It's quite disheartening to know that we live in a society where the media rules over people's lives and they seem to be ok with that and without any question at all.

The only way it will change is from the top. If Trump takes the virus threat seriously, then his little Trumpling lemmings will.

That's rich, from someone crying about wearing a mask.

Don't try talking common sense here! Anyway, no doubt there's some reason to discredit Taiwan, its government, or its inhabitants for their responsible handling of the pandemic. Be patient ... it will come.

You know what's really terrifying ... the number of people who are so ignorant that they cannot comprehend simple biology and physics.

You tell me. You're the one - one of many - who's not getting it.

What's really disheartening is the level of willful ignorance in our society.

I don't know why, but, these self-appointed mask monitors are hard to take seriously:

Your mentality is everything that's wrong with this country and why the media continues to push their propoganda. Think for yourself, apply common sense, and look at all of the facts without your horse blinders on. It's ok to disagree on things, but why is your way the right way and everyone else is wrong?

This answer is why this pandemic will be haunting us for a long looooong time


Masks help reduce "direct mist" from you, when wearing a mask, to me when wearing a mask.


Surgeons do not wear masks to protect themselves from their patients, they wear them to protect patient during surgery, WAKE UP!!!

No. No it won’t.

Basically, just save your breath.



NO you save my breath (LIFE) from yours by wearing a mask!

The reason people are blowing this off is that this "scare tactic" does not jive with what regular people know in the real world -- that being.

1. I don't know anyone who has gotten seriously sick on this -- 4 months on.
2. The number of deaths continues to drop in relation to the infections.
3. There is no official statement from any official government body warning of serious after issues on a large basis. Just random stories of one or two people who allegedly had issues, and we aren't even sure they were from this virus.

Plus obviously masks don't work. The vast majority of people have masks on since May and the number of infections just keeps growing. Far larger than when we weren't wearing masks.

Reasonable conclusion: They don't work.
