Will you still use face masks even after this virus is no longer here?

[XYZpdq]

I was glad in general to go full crazy ocd germaphobe faggot in public and still look like less of a weirdo than a lot of people.
Also biking but not having to suck lawn and dirt particles down my lungs was nice. And it gives me a chance to wear a bandanna with skulls that are wearing bandannas on it.

 

[Tomboy Respecter]

No, I like to be able to breathe normally and I feel like having your face covered in polite society is weird, antisocial behavior. All of this batflu bullshit is starting to grate on me.

There's an argument to be made that all the shit done in the name of the bat flu that were meant to be temporary measures (surgical face masks, social distancing, etc.) is basically a ploy to further socially atomize the already fragile social bonds that exist in the West due to our hyperindividualistic consumer culture. That's why you see a lot of politicians and media types pushing for an extension on these measures, since it is easy to overcome an individual compared to a group of like-minded individuals in the long run and if this is pushed for much longer people will become used to this new socially isolated hell. There's also the "Orange man bad for destroying the economy despite the fact he wanted to open it in May" thing too, but that does make a lot of sense somehow.

My mom made them for me, so yes, i have to...

 

[raspberry mocha]

Maybe if they come in bright neon colors and I can sync them with my iPhone. The normalization of face masks is gonna create a whole new crop of "LifeWtihCOVID" idiots and make the munchie thread great again.

 

[Niggernerd]

Masks are for cowards. I keep the virus away with cigarette smoke.
Unless it's the one my mom made me

It's not a terrible argument, either. I'm more of the opinion that people have become slothful, complacent and vain of our own free will, and the opportunists that comprise the political, media and business sectors are ad-hoc exploiting our weaknesses. This is the future we chose; now we get to live (or die) with the consequences.

I already made it a habit since Swine flu.

So nobody can smell my breath.

I have found that I should clean my mouth before putting on my p100 because if I accidentally exhale through my mouth, the odor gets trapped on my side of the mask and I have to breathe it until it dissipates from the drawing in of fresh air. It's probably only a problem with the masks that have rubber edged seal like p100s, where the only way out for air is through the one way "cool flow" valve that doesn't actually let that much exhalation to pass through

 

[lurk_moar]

Fuck no. I wear mine at work. I don’t wear one grocery shopping because if I get corona, it will most likely be from a patient not a rando at the supermarket.

 

[Antipathy]

I want a gas mask with something like "NOT ENOUGH LIVING TO BURY THE DEAD" written on it in Latin.

Then nobody will ever see my face again.

 

[Coffee Shits]

Be a trendsetter. Take the mask off before it's cool.

 

[FuckedUp]

Be a trendsetter. Take the mask off before it's cool.

I've been visualizing a movie-like scene where people in a public area (like a supermarket) in a place with mandatory masks take off their mask one-by-one as a sign of protest. Feel free to put this in random.txt, but masks (in the current context) are like a symbolic form of submission.

 

[Fuck you and your asspats]

Face coverings are mandatory to go out in public where I live, so I just haven't left. I have some if I need them but I'm not working, and I've just been ordering everything I need online.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Hell no. Breathing with these things on is hell.

 

[a6h51]

I wouldn't. I've noticed before corona-chan that some Asians, particularly South Koreans, Japanese, and Chinese people would wear those type of masks because of the pollution though.
