      I have one it's a Cleveland Browns mask I wear it occasionally. The only reason I do is to ease the fears of people who might actually be afraid. On the other hand if people are truly in fear I can't imagine why they'd be shopping in Walmart or the Giant Eagle and not ordering curbside service. And if they, or you, are actually in fear, could you stop and think for a second about the gloves that the cashiers are wearing are nothing more than a fashion statement and every item they touch transfers whatever Phantom Virus as easily from a rubber glove as it does from a bare hand?

      It's symbolic.

        If a business requests it of the customers, so be it. Their house their rules. I don’t wear a mask but I also haven’t been to a ton of places that I feel I need to.

          https://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/960679?fbclid=IwAR2SbwuMIFSGhWTBxBV1gp9f8k8cFNtz98Ik30ylWGNE9yQPyWjffXUdAQU&section=us&keywords=surgeon-general-adams-masks&year=2020&month=03&date=31&id=960679&oref=m.facebook.com

          And before you freak out yes this is Newsmax. However that doesn't mean that the quotes from the Surgeon General are false.

          But if you don't believe him you are, of course, racist.

              Not really Woody*. Masks are still not necessary but they suggest cloth coverings to keep people who are actually infected from coughing or sneezing virus to others. Masks are still only required for health professionals. By the way the cloth covering Center only a suggestion in places where social dismissing cannot be adhered to. Which would be, exactly, where?

              *?

                  The only reason he said not to wear a mask is because all the Trumptards were buy them in bulk and healtcare workers couldn't even get them.

                        No doubt it's not a huge hardship. But from a practical standpoint how much safer do you think you have made the workplace by wearing one?

                                Exactly  Steve. Who's been stocking the veggies in the produce  department?  Anyone  with covid  sneeze on those bulk carrots? To be truly  effective,  they'd have to change  gloves after each customer and wipe down the checkout  line too. 

                                Some have pointed out mail carriers as a possible vector.  One of my good friends with serious health issues has been quarantining his mail for a couple  days before he  opens it for exactly that reason.  

                                My one big concession to the virus is I wipe my  credit card with sanitizer every time I  use it . Fortunately, I bought a  quart of  it, as I  usually do to refill the small  bottles  about a  month before the  crisis  hit.

                                  I spray the mail with lysol ! and I do clean my credit card with sanitizer, and use a bleach wipe to handle the gas pump handle. I use bleach wipes on all packages we get from the store. When we get Texas Roadhouse steak dinners, pickup, I empty out the food into our own plates, and throw away the foam containers, etc.

                                    I wear a mask every time I go into any store, etc. But I don't use the rubber gloves anymore - I did for the first three weeks - I just use hand sanitizer after getting back into the car.

                                  damn china has to pay for the entire world's suffering and deaths.

                                    This article kind of goes toward your question Woodrow. Yes it's from CNN and yes it's got at least the smell of anti Trump bulshit to it but....

                                          Is it really that big of an inconvenience? Why are some so angered they need to argue and threaten store clerks?

                                          Honestly, can someone fill me in? 

                                          Is it all just a "the government can't tell me what to do!" thing? 

                                          I'm genuinely curious. No alternative motives here. I really want to read your replies.

                                          I'll fill you in.

                                          You must have forgotten that lefties freak out over those not wearing masks. Prominent people not wearing mask are shamed on Twitter.  Pence was ridiculed. Democrats in congress freaked out over Republicans not wearing masks.

                                          So why can't liberals just let people make their own choices and stop acting like they think they know whats best for everyone?
