Are you Pro-mask or Anti-mask?

[Nave]

I don't mind if you don't want to wear masks as long as you avoid public spaces. but holding a rally flouting your ignorance is just counter-productive.

That’s what I was saying. Anywhere there’s a chance to be within 6 feet.

Its really unfortunate what social media has done to common sense. For too many people everything is an us-them, my narrative-your narrative, everything is political fight.

 

Our best available health advice isn't us-them, its the best knowledge we have to date. Its hard to believe that some of us have been conditioned to doubt it, when its evidence-based reasoning that we can all look up and understand. 

 

And yes, for once-in-a-century health crisis, some things should be mandated, like wearing a mask. Its literally the least you can do. 

[Heretic]

I need a definition of what you mean by "Pro" and "Anti".


I follow whatever rules are set in place by businesses and the Health departments.

I’m pro seatbelts. The science is overwhelming - - they help save lives.

 

If you’re in the front seat and choose not to wear a seatbelt, that’s your choice. If something happens to you, it’s on you, and it will likely only affect you. But if you’re in the back seat and not wearing your seatbelt, with someone in front of you, then you’re a selfish jerk. Because you’re more likely to injure/kill someone else because of your perceived choice.

 

Multiply that last part by however many people you might infect with the tiny spit particles constantly flying out of your nose and mouth as you breathe and talk (let alone cough or sneeze), from the disease you may already have but display no symptoms of...

 

Masks prevent a lot of that - the science is overwhelming. So if you’re anti-mask, you’re anti-science, anti-caring, anti-social-responsibility, and anti-decency.

[ChuckNORRIS4Cup]

Definitely pro mask in any closed space. In open space like walking down the street I believe it should be your choice, and it's up to you to keep your distance from people, but if you're going to be in a space where you can't social distance yourself from others then you should be wearing a mask.

Anybody who thinks every health official in the world is in on a conspiracy together is an idiot.

 

Anybody who refuses to do something minor to prevent others in their community, workplace, family from getting sick and potentially dying is an selfish idiot and doesn't deserve the freedoms our forefathers fought for.

What if you have a medical reason for not wearing a mask?

How about smoking in a public place? I come from a generation where most adults smoked. Science proved the harm and now the practice is dying, so to speak. We have never seen something like Covid, not in my life time anyway. When I was a kid many of us feared the inoculation needle at school  but no one was protesting the science behind having the shot. Mind you back then most people didn't question authority. I suspect masks will become part of our life for some time into the future.

I'm not pro mask or anti mask........I'm pro not heading for a full shutdown.  Im pro not saying  goodbye to my grandmother or my parents on FaceTime as they die alone.  I'm pro "there are experts who know a lot more than I do"

i am definitely pro mask, and i guess i am being selfish cause i am so dam tired  of having to stay in and not seeing my family and watching anti maskers being dumb enough to protest during this pandemic, just wear a mask and lets get this virus over with.

Those reasons are pretty few and far between but people love it as a convenient excuse.

easy, you wear a clear plexiglass shield instead. This isn't rocket surgery, there are simple solitons for the small % that can't wear a cloth mask.

Just wait until people start getting the Vaccine, then there will be more people not wearing masks and more arguments and fights on wearing and not wearing a mask.

 

It's just going to get worse, unless the government gives you something to maybe wear or a card stating you have been vaccinated, but if the government doesn't it could get ugly next year, because anti maskers will try and use this as well even if they haven't been vaccinated.

What do people define as "mandatory" versus "voluntary"? Does requiring someone to wear a mask while moving throughout a coffee shop constitute a mandatory order? To me, it doesn't, because a person is under no obligation/requirement to enter that place in the beginning, and so they are voluntary to enter that place and in doing to agree to the rules stipulated.

Face shield?

The only issue I could see for not wearing one of those would be psychological I would think? as nothing is touching your face. Like wearing a visor.

Exactly - but don't call them anti science/etc 

 

One of the ladies in our Poultry club has a breathing disorder and can't wear a mask - but a shield works for her.

It all depends on what you mean by pro-mask or anti-mask.  

 

I 100% do not support mandated mask usage.... but 100% voluntary.  

I firmly support how the Japanese handle things when they get sick.... be considerate enough to wear a mask.  

 

I am pro-responsibility.  

Sadly, not everyone is or voluntary would work.

[BoKnows]

Wearing a mask isn't bad.  It's actually nice in the cold weather.  The only time I had trouble breathing with a mask on was when I was deadlifting.  There are no excuses why an able-bodied individual shouldn't wear a mask.
