I never started wearing one. Too many sheep in this world.

Never wore much to start with, quit wearing completely Sept. 1 Had to wear one today to get into surgical center for upcoming knee procedure next week. Hospitals and vet clinics are the worst, they think everyone is on the COVID death bed.

My employer requires me to wear it....thus, I will wear it until they no longer require it.

Same with businesses that I patronize. If they require me to wear it, I will. If they don't, I won't.

Started to already, not at home, but stayed in purse today in all the places I went into.

No one said a damn thing.

**** it.

Come live in Pecos...no masks required now.

I just tell the door guardians that I have a medical condition and can't wear one.

Yep

I'm curious how many of you are still working from home? We are required to wear them at work, so I'm assuming those of you who say you aren't wearing masks are either working from home still, retired, or currently unemployed.

The party of science literally does a lot of things based on no science or data. If they don't have it they make it up.

I own my business and we frown on people wearing masks inside.

I'll have on on to enter a restaurant...

Don't put one on to when I Goto bathroom or leave the restaurant.

In grocery store I wear it at my chin leaving nose and mouth exposed to piss off the libs.

Laugh my ass off at people I see driving by themselves wearing a mask.

It amazes me to this day how worked up people get because they have to wear a mask. Poor babies.

50-80k people die of the flu EVERY year. Do you wear it as a courtesy for them every year?

---

My understanding is that the vast majority of those do not die from the flu -- they die from opportunistic infections that gain a foothold while your immunity is low from having the flu.

Why didn't business and government require masks during SARS and during flu season?

All are viruses. All are contagious. All are same size. All are spread the same way.

If we didn't need a mask for SARS and we don't need it during the flu season we don't need it now.

---

Are you serious?

SARS was not a big thing here. We had a few cases, but not very many.

Also, with SARS by the time you were contagious, you were already quite sick and likely in the hospital. There were few, if any, instances of people walking around not knowing they had it and infecting others.

It most certainly does harm the economy. People don't do many things they otherwise would because of the mask requirement. Maybe libs get some kind of warm fuzzy when they put on a mask. but for a conservative, it's depressing to see people wearing masks. Having to wear a mask takes most of the fun out of any activity you may engage in, making you less likely to actually engage in that activity which harms the economy.

---

Conservatives? What conservatives? Do we still have conservatives in this country? I'm starting to think that they nearly all became radicals under Trump.

Oh Karen

See? It works both ways.

I don't wear them period and dare people to say something to me. Haven't had an issue.

When private property owners (businesses) stop requesting it. They own the property they make the rules.

The government forced them to require it. Why can't people see this is different.

---

Oh we see the difference, but like the business owners, we don't give a **** and we're tired of it. I don't need the government to worry about my health, I need them to worry about my constitutional rights being observed.

You really need to work on your understanding of covid deaths. Here is a start, not that your TDS will allow you to listen.

-6% died with no comorbidity
-average number of comorbidities at time of death is 2.4
-average age of death is higher that the average age of death.
-dying of covid and dying with covid are counted the same.
-in one day, NY added 3,300 presumed covid deaths with no positive covid test.

Can't figure out how you Coronabros get so dug in on Covid but flippantly disregard the flu. I better see threads from you every flu season from here on out about wearing masks because it's such a teeny tiny itty bitty little thing you can do to help your fellow man.

Will you commit right now to wearing a mask every flu season? Actually, if it's "literally the least thing we can do" Why not just commit to wearing one for the rest of your life?

I'm done

If we were to compare deaths directly from the flu with deaths directly from covid, I think that we would find it very lopsided towards more covid deaths than flu deaths.

Furthermore, having one or more comorbidity does not mean that they died from any of those comorbidities. Or that they would have died from any of those comorbidities in the future.

when will the fake keyboard "patriots" on this board fight public indecency laws and seat belt laws? if you think wearing a mask is destroying your liberties and you have to show everyone how much of a patriot you are, why not stop wearing clothes? why are you still wearing your seatbelt? you know all those seatbelt stats are fake, big government scams to get you to pay extra to lib car makers rght??

50-80k die each year from the flu. You wear your mask during each flu season or shut your pie hole about the mask. That's the bottom line, lib.

My wife's great uncle died at 86 after stopping treatment for cancer. Covid was the cause of death. When your average age of death is higher than the overall average age of death I think it's safe to say he isn't the only one with a similar story. NY added 3,300 presumed deaths in one day. With no testing. No funny business there right?

Tell you what, when those laws cause 50 million jobs to be lost I'll start to worry about them.

Such a stupid argument that is so worn out on this board. Next maybe you can tell me about if you and Eric are both naked and pee on each other it will be worse than if you both have pants on and try to pee on each other.

I'm all for getting rid of seat belt laws.

I walked thru Walmart, TSC, Kroger, and the Mall and only received a few looks. I think those looks were "I wish I could be like him but I'm to afraid".

Most of those 50 to 80 thousand die from opportunistic infections, not from the flu itself.
