I just want to be a normal person. We didn't wear masks for MERS, SARS, Avian, Swine, or 2018 flu. WuFlu is 99% survivable. It's a manufactured Dem Panic and I don't want to LARP it. It's play pretend to wear the mask.
Yup, there was also way worse pandemics than this one. I'll bet when the Spanish Flu was around people wish they were lucky enough to have widespread availability of simple things that can reduce infection rates, like sanitizer and masks.
You still aren't addressing the point i've been trying to make this whole time. Wearing a mask isn't about YOU, Karen, it's about keeping people around you from potentially getting sick if you are infected and spreading it without knowing.
You could keep someone from getting sick by simply wearing a mask during that 30 min shopping trip. But YOU don't care, you only care that you will be mildly uncomfortable during that time.
Do i support the lockdown, the forced measures? Hell no. Do I support simple, common sense measures to stop the spread of a pathogen? Yes. Wash your hands. If in a crowded space, wear a mask. We don't need government to force that on us. We, however, should take those simple steps if not for ourselves, for the people around us. Do you have a problem with rubbing alcohol on your hands to stop the spread of the virus? If not, then why is wearing a mask for a few minutes such an issue for you?
We just do not agree on MY personal responsibility for other people's safety. The proposed threat is 99% survivable but I'm suppose to change my life? No thanks! :) Some doctors also think masks are just meaningless virtue signaling. I'm not alone in my thinking. But I FULLY SUPPORT your right to wear a mask, where it is allowed by law. :)
Linking Chinese Health Organization and Dr. Oz isn't very compelling. Also, those are looking at wearing a mask to not be infected, not my argument which is wearing it if infected makes you spread it less.
Memorial Day Weekend Ribs were delicious. We made a nice sangria. Spent the evening with family/friends, and fed the neighbors dog a bone (or two).
I don't think you are a bad person. I just think we are very different people. And that is ok! No one around me wears a mask. We live in Duck Dynasty land. Maybe that is different from where you live. We don't think warm moist cotton on your face stops viruses in or out.
We just do the boring everyday basics. Wash your hands. Spend time in the sun. Take care of your immune system. Eat good veggies. When in doubt Lysol or Bleach it. And work hard!
Same stuff normal people have always done to live through rhino viruses, corona viruses and influenza. :)
Sounds like a nice night. I made my kids spaghetti...wife had to work. She works for Target, they gave her a hazard pay raise at the start of all this which put her income equalling mine...as a nurse. When daycares and schools closed, then mother in law said she wanted to quarantine and we were relying on her for a lot of watching the kids, i decided i'd be a stay at home dad until i found a higher paying job.
Anyway, https://masksnow.org/million-healthcare-workers-letter/ to continue the topic. It's not political to wear a mask right now. And i'm not going to keep harping on it. Like everyone on here, we want to MAGA. It's about not letting big government steal our freedoms, reopen the country, and try to keep in mind there is a pandemic going around and we don't want lives being lost, or even just people getting ill, when it can be avoided.
I want people to get together with their family and BBQ this weekend, and I want us all to be as reasonably safe and healthy while doing it.

Ribs are done!

Enjoy the ribs, MAGA.
