at red lights because they don’t like being told what to do. Why is putting a mask on such a big deal, but following Other guidelines isn’t? That’s the real question.
Well some people feel like it’s taking away from there freedom.. lol but I mean if that’s the case, what why don’t they fight helmet use while riding recreational vehicles and bikes. Or them requiring a seatbelt while driving or operating a vehicle... better yet, fighting property taxes on property that you paid for, because if you truly own something, why you have to keep paying on it? Or having a car and still having to pay to operate it (register it, have insurance on it, etc...) but yet, those are fine... but wearing a mask that could help curb the spread of a virus, and is a safety mandate for the public is an attack on our freedom 🙄 give me a break!
For jaysus sake, here we go again. Look... ill say it as simply as possible... Masks are useless placebos. Masks reduce O2 intake and inhibit CO2 dispersion dangerously. Masks are to continue the fear and further implant the psyop. Masks are a symbol of obedience and cowardice. Im not going into it AGAIN cos obviously you people are accepting the lies and NOT doing ANY fucking research. The science is out there being silenced. Its amazing how experts bang on about masks but not about actual immune system care via a healthy diet and lack of stress (science out there). BUT, other experts who do not advocate wearing muzzles are silenced, criticised and banned. doesn't take much fucking digging deep to see the fucking cracks. Enjoy whats left of your freedoms and remember its those like us who are fighting to stay free. If you're gonna argue back without doing any research then shag off.
Because America has a cult of stupidity. It has for a long time but it’s gotten worse.
oh that and there actually is a little bit of a conspiracy - a large number of twitter accounts posting inaccurate info about Covid are bots. So basically all the people claiming the elites have a coronavirus conspiracy are almost right but actually backwards - the conspiracy is killing them off by telling them to refuse to wear masks.
Regardless of Politics, many are Just--Dicks. There is a Pandemic out here and Wearing a mask and Social Distancing can at least help CURVE some of this virus.. Doesn't take a Rocket Scientist. Some say it a Hoax and Some Say it is Politics... I say as MASTER it is Real Deal. Be Smart, Everyone!!! xx
I kinda just end up wishing they would catch covid and find out what they could have avoided first hand. RARELY do i wish bad things on others but sometimes the best way to teach those who are ignorant. Is for them to first hand experience of what they thought was fiction.
@888theGreat I'm moderate but guess here we go another radicalized republican going off on another rant. Much like their idiotic leader. Who spent the last what 4 months denying Covid.
I love when liberals want to try to make a point and seem reasonable , they start off by saying I am moderate , then go far left with their points being critical of conservatives , which most Republicans are not. Most Republicans are not even Christians.
@888theGreat I'd say good things about conservatives if their choices didn't always bite themselves in the ass on a consistent basis. Sure liberals have made mistakes but they at least didn't burn everyone equally. Some groups at least came out ahead. One has to wonder when almost every excutive order or new law just makes everyone more miserable rather than better off. I mean look the trumps half baked plan for tarrifs XD. They costed the US almost as much as war does with out the profit that comes with.
Let alone the fact covid has only gotten worse in the states and yet the conservatives want kids to go back to school. Which is an enormous hazard to families if they are multi- generational. Infected COVID kid goes back home infected. And potientially wipes out their family cause their infected. :/ That'll be a great headline for Trumps education board.
If you look the people refusing are usually 1) "conservative" 2) Trump supporters 3) Climate Change deniers 4) Conspiracy theorists. Q'ANON types 5) Minimally educated-usually just high school a few with maybe a bachelors degree 6) Lower middle class. Interestingly, these are the same types who were drawn to Fascism in Germany and Italy in the 1930s (obviously insert Hitler or Mussolini for Trump in #2, #3 wasn't an issue and #4 no q'anon then but they did have conspiracy theories. In short-its oppositional reactive types who substitute their "faith" (in this case in Trump) for reason or logic.
Last week, I went on a search and rescue, carrying a 200 pound woman on a litter for a mile wearing a mask the whole time... and I have asthma! It was 90 degrees outside and 80% humidity.
And you say you can’t wear one in an air conditioned room for 20 minutes. Bitch, please.
Anyone that thinks these makes are doing anything ask yourself this. Why does the CDC virus teams wear tyvec and hoods and respirators? Anyone that's worn these masks in an environment where the particulate is visible knows just how much gets past them. If that's a good enough mask why doesn't cdc people just wander up to sars and ebola in jeans t shirt and a paper mask? Because they don't do anything! People wearing masks are still getting sick.
But a government with too much power is more dangerous than any virus. Tyrannical governments have killed far more people than any coronavirus.
You're making this political and it's ridiculous. The mask is to prevent a sneeze from spreading. It's not perfect but it's lessening the chance of a spread. I hate saying this but people like you don't learn any way other than the hard way. I hope you or anyone you care about doesn't have to get this virus and die for you to get it.
