Wearing a mask shows solidarity to the Communist Chinese Regime

No, you're really not. What you're saying is that you are placing your own personal political ideology above the best medical advice out there. Politics over science and common sense in other words. Sheesh.
Tell me, Trump scorned facemasks as well. Where is he now again?

Trump never scorned face masks, what he scorns is the virtue signaling the left has turned it all into.

For the most part, the only people trying to twist it into virtue signalling is the "refuse to wear one" mask crowd..they can all bite me.

I DONT WEAR THE DAMN THING IN THE STORE, OR AT WORK TO IMPRESS YOU OR ANYONE ELSE!

I'm just going to be blunt here -- if the pro-maskers had just kept their opinions to themselves, the rest of us anti-maskers wouldn't be responding still with such copious disdain. From my point of view, forcing something by way of stomping all over someone else's right to make a choice IS virtue signalling. If you (general You, not specific You) truly do not give a # about how YOU are perceived and do not like being hassled for your choice, then grant us the same right to not be hassled for ours. We don't care what YOU think either.

If it was really no skin off your nose, you'd have no reason to finger-waggle. Since the pro-maskers keep doing just that, I'm liable to believe it's simply virtue signalling, and of a very pathetic degree.

But is there a study out there that shows health/hospital workers avoiding viruses when they use mask ?

It's amazing that those who wear a mask the most, like doctors, nurses and mask Nazi's still get COVID.

Kenzo why you have to tell the truth? It completely destroys their narrative!

It's also amazing that some people that wear seat belts still die in car crashes. So using some more pre-school grade math, seat belts don't save lives. Way to destroy the narrative.

I don't think seat belt laws is the same as bending over for Communist dress codes. If you want to dress up like a Chinese communist and don't believe inalienable rights, then go live in China.

The fact is, life is not without risk and some of us enjoy a greater level of risk than others.

Yeah, read it just fine. And rolled my eyes along with ya on it. I think Cars was trying to provoke a similar discussion opposite to the claims that anti-maskers are Grandma Killers, but it simply didn't work well -- not enough objective compartmentalization between personal feelings, and irony & sarcasm.

I could be wrong, though, and he might actually buy into it. Hell if I know.

What came first... Mandatory mask wearing with threats of fines etc and Karens screaming you are killing grandma if you do not wear it everywhere, or people pissed that their rights might be being stepped on.

I'll agree both sides can have extremes, but I think the left has the most by far.

We are still here talking about all this even after first Fauci said they do not do much, and then people started to say they do everything it seems while we do know they create a whole bunch of other problems. Some of those is about 95% of the masks people are wearing are basically useless with even the bandana ones that are even worst than nothing. Also things like you touch your face like 10 to 100 times more with a mask on. It can reduce your 02 level even down to 90%. Professionals that need to wear masks take classes on proper PPE wear and use as the rest of us have not done any of that.

Now the only reason Trump got the virus was because he pushes back on the virtue signaling aspects of mask wearing...lol
Don't you love it when someone drives by alone in their car and they look like they are heading in to major surgery all donned up?

Ok, hey, I'm super tired of this just like everyone else, and I don't know what to believe most times. For any info, one can find complete polar opposite info. Very frustrating. I don't want any more shutdown bs, hell, still not fully open here. We are still having 100-150 new infections a day. I promise you, I don't wear the stupid thing to impress, I wear it as a condition of staying employed ..somewhat, and due diligence. I know 2 in their 20s with it right now, young and careless, one guy f'd up pretty bad..made me re think, as I waiver on this whole thing. My employers granny died about a month ago(yes she was old, but healthy) My mom knows 3 who dropped too.

I flew a bit off the handle in my posts on this..I shouldn't.

Wear your wikileaks and Hillary computer distraction masks people.
The fake pcr testing is serious.
Lol

a reply to: Xtrozero
Ok, I hear you, I agree the flow of info from people like Fauci has been contradictory at times..I understand why people question..I do it daily.

Still, wearing one has to be better than not..uggg. I just want this over, asap. I agree driving by yourself in a car with a mask is bonkers, unless it's a cab or uber.

Now the only reason Trump got the virus was because he pushes back on the virtue signaling aspects of mask wearing...lol

So, what did he prove..lol



ETA..sorry for yelling!

So, are you saying masks make no difference at all. Sorry, did not realise you were a Trumper.

The basis of my faith is Christianity. I care for the well-being of others even if it means being a little uncomfortable. Less droplets less risk to others.... pretty simple choice for me to show compassion for fellow humans. No allegiance to Chicoms here.

For what it's worth I can only respect that. Straight up!

Do I think the liberal democrats want socialism in America ?

Damn right I do!

How do I equate mask wearing to democratic socialists in America
aligned with China?

I don't see why not that's number one.

I'm starting to understand

I doubt it.

Suppose this might work also, and with Halloween on the horizon.

a reply to: carsforkids It's my face and I'll wear what I want on it. Meanwhile I'll have a few drinks and if someone gets rearended it's their fault.

I'm sure you do, you know, your thread is an actual virtue signal! Chew on that for awhile!

Oh well that changes everything I guess. Sorry for the post everyone.
My bad.

a reply to: carsforkids

Just a simple update carsforkids, don't get you knickers in a twist.

POTUS has the disease, now a right good few of his aids and staff have also tested positive, seems like the info would be pertinent.

Can't see it changes much for us through, maybe a wee bit for her all the same.

Don't know what you are sorry for unless you gave her the COVID.
