Why Freak Out Over Masks?

    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.

    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.

    oh so they're snowflakes, got it

  • 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?

    1) Pence was in a literal hospital

    2) The choices other people make affect more than just those people

    3) Medical experts

  • Who is freaking out about masks? ?

    No one around here...

    Why has no one asked the OP that simple yet poignant question?

    Great point. It's a false narrative he makes up, to be able to look superior to humans.

    It's a birdbrain malady - a disease that manifests itself in a rash of stupid questions and a

    feverish desire to setup a chance to smart off about something he doesn't have to know anything about.
