I still refuse to wear a face mask

It's interesting that those who feel the loss of life is worth it to get a haircut are outraged over a building being burned down

I haven't worn a mask yet, and two of my children have gotten the virus, were sick for more than a week, and then recovered. We don't need to fear the virus. If we get it we will poabably get sick and might die, but most people recover. I hate to see the tens of millions of Americans whose lives have been turned completely upside down because of the shutdown caused by the fears of the virus that so many liberals cannot seem to shake.

So you believe that wearing a mask while out in public is getting people 'completely turned upside down' ??

Republicans are so damned selfish, arrogant, self-serving, self absorbed, self obsessed, egotistical and egocentric. Republicans could care less who dies -- as long as it's not themselves. It's sickening to realize how many mindless, reckless and foolish republicans are walking around this country absolutely uncaring about the lives of other Americans.
 
Anti-Maskers and Anti-Vaxxers. Two of the most retarded sects in American culture.

We are supposed to be a free country

Also...I find it ridiculous that ppl wear masks even while walking alone in the great outdoors... Fresh air and sunshine destroy the virus


Enough already

Let's have some common sense ..and freedom

By the way I agree w that saying

There is nothing more uncommon than common sense

That sentence was 'almost' correct I'll give you that much. Yes, you got the part about nobody needs to wear a mask when they're outdoors taking a walk or working outside, that's the correct part. Nobody ever advised wearing a mask outside when walking, gardening, etc. for the simple reason NOBODY ELSE IS AROUND YOU!!

The incorrect part of your sentence; "fresh air and sunshine destroys it" is 100% wrong.

Fresh air has no effect, let's get that part straight --- none, no effect whatsoever.

UV rays kill viruses and we all know that there are UV rays in sunshine, but UV is only one three types of rays given off by the sun. The ozone blocks much of the UV rays. If you wanted to get enough UV from the sun to kill this virus it would cause you to develop cancer and burn the cornea of your eyes.

Where is the 'common sense' you're wondering about? Where is it!?

My city has already passed an ordinance making face masks mandatory in public. It's a shame that we need to force people to comply with basic health measures. The population of adult babies in America is very high.

If your city had to defend its ordinance in a court of science and reason, it would be unable to do so.

Assertion of authority based upon emotion will not fly in a court of science and reason. That masks provide safety is an illusion widely held by a very fearful public, encouraged by incessant propaganda.

Your post is not accurate. Wearing face covers in public accomplishes only one thing--a false sense of security for the wearer.

My message to the government: Make me. If you feel it so important to save lives, make me wear a mask. Make it into law. I dare you.

I am not going to wear a mask because I have civil liberties and rights. If I choose not to wear one, I shall not wear one. If I choose to wear one, I will.

There laws requiring I wear a seat belt. There are laws requiring me to wear clothes when I walk in the public (people just cannot walk nude in public).... lots of laws... I dare the government to make a face mask law. If they feel it is that important, do it!!!

Please choose something that won't affect other people; at risk persons could be vulnerable.

My question is why, why do you feel so little that covering your face to stop disease seems an imposition?

I wish the government would make everyone wear a mask. If you (general) want the freedom to go about, to work, to worship, to eat out, to play, and you (general) are to stubborn and ignorant and selfish and disrespectful to do what is right, someone should make you. It is either that, or you stay home. That is a choice.

you won't even know the grandparent that you (potentially) kill.

So you want the government to make you wear a mask, because crying about civil liberties doesn't work when they don't make you. This has to be one of the most painfully ****ing stupid arguments, ever.

N95 masks are different. They are not asking us to wear those. That's great if you have that kind to use, then by all means use it.

Are you deluded?

Epidemics come and go. That is nature. This one is following the same path.

Masks give the wearers a false sense of security. How many have been injured or killed in an auto accident while wearing a mask?

So you're willing to sacrifice your family's health, and possibly their lives, to support dear leader. That's quite the cult you're in.

again i cover my face and i know it wont help me it reduces the risk for others from me theirs no sence of security from covering my own face

epidemics come and go and its still within nature if we use are ****ING BRAINS! to reduce the rate of infection and the total numbers of infections and if we reduce the amount of people who die from not having access to medical resources by spreading out the number of infections over time

that the kind of human thing we got those big energy expensive brains for so that we can manipulate the world around us to suite are selves and survive more often and weer pretty collective about it .

if your cover your eyes while you drive thats another failure to use your brain
 
Someone should tell Bucky that emergency orders from Governors and state legislatures are law. They are authorized by the legislation that created the procedures and limitations for emergency orders. The reason we have emergency orders, and legislation authorizing and limiting them, is so that we needn't write a dozen new laws and then rescind them each crisis.

Poor guy doesn't seem to have the slightest clue how US law works.

In your case, I think a diaper may suit your needs better than a mask. Nice to know your civil liberties are much more important than your health and the health of those around you. Let me guess, you're a trump supporter.

You're probably from Eastern Washington where nobody lives. Nobody cares if you don't wear a mask.

If you're in New York City, not wearing a mask can get people killed.

Not if you care about others. The moisture droplets from people's breath can linger in the air for quite a while.
