Re: Why wear a mask?

It's clear from responses, even here, that there is a good percentage of people who will not wear masks nor help decrease the spread. So, I am now believing what a friend recently told me, that is that most US citizens will contract Covid. We will not be able to avoid it. Kind of depressing that we couldn't pull together but we are who we are. We absolutely need our freedom to be stubborn, catch the virus and infect others. God Bless America!!

I have to confess I had this virus, not knowing what it was, the first of January. For me it was nothing other than a super bad cold. I was 'under the weather' for about 2 weeks. Other than it being an annoyance, I didn't think much of it. Three other members of my family also came down with it. It was our Christmas present from my s-i-l. I find it interesting that had we all known what it was, it may have been worse. The mind can play dirty tricks for sure. Fyi, I'm 80.

People who can't wear masks shouldn't be walking around now. Or they can wear a face shield. Have people forgotten all their scientific method and statistics courses?

People who won't wear masks are not just jerks, they are potential murderers.

@KarenQVC If that is the way you think, even those wearing masks are potential murderers because masks don’t protect anyone 100%.

I have a story to share. Went to a casino yesterday because they just opened I it sounded like fun. Well, here's the scoop. You have to wear a mask to get in and play. HOWEVER, if you smoke or order a cocktail, you can take your mask off until you finish. WTF? So, I'm sitting at my machine with my mask on while the person about 4 feet away is sitting with theirs off smoking for about 20 minutes and then pulls it back up. I won't be going back but, to me, this is ludicrous. I'm tired of the whole mask thing and will be glad when we can all remove them but this totally gives smokers and drinkers a pass.

OMG!! The Casino Mask! Fireproof, with a small hole to accommodate a cigarette and/or a straw. SHARK TANK here I come!!
