I have asthma and certainly dont want this virus, but I'm personally live and let live about masks. If a store requires it no problem. If I'm at a place where people aren't wearing one, it's up to me to keep my distance and pull the bandana I wear around my neck up over my face. I have older relatives that I visit on the phone and will continue to do so during the pandemic whether or not I've come face to face with the dreaded non mask wearer.

You wear a mask to protect others if you have the COVID-19 virus, not yourself. That is the only reason I wear would wear a mask as I would not want to make other's sick. In other words, your post makes no sense.

Yep, that is what I am going to be posting about. We now have enough votes now to conclude that the majority of Americans, on city data at least, do not want to be slaves and be forced to wear a mask against their will. There is hope!

The majority of Americans, not on city data, have worn masks. Many still do and will.

It made sense maybe 2 months ago but now the masks don't make much sense anymore. The virus has proven to have a 99.9% survival rate, and also, data has come out that heat from sunlight kills the virus and that it doesn't last on surfaces.

The masks have now become a psy-op by the govt to remind us that COVID exists so they can roll out their weird, Orwellian laws. This is all this is now. That and the good ol "divide and conquer strategy" between mask wearers and non-mask wearers.

I doubt a poll of 84 people well represents what over 350 million people think.

Not really sure what the survival rate is, but even those who survive can have long term health issues, depending on the severity of their illness. I'm not willing to chance that I have long-term or permanent damage to my heart, kidneys, liver or other organs. From what I've read and seen, many people tend to be of the same mind-set.

So you just don't quite grasp the idea that we can wear masks when necessary and still not be for mandatory mask wearing? Just a touch of cognitive deficit in here today.
