You mean this guy?

*cringe*

Now everybody is intent on making the face mask into a physical badge of tribal identity, and wearing the mask is now about publicly distinguishing the virtuous, even though it does nothing in casual public settings. Fuck sakes. Just to prove a point to my buddy Nick at work today, I wore a mask made of cheese-cloth into Whole Foods (because you can't go in otherwise in Greenville), and nobody said fuck all. It was worthless, but I was nonetheless virtuous.

Why cheesecloth? That's what we use to strain slightly contaminated hydro oil, so I have a ton of it.

Yeah, and I *cringe* when I see millions of Americans refusing to do a simple act that can probably reduce the spread. We just disagree on this, man.

And just for the record— yeah, I can totally see your point about how wearing a mask while trying to lift heavy equipment would be just awful. (Wish there was any way to create more physical distance away from your work area?) So yes, in certain specific instances, I totally understand why wearing a mask doesn’t make much sense (and is also a gigantic pain in the butt.)

And I know you keep citing that one article about mask ineffectiveness, but as u know there are dozens and dozens of other medical reports which support the effectiveness of widespread mask use.

Just last week, the head of the USA Center for Disease Control, Dr.
Robert Redfield, said the following: “If we could get everybody to wear a mask right now, I really think in the next four, six, eight weeks, we could bring this epidemic under control.”

So who should I trust more, the head of USA CDC, or my fellow Ram fan -X- from ROD? I’ll go with the guy whose entire career has been devoted to studying disease containment.

As always, nothing personal, just agree to disagree, cheers

Yeah that video posted by 1328 about summed it up. Do NOT mess with Mickey...

Smart move. I did the same thing when they all (including Fauci - e.g., the infectious disease god) said masks were useless and we’re all I’ll-informed serfs for buying them. Lots of them still do, but they’re not your guy, so you win I suppose.

Tomorrow.

That’s when I’ll go ahead and lay it all out and give you more than just the simplistic contrarian view you think I hold in the name of rebellion or some such thing. The whole enchilada - with source sauce. So have a light breakfast, yeah? And try not to die in the interim.

Recent poll said that 11% of Americans still do not wear masks in public. That’s a big improvement from a poll back in April, when 31% of Americans would not.

So yeah, it is literally true that millions of Americans still refuse to wear masks in public.

Yeah as most of you know i work with the public. I see roughly 1,200 customers a day in my building, and i'm here to tell you that here in the AZ metropolitan hotbed of irresponsible anti maskers that easily 98% of those people are masked up. I see the same away from work.

People need to turn off the news media.

Right now I choose to wear masks, but it won't be forever like some seem to want. I chose to wear a mask at the dinky job that I do part time, and will until I have had enough. Some people are saying this is the new normal. Fuck that.

Ran into a guy while working today here in Reno with a mask that said "This mask is as useless as our Governor". Offered to buy him a drink but they closed the bars

I do not believe you hold a “simplistic contrarian view.”

That’s precisely why I find this thread so aggravating....because
so many posters in this thread are smart, articulate, well read, and open to the give and take of ideas.

Reality check for those that think kids can't get the virus. Over 216,000 kids 17 and younger have gotten it to date and that figure is growing. If you figure 1% of them die then we are talking about well over 2,100 of them will die. What price is acceptable? To me, all of it is unacceptable because most of it is preventable. So people are dying because some people don't want to be inconvenienced or feel their personal liberties are being taken away by simply wearing a mask? Are you kidding me?

I saw a mask with that message and almost bought it!

Over 2000 children die every year in car crashes. Driving is a privilege, so we could solve all of those preventable deaths by just taking the bus? Are you kidding me?

Well, o’ course I didn’t mean YOU, @Loyal, ya knuckle-draggin’ degenerate!

Believe it or not, none of us get out of this life alive. Accidents happen, diseases come from seemingly from nowhere, wars happen. We can't live our lives afraid. Get Covid and deal with the symptoms if you can and don't guilt trip people that are living as they always have. Stay at home if you are worried so much.

You said that you see millions not wearing masks.
No, you don’t.
You “cringe” because an article that is nearly a month old, which polled only 579 people Says what now?
Thats precisely the problem. That poll merely said 10% of the 579 polled thought people weren’t wearing masks in public.
58 people is not “millions”
And what’s laughable is that the actual poll cams from an article which was titled:
Americans increasingly cautious as coronavirus cases surge
