Masks dont protect the person wearing them. They are supposed to help protect other people if the person wearing it sneezes or coughs. When we cough without a mask, the droplets can travel up to 12 ft.

When we cough with a mask not all droplets are contained within it, but it severely restricts the distance those droplets can travel.

Masks can harm the person wearing them. Breathing your own carbon dioxide for long periods of time can raise your blood pressure and even give you a stroke.

Should we wear a mask? Yes.

Should we completely lose our minds if we see someone who isnt wearing a mask? No, but it would probably be wise to remember social distancing, and move away from them. Even with a mask, you still need to maintain a distance, If you are within a couple feet of someone else with a mask, neither one of you are really protected.

You could get sick trying to find out why they are not masked up like you. If you fear getting sick, move 12 feet away from them, and six feet away from people who are masked up like you.

No im saying that I am questioning why they are not wearing one like me not that I am wondering why because I feel they will make me get sick. I feel like if I have to be aggravated with a mask on then everyone should

No, Im saying that if you are not at least 12 feet away from them, it doesnt matter if you have to be aggravated with a mask on.

It's coming, one day someone or people are going to jump on the wrong person about not wearing a mask, then *KaBOOM* he or she goes off! Glock, knife, sword.....something is going to happen that takes a whole lot of nosy people out.

Someone not wearing a mask? Move away from them, it's just that simple.

Hence why I don't take the subway. Way too many people unmasked for my taste.

i agree with this.
yes he should have worn a mask but arguing isn't goin to change his mind.
what makes no sense is the person arguing with him who gets about two feet away from him. if you're that worried about him getting you sick don't go close to him to argue it makes no sense at all.
