A Lot OFoolish People Getting Rid Of Their Masks
« on: May 05, 2020, 09:45:05 pm »
This is a mess.  Trump is telling people that all will be ok.  It's not going to be okay because the Scientists are telling him that May 15th is too early for people to revert back to normal.  What will be the norm?  People are going to get rid of their much needed masks.  It is being said that the second wave of the Virus will be worse.  I think there will be total chaos when  individuals remove their masks to end Social Distancing.  Bad Idea.

Not a good idea to get of your mask just yet !!  There are still a lot of people out there who have this virus and are still spreading it around and don't even know they have it...  and they don't care about spreading it around.

I have no idea what "normal" is now.  When this whole thing began I felt odd wearing a mask  Now I always wear my mask out and don't think twice about it.  I honestly do not know why some people feel it is such a hassle to wear a mask.  ::)

We haven't been (forced) to wear masks.  The essential workers have to at work.  I put one in my car for when I go into the store.  Was supposed to get a discount for doing so.  I haven't got the discount and never asked for it either.  You sure don't want to be spending a lot of time shopping with  a mask on.  But I am an in and out shopper anyway.

I like that!!  "In n' Out Shopper"    I too have become an "in and out shopper!"  No more cruising the aisles looking for discontinued items and clearance prices, if it isn't in the bin forget it!

i agree people should still be wearing masks. Masks are now manditory in Mass. You can get fined if you don't wear one when you go out. Keep in mind all of us are potential carriers with or without symptoms. The main purpose of the mak is to protect others from you. :rainbow: :peace: :wave:
Be grateful for what you have and you will receive more than you ever expected

If you believe it you can achieve it.

It is going to be okay.  The foolish people are the ones running around with masks and gloves. ::)

I love the way you are trying to blame Trump for this.  smh   If you want to wear a mask then by all means wear one.  Stay locked up in your homes.  Maybe you are the other fearful will wake up one day.

And I don't see why people think it is such a necessary thing to have a mask on.  The cdc originally said the mask did not do any good.

I wear a mask when I go out.  In my state you are required to wear one when you go into stores.  I think it’s a great idea, and if you don’t wear one that’s your choice but as our secretary of health says, my mask protects you and your mask protects me.

I hate that people don't understand that wearing masks benefits everyone.  People are walking around here asymptomatic and spreading it but refusing to wear one just makes me mad.

My son,daughter in law and grandson are coming by Sunday for a short visit think I'll wear a mask. My son works with a few people he wears a mask and keeps a distance. Our son who lives with us shops for us. Haven't gone out for what 6 weeks. My husband thinks I'm nuts to wear a mask I say to each his own.

I think the masks should be mandatory specially if you are sick, but messages are so contradictory that it is hard to make a decision

It's still mandatory to wear a mask when going into a store, but it's 50/50 when just walking around outside.

Masks aren't 100% effective, especially since people don't always wear them properly, but they are better than nothing...it is frustrating to see people not wearing them or not wearing them properly. I see more and more people becoming more anxious and not following distancing orders either, which is also frustrating. I can understand not wearing masks outside or in your own car, but when around others you should.
