Masks are nonsense. They don’t work. They are a placebo to stop the chicken littles from screeching.

Would you rather someone with Covid-19 beside you sneezes with a mask on or a mask off?

Where's all the outrage with the other measures like distancing, hand washing? Why masks?

I would have thought that was obvious - it's by far the most visible and easily identifiable. You're either wearing a mask or you're not.

How do you know people aren't washing their hands? Do you follow them into the toilets?

Do you measure the distance between people on the street?

So says the person who doesn't know the difference between "Never have" and "Never was".

Maybe the people wearing the masks outdoors or in their cars are doing so because they're moving between shops and don't want to be handling their mask for the few minutes in between.

Says the person that can speak fluently four languages. I can afford to be wrong. Go to a comment section on Facebook, many people don't even speak one language (the one originating in a neighbouring country).

maybe, maybe not.. Maybe they are just stupid? Who knows, I'll ask somebody next time. "Hey sir, sorry to bother you.. are you walking to a shop or what's the reason you're wearing that face mask... oh, ok.. so you're stupid ... cool, that's all I wanted to know... it's for Boards.."

btw. what happened to those gloves people used to wear? Is that not a thing anymore? Idiots.

As someone who thinks masks are useless I do this sometimes cos im going to different shops and cant be arsed taking it off and on again. Ill somtimes drive between shops with it on.

To the anti maskers that say masks aren't in the least effective.

Put one on, then try to blow out a candle.

Great scientific proof there

I’d rather nobody wore masks so I’ll go with option b. Hopefully I won’t get common side effects such as feeling absolutely fine.,

I'd rather they sneezed into a tissue than into a mask

Tork

I see. So all of this boils down to you believing that you'll be absolutely fine if you happen to catch Covid. I can understand why you'd be annoyed that everyone else is trying to do the right thing and protect others who aren't so robustly youthful and healthy.

That's assuming they have a tissue on them or have time to take it out before they do. Or that they're considerate enough to try and do something about it in time. Some people happily cough and sneeze straight into the air all the time.

But you could say the same about masks as some people do not wear them

Why would you rather nobody wore masks? Can you explain the logic behind your reasoning?

And who is 'nobody?' - Joe Public? Office workers? Service industry? Health care workers?

GT89 wrote: »

And why exactly would you want them to sneeze into a tissue? To 'catch' certain particles, perhaps?

You do know what a mask is for, right?

I wonder do anti maskers and anti vaxxers turn down other medical treatments.

If it's for the greater good then then yeah I'd say they do turn them down, unless they can see a direct benefit for themselves. They are usually too selfish in first instance, and too thick to see that they might even benefit in the long run.

Given previous posts from this particular character I wouldn`t be too sure about that.

I know my point is a mask is unessecary as a tissje wojld more than suffice. Masks are extremely uncomfortable, cause skin irritation if worn for long periods of time and are a barrier to communication.

Sneesing into a tissue has been the advice for years to stop the spread of colds/flus. Covid is transmitted in the same manner yet masks are now the advice. Why weren't masks been worn during flu season? It's hardly ground breaking new research.

A good quality mask will not cause skin irritation and is not uncomfortable.

But not wearing one is more comfortable. Anyway comfort is subjective if some people want to wear them I don't have a problem I just have an issue with having to wear one. It's a personal choice.

Increasing evidence now suggests that wearing a mask protects the wearer from covid. This gives more of a reason for masks not to be mandatory as I shouldn't have to protect myself if I don't want to.

Why wouldn't you want to protect yourself though? Seems a little childish.

What sort of an idiot doesnt want to protect themselves?. In all seriousness people like you should be refused medial care if/when you do catch the virus

It's like playing jeopardy.

The question was "why are masks mandatory".

I should be allowed put myself at risk if I so happen to wish. Tbh I couldn't care less about getting covid as I'm healthy and so are my family

No argument, just find a way to do it where you're not putting anyone else at risk.

Because I find a mask uncomfortable and I want immunity to it aswell.

If others are wearing their masks they are safe surely?

And as you stated previously you don`t care about protecting the vulnerable. So by that logic if you or anyone close to you does get sick from contracting Covid then you won`t be too concerned about either yourself or them receiving medical treatment. Right?
