What are your views on masks? Will you still wear a mask in public if it's not required?

Some generations are called to fight and die in war, other generations are expected to make terrible sacrifices to ensure the survival of their people.

This generation was asked to put on a mask while going to tesco and not got to the beech for a couple of weeks but managed to fuck up it.

Where I have to wear a mask then yeah I do. But as soon as i am out of the place it comes of.

That's under the assumption that the Kung-Flu was something that made the bubonic plague look like a cold.

Sure, there was an element of mystery surrounding it at first (no thanks to the incompetence of the CCP and the WHO), but by and large it's proven to be about as bad as a nasty flu. Not trying to downplay how bad a flu can be, but we never forced everything to shutdown for months in the past whenever a new strain showed up, so why is this time so different?

At this point, I'm more scared that this heavy handed approach will be taken whenever a new flu season occurs.

I can't help but feel this is only being made mandatory because they realized that people are fucking disgusting even in the face of health concerns and act like literal children when asked to stand further apart from people that aren't even part of their travelling group.

I'll wear masks when my work allows me to use the mask+armor of the wolf brigade from Jin-roh.

I'd expect something a lot more impressive than the 3 month lockdown and wearing mask in tesco the face of the black death with its 50% mortality rate.

Objecting to lockdown is one thing, getting upset you shouldnt go to the beech and have to wear a mask in the shop is quite another.

 

[Junkail]

Well, it depends on where you live. I live in an area full of old people, close to a city heavily affected by the virus, so it's probably more important to wear one than if I'd live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.

 

[MerriedxReldnahc]

I have to wear a mask in order to keep volunteering where I do, and I don't mind having to do it. Theres a lot of older people who also volunteer there and even if the 'rona isn't as bad as people make it sound, I wouldn't want to get someone's grandma sick. I don't care if I get it becasue I'm healthy and fit enough that it wouldn't be terrible to deal with. I just don't want to get other people sick cause then I'd feel like an asshole. I know that in some places in the world wearing facemasks while sick is more common than here in Burgerland, I think we have a "person is in a mask, they're plagued!" mindset. I would think that post-Rona, that might change and people would be more willing to wear a mask if they aren't feeling well. (And people might wash their hands more, god willing!)

My state just initiated a masks everywhere rule, but one exception is if you're out excercising. Good, becasue I can't run in any of my masks. They're either too tight or loose enough that they're slipping down. The looser masks I can skateboard in becasue my helmet holds it on better and I don't find it as hard to breathe in. So basically I haven't been wearing one while running so I wouldn't judge people for doing the same while working out.

My town is so crowded with tourists at the beach, oh my god. And most of the tourists are coming from an inland area that has some of the highest case numbers in the state. My area is a tourist trap so we're destined to have this happen unfortunatly.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

This mask thing is still disturbing to me. It seems like something out of a Twilight Zone episode, or some cult thing.

I still think all this coronapanic is an overreaction and one big Current Year circus* - I only wear a face covering if required.

*(like exaggerating the number of cases and deaths)

 

[Kataomoi00]

I’d only stop wearing them in public if I was absolutely sure that other people will be safe. Living in a pretty rural place, the masks are “required” for people going out to public businesses, but there’s really no way to enforce these procedures. I’ve seen tons of people without masks out in public. People have really politicized the issue, which I don’t get because at worst it’s just a temporary inconvenience. I can’t tell them what to do, or change their beliefs, but I’m not risking getting myself and loved ones sick.

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

I think some of this mix is political in nature with non-maskers saying "muh freedoms" and maskers saying "muh science,"

The pro-maskers don't even have science on their side since the amount of deaths from the virus is astronomically low ( even lower since they'll call a death Corona related even if it isn't) that wearing a mask to stop the spread isn't even justifiable.

If you see someone wearing a mask when they're driving their car or simply walking outside, it is you're duty to shame them and make them feel like an idiot.

 

[The Big O]

I don't wear them outdoors or at work (you try doing construction labor of any kind in 85+ degree Fahrenheit temps with a mask on for more than a few minutes.) Only to stores and businesses because I'm stuck in sheep-flock New England and our government are full of tyrant Democrats. Believe me, I would love more than anything than to tear this shit off my face, throw it to the ground, and stomp on it by now, but my patience continues... for now.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

I've worn a mask once, just to get my hair cut. The experience was bullshit and I would not repeat it. The hair cut was pretty good though.

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure masks are nothing more than theater for the "Do something!" crowd and the Karenwaffen and I don't actually care if they catch the Rona, so no, if it's not required I won't wear the mask. I don't even wear it where it is technically required because no one is enforcing it.

I don't hold it against anyone who has to wear one though because of work or health, only those who don't.

I have some bad news. You might need to sit down for this. Ready?

There is no such thing as absolute safety. I really hope you like wearing that mask because it's going to be a while if you set a goal like that.

 

[TFT-A9]

Fucking got over 100 degrees today, and yeah, I had to wear a mask to do some shit out in that heat. Fuck this, and fuck you if you're scared of the Kung Flu. Are you elderly or immunocompromised? No? Then shut the fuck up when I pull it down to mop all the goddamn sweat off my lower face and take a swig of water and a drag off my cigarette, you absolute fucking cockwaffle.

Oh, yeah, and our company has been placed under some kind of obligation to pester people, to make sure they know there's a mask order in effect. I already got bitched out by some asshole who said he'd take his business elsewhere (over a fucking reminder that we HAVE to do or we get royally fucked) and I was ready to fucking cold-cock him right there and then. Also, good luck, shitheel, EVERY BUSINESS IN THE CITY has to do this now. It's not even a "mask or GTFO" situation, we just have to politely inform you of the situation. You can still buy your whatever, all you have to do is shut up and nod your damned head.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

I don't spend longer than 45 minutes in a store so it's never bothered me. Although tbh I prefer mask usage because at least I have less chance of getting a chronic Bronchitis flare up. I was already steering clear of coughing people for that reason by itself, so there's not much of a change.

 

[millais]

The p100 and other respirators and masks with a "cool flow valve" or whatever it's called, I find are pretty good at coping with the hot summer air. I'm wearing the p100 when working outdoors, and until I injured my knee, I was biking 20+ miles a day in the heat while wearing the p100 plus goggles. I think they are designed with laborious construction work in mind, so it's reasonably comfortable even when the temperature and humidity are high.

Dont tell him about the chemicals baths or that that theres beneficial bacteria the bodie uses

I'd seriously consider getting a pack of those or maybe something else that didn't feel like someone was trying to fucking smother me if I thought for a second they still had the fuckers in stock anywhere for a reasonable price.

 

[The Pink Panther]

I only wear em when I go to the store or an institution because it is legally mandated. Otherwise, I take that shit off when I'm outside because I really really dont care. Often if I don't see the benefactors for me personally, I won't do something that is "recommended". It's selfish, but I'm an "every man for himself" type guy.

So come at me, mask wearers with your "OH YOU'LL REALLY ENJOY THE VENTILIATOR" shit. Yeah, right. Lmao. Fuck off.
