Some Businesses 'Still Require' Customers To Wear Masks (I knew this would happen)

Then you didn't look very hard.
Try again.
I was once told that before I tried to convince people I was right, I should be able to prove to myself I wasn't wrong.
Keep trying.

In the link belowthis I posted several links to reputable institutions that tested the effectiveness of masks. I've asked for links to studies from reputable institutions from people to support their opinions and have received nothing. Instead I get cuz I told you so and a link to a study about mandates. Now I'm asked to do the legwork for the opinions I oppose. So, no.

Some Businesses 'Still Require' Customers To Wear Masks (I knew this would happen)

It almost seems that some businesses that didn't enforce the mask mandate, now require masks to be worn. That is entirely their business to do so. A business can set many policies regarding how patrons conduct themselves on their premises. No shirt, no shoes, = no service. They can have a...

Mexico just came up with a 'Nose Only' mask.

It's really cool looking - Utterly ineffective of course, but provides a wonderfully comedic/circus clown look.

Good Stuff!

Bottom line for me is I don't care if masks work or not. I am sure they do.

I don't like wearing them and have accepted the risks. If you can't accept me not wearing a mask when I shop, go home or get a iso-suit or YOU do something. Don't try to make me do something because you are scared.

Yes masks work, but I don't want to wear one.

What risk are you accepting? You think your average mask protects you?

If by cool you mean goofy looking then OK.

It is undeniable that a mask (pick your poison on the type) helps stop drops and particulates. So yes, they DO protect to some extent. I don't think they can stop everything by any means. Just like a "bullet proof vest" the one I have on now is great for handgun threats, but a rifle would zip through the front, me and the back just fine.

You can argue over how effective a mask is but I won't. They help and that's that. Their point isn't to filter the virus, its to filter as much of your slobber that has the virus in it as it can.

Most think about our a mask as a piece of hardware cloth trying to stop water, but it is really a piece of hardware cloth you sit a water filled balloon on. And wow, the porous screen stops "water", it may not stop all, but it stops some if not most.

When I am home I don't wear my body armor (well not very often anyway). I don't take it off because it only partially protects me or because I think there is no risk. I take it off because I don't want to wear it anymore, just like my mask.

I work on the assumption that the kind of mask the average person has (not high quality medical) gives the wearer no protection but if one wears it but may stop some infective droplets from infecting others if one is asymptomatically infected. So if one doesn't wear one, one may spread the disease to others and that is not acceptable. Analogous to an HIV patient not using a condom. In the operating room the surgeon is not wearing a mask to protect himself but to protect the patient (at least pre-covid). So, when you say you take acceptable risk, I say you really are not the one at risk, the other guy is. The analogy to armor is based I guess that you think a mask may give you some protection just as body armor worn by you does.

Well dammn it to hell, I always thought the surgeons wore masks to keep them from catching what the patient had. Like getting an ankle fracture while doing a ORIF on a patient that had one.

I know masks work. I used to wear them once a year as a kid and got more candy with a second mask and second trip around.

To get back on topic.

I went to Sam's today. They have a big sign saying masks are required in accordance with local/state laws or regulations. That is paraphrased.

So I go in without a mask and do my shopping. As I wait in the checkout line a supervisor says I need a mask. I told them that I was in compliance with their sign and according to the local/state regulations mentioned on the sign.

They looked at me like I an crazy so I offered to wait while they went to read the sign and reminded them that the governor had rescinded the mandate for the whole state.

They chose not to read the sign and walked off.
