Mask-wearing is becoming increasingly politicized.California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, announced Thursday that mask-wearing is compulsory in most public settings, making California the 11th state to mandate people to wear masks. Public spaces include every workspace, public transit, and any facility in which people receive medical care.President Trump, meanwhile, has discounted the benefits of wearing a mask to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. He told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Thursday that Americans who wear masks are signaling disapproval of him. He added that his biggest problem with masks is that people fidget too much with them to be effective.

Not always. In Maryland, DC and Virginia you have to wear a mask to shop or go to a medical appointment. I never wear a mask outdoors. And now that it's 80+ and humid, the masks create their own swampy atmosphere on your face. It has a smothering effect. Can't wait for a maskitis ailment
to surface. Tragically, the lawmakers have found it very easy to control law abiding citizens.

Masks are the replacement for the reusable shopping bags that blue states required just months ago until the question of disease eliminated them. Masks will be tossed away when the same question of contamination is raised. And when another virtue signaling item is found to replace the mask.

Why are we tolerating this? How will it be enforced? Will police be reduced to hall monitor status? The "authorities" have lost all credibility after encouraging mass protests and riots. Is it time the "Resistance" protested en mass by GASP! refusing to mask?

Except medical facilities, I don't wear a mask. In almost every other public setting where the people working there are required to wear masks, they are pulled down on their chins so they can communicate to the customer. Worthless times two.

Depending on who you work for or where you shop at, you may be required to mask up.
That's how it is, here.

Bumped enter before I was finished sorry.
The employer says:
1. If you want to work, mask up.
2. If a customer wants service, or even entry, mask up.
3. If BLM says now and wash their feet, if you want to stay employed, bow and wash their feet.
I've already informed them, if the day comes a BLMer demands that, he's in for a world of hurt, and they know what they can do with my job, so I figure I'm on borrowed time.

Rat politicians are all in on this. Good. Demonstrate to the dim just how far your dictatorial ambitions reach. Meanwhile rat governors continue to send infected into nursing homes to murder people and boost their numbers to get more DC money.

Where I work, they've been mandatory since Monday. Except in my cubicle. Not ready to ditch my paycheck over it. Other things may push me out, but not this. I agree, it is a farce.

...IF you are a mask-wearing sheep ...and believe a cloth bandana ...a recycled KISS tee shirt...or $2.49 mask from Rite Aid .... can actually protect you against a microscopic sized virus ...the WHAT do you care if anyone else wears a mask or not ??...YOU are "protected"
... #1 bleeting back ( The Math response) : "Well if you wear one too then there is double protection." ...???....IF that was true...WHY don't you just wear TWO masks ??....then everyone is happy...??
...#2 bleeting back ( The I'm- concerned-for-humanity response) : " By not wearing a mask you are possibly endangering others!! " ....??...really...IF you feel that way than I suggest you give up driving your car...EVERY time you get in it, you are possibly endangering people in other cars ...on bikes..pedestrians...people sitting near the window in coffee shops ...etc ...
The Truth is ...mask-wearers KNOW it is senseless...and they look foolish...so they want EVERYONE to have to do it...so - in their minds - THEY don't look so foolish.

I love how all of a sudden certain areas are instituting mandatory mask policies 3 months after this started.

Sitting in a cubicle, speaking only PC comments, wearing a mask and thanking your government master you still have a job. You may have survived, but at what cost. MAFA

I only wear mine to church since the bishop said we had to and to the doctor's since we have to. Where I live, it has gotten up to the 90's a few days and the humidity is HIGH. Masks are horribly uncomfortable and I hate them.

Mask wearers drank the koolaid and still believe people who were wrong about everything. I wear one to see my doctor because I have no choice. Other than that I refuse. Businesses, like Menard’s, want to sell you a $1.00 ineffective mask at the door. No. I don’t shop anywhere that requires a mask. God help anyone who tries to confront me about it.

I wear a Nancy Pelosi Halloween mask. It scares away most everything, especially other tax payers who keep 60 feet away.

One of the few things that actually filters out viruses, protects your eyes (also a route for pathogens), and provides an airtight seal is the military's M50 NBC protective mask. I would love to see if any out of shape, air conditioned, office bound mask fanatics could spend five minutes wearing one.

I've said this at the beginning of the 'maskdemic' by August people still wearing masks will be identified as democrats. Notice who appear at microphones in the Congress who wear mask by the largest percent, democrats. It's already a political prop and not going to become better. Watching Jerold Nadler fumble with his at a microphone was almost comical give us a break there's so much misuse if the Kung-flu was that horrible many would have caught it by now.

FTA: Florida has "all the markings of the next large epicenter of coronavirus transmission," /snip/ Due to the state’s aging population and the ubiquity of retirement facilities, “the risk there is the worst it has ever been in our projections.”
Hello. Anybody home? That's what 'the experts' said in March. We've been relatively free since this started and we don't have thousands dead in nursing homes.

If I absolutely have to wear one, like in the DMV, or the Drs. office, I'll wear it, usually with it below my nose, so I can breathe. Watching people driving alone, in their own cars, windows closed and A/C running and wearing a mask, shows me how many sheeple we have.

I don't wear a mask. I am not sick. I will not wear a mask. The only place I was asked to wear a mask was for a routine doc appointment. I took one, and was never asked to put on a mask, even though a phone message was left on may answering machine that "you must wear a mask".
They didn't believe in it enough to even ask me....and, in that setting, I had resolved that if they asked me, I would put it on. Until then, no.
And otherwise....I wear a mask when I mow and sand. That helps keep the dust out of my lungs and sinuses.