Because many believe masks don’t do shit and it is just a political statement almost like a “vote for biden” bumper sticker on your face. It also kind of scares people and they get overwhelmed and finally boil over with rage and go crazy like shoot someone or commit assault. A mask helps catch SOME virus particles but since covid has been found to be airborne unless you are wearing a professional respirator you are expelling covid from the non air tight regions of the mask as well as inhaling it in. So there is some truth to saying masks don't do shit. It is also creating pollution where people discard cheap pointless surgical masks and gloves on the ground where animals can get injured. Also note that most medical professionals discouraged the use of masks for the general public early on has the science really changed all that much or are they just letting this security blanket have a pass to make people feel better?
Trump's followers do anything trump says. And Trump doesn't wear a mask. There. I'm just over it by now. 2020 and possibly 2021 and on will be shit. My senior year will be trash as well yayyy *rolls eyes*
Obviously though his refusal to wear a mask is the root of all the political non mask wearing carry on. It’s politics not health... imagine telling your surgeon to not wear a mask in an operating theatre because political rights... blah blah and so on.
I agree and disagree. Yes trump is feeding into the politicization of masks by not wearing one as often. But I don’t see him as the root, trump is a counterpuncher.
The Chinese Virus has had buzzwords created by the press or democrats seemingly every month: ventilators, PPE, testing, schools opening, masks. The strategy is clear. Dumb down a complex issue to prove how incompetent trump is in handling it. Each of those buzzwords rose to breaking news status on CNN and they were repeated hundreds of times a day. The Biden campaign will use the Chinese Virus and those simple buzz words to prove that Biden would have solved these simple issues better.
I predict the next buzzword will be therapeutics or vaccines next month and the big political fight will be democrats insisting they be free and that minorities are first in line while the republicans prefer a low cost and the military handles the logistics.
Of course they want low costs. If they wanted people to actually pay full price for the vaccines it would be political suicide. No, they want some $$ for the cure, don’t want it to be 100% free. Most people can afford some $$.
There's a psychological issue that was brought up through testing of POWs (think it was Vietnam without looking it up). Basically you started small, write down the sentence "America is not a perfect country" seems like an ok thing to do even if you think that America is the best country it would be silly to say it's perfect. From there little increments are added and you have the frog on the stove idea. That's what people believe, that the mask is the equivalent of slowly turning up the heat.
I'm not one of those that are refusing to wear a mask but I also don't think that it has a significant affect on infection rates. I think the masks are just being used for political gains "look we're doing... something".
From my point of view, there's enough evidence to suggest that Corona virus cannot be filtered by your everyday mask. so somebody telling you to do something that's ineffective, for the sake of everyone else's feelings, is stupid.
I contend that Corona virus may be spread worse by people who wear masks and other protective gear due to their false sense of security! they do not sneeze into their elbow because they're wearing a mask, they do not wash their hands or use sanitizer because they're wearing gloves.
Until they get it, someone they love or just know. They don't believe it.
Peoo say it makes them short of breath. Umm not that I've noticed but, if it's hot, you're experiencing anxiety, you're unfit, I can see how this may feel restrictive.
Wear it don't wear it. I can't worry about others anymore, because it only works to upset others if Ifollow the advice and they don't. So long as they're 2 metres regardless of Circumstances I have to hope I'll be safe.
With how some are wearing them, and not wearing them, or jut wearing 'Bandannas' or cotton scarfs, does it really matter? Statistically, you are less than likely to cross paths with 1 person, infected, with every 50! And that is just a 'GUESS'!! Most that are infected, and "SICK" are home, and not out, so maybe more like 1 in 75, and that one, doesn't know they are infected, and MAYBE contagious?

I just finished getting Jaw Surgery, and my whole face is swollen. I can already barely breathe through my nose, and my mouth is now wired shut. I’d most likely suffocate if I had to wear it more than a couple of minutes. They didn’t even make me wear it at the hospital recovering. I’ve gotten yelled at by people at the grocery store, and actually kicked out. People are rude. I’m medically cleared, and people don’t listen to reason. I understand the paranoia, but I can’t tell the anxiety that comes when you’re already malnourished eating out of a straw and have to go hungry because people won’t allow you to buy food.

I accept your apology

Masks don't do anything, Sweden and South Dakota prove this.
Mask proponents take sanitary advice from people who tell you to sneeze into your elbow and then to bump elbows as a greeting.
It's that we pay attention and don't let fear control us.
From my point of view, there's enough evidence to suggest that Corona virus cannot be filtered by your everyday mask. so somebody telling you to do something that's ineffective, for the sake of everyone else's feelings, is stupid.
I contend that Corona virus may be spread worse by people who wear masks and other protective gear due to their false sense of security! they do not sneeze into their elbow because they're wearing a mask, they do not wash their hands or use sanitizer because they're wearing gloves.
