Every person for him/her/their self. We get it. Rugged individualism.
This attitude is why the US will NEVER get control of this virus. Thank you for illustrating the epitome of utterly intransigent ignorance. Just in case people think NO ONE can honestly take such a position. I mean, we’ve heard of these selfish, destructive points of view, but don’t know anyone who actually believes them. To see it proclaimed for real is immensely helpful and frankly, terrifying. Like seeing a real-life ticking bomb, not just a cardboard model in a science* fair or something.
You have performed an important public service in the three hours since you joined this board. Many people have been here for years and not done as much good as you have. Congratulations. And goodbye.
Wear one of these over your mask, and this way, you won’t be touching your face, and you can go shopping or wherever you want to go without endangering your fellow citizens.
Touching your face won’t infect you unless you rub it into your eyes or other mucous membranes. But you must have already known that because you’re so knowledgeable on proper mask usage.
From the cdc. Touching a viral droplet on a surface, then touching your face (mouth, nose or eyes), can also cause an infection. So that’s not quite correct.
We are all trying to tell you that by not touching your mask and then your mucous membranes without washing your hands is the procedure that protects you.
I suggest wearing a face shield over your masked face if that helps you remember to not touch your face.
And you might want to look into what LOL can mean in our culture. In this context it can sound like you are arrogantly laughing in peoples’ faces. That does not promote polite discussion.
I am laughing arrogantly in your faces on the silliness of these answers. If you think touching your face constantly with a mask is good for you and I’m sure you are doing a cleaning of your hands each and every time while you are wearing it in stores and never once adjusting the mask for any reason go for it. I won’t or ever will.
Maybe we can retask the federal agents messing with protests to mask enforcement, since many stores dont seem interested in doing so. Might be fun to take a page from the episode of Star Trek: The next generation entitled “Justice”. Sorry this is the designated enforcement place…no mask…you gets the tazer.
Great drivers still make mistakes, that is why they wear seatbelts. Sure there are some that wear it wrong, but many do learn to do it properly. If you think that will not happen ever, then do not let them drive.
“Look, if I want to take the risk of getting killed by drinking and driving, that’s should be my choice. If you’re worried that you might get harmed by me acting with potentially lethal irresponsibility, just stay off the roads and sidewalks all the time.”
