NEW MONTH - SAME NEED FOR MASKS


gonna be blunt here, but its necessary.

when youre in the grocery store, or any commercial building,
theres always an industrial HVAC system
spreading air throughout the building.
EVERYWHERE throughout the building !

SO, raising and lowering your mask
depending on whether youre "near" someone or not?

thats as STUPID as thinking its okay to piss in the pool
if no ones "near" you.

NO EXCUSES, unless you WANT to get locked down again,
or worse yet,
if youre okay with possibly bringing it home to your family.

this is FAR from over, theres a second wave waiting to happen
if we let our guard down and LET it happen.
or should i say MAKE it happen ? !

during world war 2, americans lived with rationed fresh food and gas,
and gave up pots and pans for metals for military use
and they still managed to raise our parents and grandparents.

YOU can wear a FUCKING MASK !
and wear it RIGHT ! MOUTH AND NOSE !

this is the one game where the cheaters will be the losers.
and unfortunately not the only ones.

    Quoting Tmptrzz:
    Unfortunately this is so very true but some people just don't think about that. I hope you have a great start to your week..
so true.

one issue is - just as ive said all along, if americas founders had ANY idea
what todays country and attitudes would like like,
theyd have written a "bill of duties", actions necessary to EARN
the rights included in the "bill of rights".
freedom indeed isnt "free".

the other issue is - even for those who DO wear the masks,
people just dont understand how things work.
we live in a push-button world but many have no idea
HOW the things they push buttons to get done actually get done.
for example, i shop at a strip-mall
where there are two exits onto the busy main street,
one unguarded and the other, 20 yards away, with a traffic light.
theres always some boneheads trying to turn left
at the unguarded exit rather than at the traffic light.
and its not even math, its just common sense - how things work.

SMH !

    Quoting dogslife2live01:

    just to set things right. the mask is not to prevent you from contracting the virus. the mask is to prevent you from spreading the virus.
    but but it it still better you wear than not to wear
yes, youre correct on that -

masks ARE more about
not spreading it than not getting it.

and because of the two-week incubation period
when you can have it and not know it,
maybe it should have read
"to send it home to all your neighbors families".

but if the chain of prevention is broken at any link,
its as good as broken completely.

THANX for your intelligent and informed response
and contribution to the discussion.
merci, bon voisin.

I have now taken to carrying a card with me. I am very high risk and I do what I think is right: I wear it if I am going to be around other people and the where doesnt matter . So far the stores that I might visit are all following CDC guidelines: one way aisles,employees with masks, hand sanitizer, plexi and more. WalMart here will not let you in if no mask nor will Trader Joe. Hannaford and Shaws are iffy as to customer compliance for face covering but very alert to the 6 foot. If I am compromised in a facility my sign says
" I am High Risk. Thank you for not caring about my future"
There is indeed a second wave coming and the final jump start is the protestors and rioters pushing the limits of fairness. They just dont get it

Saw a news report that a city had put out a statement stating that , " The wearing of masks shall continue Indefinately , as We begin re-opening. " I don't recall where or what city it was .

Yep, common sense McThik.

If people don't like wearing a mask, they'll like the ventilator even less........
