The mask is to protect others from your own germs, not you from the world. Even then, they aren't 100% effective especially makeshift cloth ones. I think the psychological aspect is a big part of it.. people probably just feel safer if those around them are masked and it makes them complain less.

Donald Trump is a Class A moron. No wonder the leaders of other countries make fun of him. We (the US) are the laughing stock of the global community because of this fool. I guarantee if he contracted COVID-19, he would somehow blame the Democrats, Hilary Clinton, or anyone else he does not like.

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

IF you are sick then you should stay at home. Same with the flu. It is unreal how many people have the flu and go to Walmart. ::)

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

It is not mandatory to wear a mask when you go in to a store. Maybe where you live but over all it is not.

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.

OR you can just stay at home if you are scared to be around people. The rest of us are going to get on with living their lives. You gonna feel real foolish when you realize this is all a hoax.

Most people could care less if somebody complains. If you do not feel safe being around people then stay at home.  Use delivery services and order online.  I am also noticing the whine bags that make snide remarks about people not wearing a mask are getting put in their place more and more.  You do what you think you need to do and don't worry about every one else.

lol YOU are a Class A moron. The only fools are the idiots that are blaming President Trump for this virus.  It is funny cause what you say can be turned around on you but you just can't see that.  The dumorats are blaming Trump for the virus in every way possible.  We need to ship all the fearful cupcakes to their own island with a box of masks.

Wow I am so glad I am not the only one of that opinion.  People in the Orlando area were trying on dresses in a fancy dress shop and going about their business like everything was back to normal.  I know we all wish it were so but I am in agreement with you the worst is very possibly yet to come.  I am not changing anything about what I am doing.

Takes one to know one. How you can call this President such a disrespectful term is beyond my comprehension. A moron is a person with an intellectual disability. Can you cite one incident which indicates to you in any way that our President has this disability? Do you set yourself above his intellectual prowess? How many businesses do you control? How much money did you make last year? How many people have you helped in this country?

And just exactly which leaders are making fun of our President? Can you name one? Which countries are making fun of us? Can you tell me that? Where do you get your information citing these alleged opinions of us by other countries? Other countries fear us and hate us because we are better off than all of them. Isn't that why there are so many people from other countries trying so hard to get into this country? They want a better life.

I wish more people loved this country. Just take one trip to another country. Just one. You'll see why we are way better off being here and probably always will be.

As for blaming others as you mentioned, President Trump does not play the blame game until he has sufficient evidence to back up his claims. Some people just go off on a rant when they don't like someone. They don't even really need a reason at all. Isn't that sad? :'(

I guess we'll have to hope that based on what we've heard and seen around us (you know, real life), people will keep their masks on for the time being. I mean, it's doubtful that many people in my little part of the world have COVID-19, but I am not willing to bet my life on it. I'm 58 years old and diabetic, plus lung issues. Everyone needs to have at least a modicum of common sense! I don't think it's the end of the world or anything like that, but I do think everyone wearing a mask at this particular time might be what saves your (or someone else's) life. JMHO.  :peace: :heart:

If masks work, why do businesses need to be closed?

Agree, in MA, pretty much everyone has their masks on when on the outside, which I think is responsible to themselves and others

People will have to wear their face mask until this crisis is over. They will have to do this even if they are in states that are reopening (which is too soon).

People do not have to wear face masks now.  Some places but not all.  Hilarious is our local police are looking for a guy, asking who can identify this person, who walked in to a store and opened the cash register and took the money. ::)  He has on a hat and basically you can see his eyes.  And they are blurry. lol
