I live in New Zealand where COVID is not running rampant in the community so masks are not needed in most settings with some exceptions but if COVID were to appear in the community uncontrolled then I would wear a mask and have some ready if ever needed
I don't wear a mask because I'm not scientifically literate and I don't give two fucks about anybody but myself. Also, I hate myself.
j/k I totally wear a mask
Also, I wish I could reply to the dude arguing with the OP about microwaves. The shit he's saying is pretty brain dead.
I wear a mask. Of course I do.
Wearing a mask is not a prefect form of protection against spreading CoVid but it is proven to reduce spread and save lives, and it's NOT THAT FUCKING HARD TO DO. What kind of moron wouldn't wear a mask?
I consider myself a right-leaning moderate and it embarrasses the fuck out of me that there are so many fucking idiots on the right who won't wear a mask for political reason.
Fucking morons!
Of course I dislike wearing mask but I am doing it as a precaution and because of covid-19. The moment an effective vaccine is available, I would stop wearing masks but will continue washing my hands and face periodically.
Just reading these replays I never knew how stupid and careless they are I'm starting to believe people can't make choices themselves, this proves it people were told 20% of the world might die and they moans over a mask. I think we have given up our freedom, covid just proves when some better virus starts we can't keep outhers life's in mind. Basically it's a reason for anouther fashist war.
I wear a mask and social distance. You reduce your risk of catching Covid and you reduce the risk of spreading Covid this way. I knew this half a century ago and I know it now. I also wear a mask during Flu season. It just makes sense.
Wearing a mask sucks, but you can complain about it if your dead, so... better safe than sorry is my approach. If im ever out in public I always mask up.
Masks are only effective under certain circumstances, and are not always a wise policy. They are useful for people who are in closed, crowded spaces (like shops), but wearing a mask whilst going for a walk where there is no one for kilometres around, or wearing one whilst alone in your car, is just plain stupid.
We don't have a choice here. We'll be fined/won't be able to work.
Not too long ago the experts were telling us with 100% confidence that we didn't need to stop flights or seal borders, or that covid could only spread on surfaces, or that it healthy people did not need to wear masks, or covid could not spread human to human.
Now they expect us to religiously wear masks after all the lies they gave us so far?
it wasn't lies it was lack of information about a very new virus that was unlike what came before it. People were scared so naturally the doctors came out with what little information they knew at the time, we couldn't yet definitively say whether or not covid was spread person to person or if it was actually a big deal. At the time when they said we don't have to wear masks they whole heartedly meant it based on the facts they had, now that we have more information they now believe masks are a better option than nothing.
It's almost like new evidence demands we change tack because scientific evidence is hardly ever static
@zollo so everyone was so scared that all the experts told us stopping flights or trying to keep the virus out was not needed?
2019 was one of the worst flu seasons in history, 2020 has less than 20k cases?
the director of the cdc IN A PRESS CONFERENCE said masks do not prevent you from being infected, it only stops you from spreading while asymptomatic.
she also said that people that die while having covid are marked as a covid death (car crash with covid=covid death)
I'll wear a mask becuase they are rather comfortable but nobody can force me.
I do wear a mask to protect others, you, and myself.
Man, that's scary. 30% of people days they didn't wear masks. That's scary.
when i see somebody with out a mask i think gezzs what are they thinking , how can you be that uninformed or maybe the talk radio brain washed them one of those.
Sheep
The mem for option F is on point. I've literally replied to a youtube comment thread with all the conspiracy nuts with something I made up and they agreed with me and said they'd heard that as well... total idiots.
1) Masks are ineffective at preventing the spread of respiratory viruses
2) There's no need to mask healthy people (or asymptomatic people)
3) Mass masking is psychologically damaging to our society.
4) I've had covid so there's 0 chance I'm spreading it to anyone.
Finally someone who isn't a brainwashed sheep
They aren't required right now but I would wear them whenever and wherever they are required
There have been hundreds of studies showing that your cloth face mask is useless. Every one likes to say "but doctors wear masks", yes they do, they wear medical grade masks for short periods of time, and throw them away. You wearing the same bandana day in and day out is USELESS. Or any bandana for that matter.
I only wear one inside buildings with other people present, to keep others from freaking out. But as soon as I discover that I'm the only one there, I take the stupid thing off.

I wear a mask because I know that I can be a carrier & never know & give it to someone
You really can’t. The hype around asymptomatic carriers is nonsense.
It’s honestly not.. I work in the medical & science field and any virus not just COVID can store in a person body in what is called a host cell, if that host cell isn’t viable for that virus to enter a cell & multiply hence a person becoming sick & symptomatic then the virus can remain dormant until it is able to attach to another cell that is viable hence someone spreading germs through a cough or sneeze then another person inhaling the spores from the air
It honestly is. As Fauci said, asymptomatic carriers have never been drivers of a pandemic. I trust him over a 20 year old who “works in the medical and science field”
@joeldalton Dr Fauci also told people to wear a mask @got147 provided a link
Lol, after he told people not to. So you believe SCIENCE only when it agrees with your feelings.
@joeldalton Science changes, new truths are discovered. You're the one who agrees with Dr. Fauci only when it agrees with your feelings, he's telling people to wear a mask
Then you explain to me exactly what changed to make “science change”. Because the transmission method of the virus didn’t change. Mask technology didn’t change. Every study up to this spring has stated that masks are ineffective.
@joeldalton My country went into lockdown in march, masks weren't mandatory because we were supposed to stay in and the virus wasn't supposed to spread. People didn't stay at home and that's when masks became mandatory. The effectiveness of masks was discussed and everyone agreed that they're only effective if everybody wears them and keeps their distance. I don't know about your country, that's how it happened in mine 🤷🏼♀️
What a dumb conclusion for your country to come to. There’s 0 reason for healthy people to wear masks.
