Florida is lifting covid restrictions. Would you wear a mask
If you think, as I do, that a mask reduces your chance of catching the virus, would you continue wearing one until you feel much of the risk is out there.
I personally feel a mask is effective since it is clear that droplets spread the disease. I am going to keep wearing a mask in public places until I see a significant drop in new cases. ' How about you other mask wearers? |

I wear a mask to respect you and you wear a mask to respect me.
If you can't wear a mask, you shouldn't be out in public. No excuse. I go to stores as soon as they open to avoid crowds. What ticks me off is to see people with a mask on but wearing it on their chin with nose/mouth exposed as I saw two dudes at Home Depot a few weeks ago, at 6:00 am. Also weeks ago at Home Depot saw a mountain of a man about 6' 8" and 400 lbs. scream and yell at two punks who weren't wearing any mask. In Singapore, police can deliver punish on site by caning a person for offences. I wish we had this in the US. |

Only if I absolutely have to, otherwise no. If you're scared of the virus, stay the **** home instead of telling everyone else what to do so you feel better.

You see, unlike the socialist hell-hole you live in, here in my neck of the woods we've not been wearing masks or cucking out at all for a couple months now. Restaurants are at full capacity, businesses can request that you wear a mask but can't make you. And they better do so rather low-key because most people here will just avoid your sorry ass store if you do. And guess what? Nobody's dying. Nobody's sick. Things are just fine. |

No, I wear a mask in place of business because they will not serve me if I don't. No other reason.

I was in Florida a few weeks ago, I was often the ONLY person wearing a mask. I’m really surprised they haven’t had a spike since Labor Day weekend.
I’ll probably continue to wear a mask in public until my family and I have been vaccinated. |

As far as the vaccine goes, why get a vaccine for a virus that only kills 0.035% of the people that get symptomatic, and the vast majority that do die already have on average 2.5 serious co-morbidities? I mean, I guess if you are in that demographic, over about 60 and not very healthy, you could just as easily die from the flu (0.02% people die from it, all things being equal.) |

You can wear a mask forever for all I care, just don't expect me to do the same because of your personal "feelings." |

I wear a mask only when I am required to do so (entering a place of business, the gym, or work).
I do not wear one for a second longer than I am required to do so and if they ever lift the stupid rule (not likely in the near future) I won't wear one. At work I am not required to wear one while seated at my desk in my office or while socially distanced in a meeting room, so I don't. Many do. At the gym I am not required to wear one while stationary and exercising; only while walking around or entering/exiting the gym. So I don't. |

Nope, would not wear one. the only time a mask is appropriate is while mowing the yard. CV19 is a zero event, morbidity rates track the last few years so guess what that means? Yeah the same number of people are dying that normally would so CV19 means zip. People in nursing homes catch a cold and die from that too.
