Just look around you at all those people in public who pull their masks down every time they speak and then pull it back up. Don't you think it would be much more hygienic if they had no mask on and not constantly touch their face?

How come none of the scientists publish a study/video where they take someone's masks and look under a microscope what is all on it? The results may change the worlds view of these half a$$ed masks but I guess they want to keep the public uneducated and feeling safe.

If you want to be really safe you have to keep cleaning it, and get a real N95 mask and not constantly touch it.

And how come the government has no requirements for masks? you can hang a dirty rug over your face, thats okay. Just SOMETHING and all is good. Does that make any sense to you?
Well of course, You do have to wear it correctly.....and we do. We have no control over what others do. As long as thay have a mask ( not crochet, although, if Mom was alive, I am sure she woud crochet some LOL),it is better then nothing. I agree, mask should be made, that are not the flimsy ones you buy in the store. Some buy them for the fashion statement, or color.

I wear one when entering stores and public areas that are crowded but not when outside in areas where I can distance myself. Pretty standard here and I have some neighbors who literally put on masks when watering their own front lawn.

Before you jump to conclusions and show yourself to be the AH that you seem to be, why not read my comment that indicates I was offering the statements as options for the survey. You really seem to be .......lacking! As I said in another comment, some people on this list do show common sense but for others......sense is not common! Easy to see where you fall!

I think it's important to point out the masks are only controversial in the United States, one of a few major countries where cases are still on the rise, and one where its citizens have been banned from large segments of the world from travelling due to the country's inability to contain the virus.

I wear a mask everywhere AND feel that there should be a national mandate (but I picked national mandate in this poll).

Is it November yet?
