Can we press assault charges, and if we get sick, manslaughter cases?
My wife is young and in the highest risk category due to significant immuno-suppression, so this feels like a personal threat

I mean, I just don't know anymore.... I feel like I'm on crazy pills when I see shit like this. I can't do the mental hurdles in my head to even remotely begin to relate to this line of thinking.

this is not a sign of your compassion or how much you care for any other human being. this is a sign of control. this is a sign to tell them if you are going to comply.

what's step two in this plan of control after "they" see me wearing a mask? who the fuck is "they"?

Remember when the kids used to be the "rebels without a cause"

Good times.

It blows my mind that this virus has become political. I give America and the world another 50 years before people are destroyed due to their stupidity.

Can't these people get the same treatment as racists in the Internet? surely the places where they work can't be ok with the risk of their employees willingly risking an outbreak.

It's amazing how high of a snowflake level conservatives have. There are actually people that get offended by people who are wearing masks. Just when I thought we can't get any lower.

Can someone actually explain to me why wearing a mask is considered a form of control by right wingers?

Are we against no shirt no shoes no service policies too?

Even if you dont "believe" in corona, I dont understand the whole assault on our civil liberties bullshit.

Mask wearing acknowledges that the virus is both dangerous and preventable. Acknowledging the virus is both of these things flies in the face of what their politicians and media sources and friends have been telling them for months. It also makes people around them (or reacting to their social media) visibly uncomfortable. To avoid cognitive dissonance and to own the libs, they fight back against common sense precaution.

Anything can become politicized once Trump opens his mouth, because their reality moves with his whims.

My friend just quit his job at a convenience store because he told a customer he wouldn't sell him anything unless the customer wore a mask and the customer attacked him.

It's not just Conservatives who feel that this is "too much control". I know people on both sides of the political spectrum who refuse to wear masks and swear that they do absolutely jack shit for the spread of COVID.

It's an American thing. People don't want ANYONE telling them what to do, no matter the source.

Absolute morons who are willing to waste their own money and medical supplies that could go to someone else to proudly display their lack of empathy and rationality.

We can follow this up with the "Burn your corpses challenge" where we cremate everyone that dies after refusing to wear a mask.

Those evil fuckers.






Actually, no. Those surgical masks and many homemade/non-medical ones only prevent the spread to others by catching droplets of spittle that might contain viruses. They do not protect the wearer from breathing in droplets (since the airflow can go in large parts around it), aerosols or getting viruses into his/her eyes. For your own protection you'd need different masks, like a N95/FFP2 or 3 mask.

So this absolute wanker does not endanger herself but OTHERS, as does everyone not wearing a mask.

isn't this false? from everything i've read all masks protect the wearer too, with varying degrees.. surgical masks surprisingly well too. of course it lets SOME viruses through, but not all, because its a physical barrier, and viruses of course are physical objects small as they are, some are sure to bounce off or get stuck. the amount of viruses you are exposed to is crucial, determining how sick you get. a few coronavirus particles that a mask surely lets through might not be enough to get you sick, compared to inhaling all of it..

someone correct me if im wrong, with a link to a good study or two.

for what its worth in our hospital zero workers have gotten ill (from what i've heard/seen), and we all just wear surgical masks.. i've seen absolutely no one in the lung ward or infection ward or ER wear N95 masks or anything better than surgical masks (we ran out of N95/FFP3 before the pandemic even reached us lol, or maybe just the ICU has them).

and people talk about how "unbelievable" zombie outbreak show/movies are, because it wouldn't spread that quickly, the government would have everything on lock, and peeps would take all sorts of precautions, etc, etc. And then a global pandemic happened, and huge swaths people refuse to wear mask/gloves and not get their hair did or go to da beach... LMAO
