What about people with breathing problems whom can't tolerate having their mouth covered? What about people intolerant of heat or exertion whom wearing a mask will make their condition worse? What about the poor on food stamps who don't have $20-$50 to spend on a box of masks, or the elderly who don't get out much who can't travel around to 50 stores looking for a mask? What if you are never out, have no symptoms and feel certain you can't possibly be "sick" nor believe you can have a life-threatening deadly pandemic disease yet still have no symptoms at all and simply refuse to play along like a fool? I can see a lot of harm. It all boils down to the question: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO FREE WILL IN THIS COUNTRY?The sad story is that wearing a mask does not do much to prevent you from getting a virus from others as they don't seal to the face. Their real purpose is to keep you from spreading it to others in close proximity by coughing or sneezing by catching the expelled aerosols! So unless you have Covid, are coughing and sneezing and close to other people, wearing the mask outside is mainly a pointless exercise to make everyone feel good.
What masks? There are none. Make your own? And who decides if it is correctly made? Meanwhile, you go to jail or get a ticket if caught without one. Whats next? Martial law?
And a bronx tiger has been tested positive for the flu. Not enough flu tests? Sure there are, if you are a big cat.
This is getting more and more ludicrous.
So? Do it anyway....Look, one of the responsibilities we have for our fellow citizens is to keep each other calm....If wearing a covering while this is going on helps achieve that, then what's the harm? Also, you said yourself, it will cut down on the spread, is that not a good thing?
