I am glad that I have the freedom to wear a mask or not to wear a mask.  I choose to wear one.  Even if this virus wasn't reeking havoc all over the world, I think a mask would be most helpful during flu season.

I also have a lot of concerns about what may or may not happen next.  Anyone who listens to Trump is an idiot.   Everyone knows he lies and doesn't care about the American People.

Any one who listens to the media is an idiot. Trump has done more for the American people than any president in history. And he does not lie.  If you like being controlled you should move to a communist country. You don't vote any way so your opinion does not count.

I think everyone should wear one in public for now since this is such a terrible virus that has and will continue to kill so many.

You are not the lone voice. Have you not read the other comments? There are several who do not agree with the masks or other control measures that are taking place. You are right - you likely will get jumped on. lol

If you want to wear a mask then wear one. If you want to hide in your home then hide. The rest of us are going to go on living. And no we won't get sick.

I have not worn a mask at all. I have trouble breathing through my nose on a nice day, without pollution or allergens. I'm not interested in passing out from lack of oxygen.

My husband's employer started requiring masks today. They sent him home with two of them. I asked if he could blow out a match while wearing it. He tried it, and the match went out. Please explain how his breath can get through, but the virus cannot? These homemade masks can stop large droplets of fluid, but they're not going to stop virus particles. Sorry, I'm not buying it.

     Wearing masks is not a bad idea because of world wide air pollution.

That is an excellent point about the blowing out a match.  The virus is so microscopic that you need a powerful microscope to see it.  More powerful that the regular ones.  The CDC even said this.  The CDC said when this first started the masks did not help anything and basically it was foolish to wear one.  The only people who need them are health care workers.  And health care workers can't get them because churches have 500 plus masks hoarded up because they are afraid to breathe around others.

We went to the grocery store this morning. ALL of the workers had on masks.  The one girl had the mask pulled up to below her bottom lip. smh

Less than half the customers had on a mask. But the ones who wear them got some pretty evil glares they are shooting at those of us who do not wear one.  People need to get a grip.  Do what makes you feel comfortable and leave every one else alone.  I do think more and more employers may require a mask.  I will NOT wear one.  I mostly work alone so no one would know the difference.  I think the thing behind that is so they can't get sued if someone gets sick while they are at work.  Dang, I wish I had known bad colds and the flu were reasons to sue an employer.

I try wearing my mask, but after awhile I have to take it off because I feel like I just can't breath.  I don't like close spaces so the mask makes me feel like I am in a close space.

I wore a mask today and I had a hard time breathing and lowered it some. It made me hot too, and it was hot in Walmart which was very strange..
