The Whole Foods here is the worst, with the good little mask bots scurrying up and down the one way aisles. They remind me of vampires regarding anyone without a mask as a crucifix waving priest and hurrying to get back to their caskets before the sun rises. Some appear to be absolutely terrified just to be outside.
They are the new undead
I guess I was too nice a person to give dirty looks to people not wearing masks, but feeling annoyed by their self-centered disregard for others. I’ll try the dirty look thing next time, see how it feels. Thanks for the suggestion!

So you’re mocking people who are trying to protect others, since we have been told that a mask helps limit any spread of the virus we might have? You might have been that young guy in the store last week who came right up behind me, stood within two feet as I pulled my cans off the shelves, and coughed. He had no mask. Selfish kids - they feel invincible, so they don’t care if they infect others.

I’m curious since we now have hard data that the Covid-19 has a Fatality Rate equivalent to the Flu. Do you and Rachel wear masks during the flu season.

If you aren't sick, you can't infect anyone. The virus does not spontaneously appear when two people come within 6 feet of each other. The MAJORITY of the masks worn are worthless and intended to remind the wearer NOT to touch their face while out in public. The provide ZERO health benefits other than "piece of mind".
Around here no mask no service. Non mask people won’t be admitted to any place of business so no one needs concern themselves with those who refuse to wear a mask for whatever reason that they deem personally necessary.
I am not going to wear a mask because I choose not to.
If you want to wear a mask then go for it, i will not judge your choice just like you shouldn't judge mine.
I’m getting very annoyed every time I go to the grocery store and get dirty stares for not wearing a mask. Excuse me if I’m not a sheep and don’t want to live in fear.
AND Btw...The mask does NOT protect the wearer.
The mask keeps the wearer (who might be sick) from breathing germs, viruses and bacteria out with each exhale.
Since people wearing a mask don't also protect their eyes with goggles, an airborne pathogen can enter their body through the moist pathway of the eyes.
The only time a mask protects a wearer is when the wearer is grinding or burning or painting and the dust or fumes might be inhaled. Then the mask is PPE protection. With a virus, ALL MOIST ORIFICES MUST BE COVERED OR SEALED from exposure.
Since the death rate is now down to FLU levels, it would be best to carry on.....get sick......get well....and be full of antibodies.
This is extremely dependant on the type of mask, as well as the knowledge, training and habits of the person wearing the mask.
For instance, wearing the wrong type of mask for paint fumes or sanding/grinding dust can actually make exposure worse by giving the wearer a false sense of security or just not being rated for that type of hazard.
A great example is when you see someone wearing a nuisance dust mask when spraying paint.
I imagine it works the same way for something like a virus.

I was out over the weekend and the number of masked people, mainly employees, who were sticking their hand, fingers up under the mask, fidgeting with the mask or wearing it below their nose was amusing.
