    This series of questions certainly seems logical to me:

    Businesses are beginning to reopen here in Canada and facemasks are often required to be worn by the workers.

    I really don't know for sure if they work or not... I've heard evidence that they do and other evidence that they don't????

    Conservative Barbie, just wear the mask. Otherwise, you aren't going to get into most places in the US. However, if you choose not to wear one I think you have should have to follow this mandate: If you didn't wear a mask at all because of reason A,B,C (that probably aren't based in reality) then you should give up your right to get healthcare. Simple as that, call the idiot mandate. If you go to a corona party, you should definitely stay home and thoughts and prayers.

    I got a good supply of masks, 5-mil. nitrile gloves, and Lysol spray BEFORE everybody else did, because as early as the end of January, I could see what was going to happen.

    Anyway, I reuse my three-layer paper masks by rotating several of them and spraying each one of them with Lysol spray disinfectant after use. So far, thank God, I haven't caught anything... yet. By rotating them so that I wear one of them about every third or fourth day, the Lysol has killed whatever might have gotten on the mask (front and back), and the mask is perfectly dry by then.

    Oh, here's my pet piss-off about masks -- these fugging morons who put a mask on, but have their noses sticking totally out of the top of the mask. It's hard to believe that ANYBODY is that damned STOOPID, but, yes, there are lots of them.

    Another thing I've observed (and cannot think of any reason for this at all), is that blacks rarely wear masks at all -- anywhere. I'm not being snotty toward negroes... it really is something I've noticed, everywhere I see them. :confusion: If I had 'negro-nostrils', I'd cover 'em up!

    All placebos work to some extent.
    Still much better than lockdowns.
    But i think if governments mandate them then they should supply them for free.

    We all should follow the example of the top expert in the country, Dr Fauci:

    Do you know who those other two people are? I was under the impression that we don't have to wear masks around people within our own household as we are already exposed to them. So, I guess this is telling if he isn't directly living with either of those people.

    If by me wearing a mask possibly saves one person from being infected it's worth it.

    If lowering the maximum speed limit to 30 mph saved one person from a deadly auto accident it's worth it. You agree, don't you?

    Covering your mouth when you cough has never been a point of contrition for anyone over the age of 3. How automating the process became a hot button issue I'll never wrap my head around.

    The woman is his wife. The man is a close friend. He had been tested negative the day before, can be seen wearing his mask up at other times during the event and he had just been drinking water, the bottle is visible in front of him, and they were outdoors.

    When you go out the government requires that you wear pants. Does it provide you free pants? Do you feel oppressed because you can't go into Walmart butt naked? Can you walk around in your home butt naked? Why is this even an issue? This isn't a personal freedom issue this is a community health one.

    I have been thinking more along the lines of.....
    ten to twenty percent of citizens investing in boosting our immune systems through anti-inflammatories...... (I do believe that facemasks are somewhat helpful and I do wear them at work and when we go to stores).
