Default Out Shopping

Was out the other day (finally come out of my non contagious hole) and noticed only a handful of people wearing masks. I think we are on the upswing of this fear mongering. As I walked by a few I just kinda mentioned not just under my breath so much that I was glad to see that the infected were responsible enough to wear a mask so we as being some what still the real normal can be safe. Just me being me. Nothing normal about what they want to call the new normal.

One thing I've learned from this time is more people should keep their thoughts to themselves in public about how others act. Sure a lot of that going around lately....

What business is it of yours?

Yep. Just you being you.

Betting you wouldn't say a word to a large man wearing a mask.

Wearing a thong upside down and backwards on your head could act as a mask.

Must have crawled back into his non-contagious hole.

Nope I crawl no where and yes I will say it whenever and where ever. I am not gonna play that game. I do not sneeze or cough into the open air as most do cause they don't care sick or not. I carry sanitizer in my pocket everywhere I go and use it after touching all the things you might have touched. You wear your mask. Don't judge me for what I say. Are you that insecure from a comment you might hear? You probably drive around in your own vehicle by yourself with a mask on. Tell me your not the one contaminated then. You probably think if someone in the vehicle in front of you sneezes out the window and you have yours open you will catch something. Go ahead and live in your bubbles. I will keep my distance. I love the outdoors and will continue to do so.

I was also confused by your first post. Your last one clarifies things: you think wearing a mask is ridiculous and prefer to social distance instead.

That’s fine with me. I prefer to keep my distance as well as wear a mask while at work and in public places. Like you, I am using frequent hand washing and sanitizer when I feel it is appropriate.

What I do not understand is why you think we need to be at odds with one another.

Let me take a moment to explain to you why I wear a mask in public spaces. I promise it will be quick, sorry it’s not in crayon.

Given that this virus has an incubation time averaging 6 days before symptoms start and that a percentage of people will never show symptoms at all it’s possible that any of us might be walking around spreading it unknowingly. I would rather wear that annoying stupid mask around than be the reason somebody else gets sick. It’s that simple.

Now if you don’t see it that way then that’s up to you, make a choice you can live with. However if I am wearing my mask and somebody like yourself refers to me using that term above you’re gonna spend the next few days googling “how long will it take me to pass a cloth mask through my digestive system”. Although I have to say that years of experience have shown me people such as yourself tend to pick little girls to yell at rather than 300lb rugby players. Ruins ALL my damn fun.

I deleted the totally unacceptable insult at the end of your post.

The reason that the health authorities are asking people to wear masks is to reduce the spread of the virus by individuals who have it but do not have symptoms, for whatever reason. It doesn't seem like too much to ask for help protect vulnerable people.
