    I do quite often w/o a mask on and am left alone. I've never been asked to leave..

    Neat.   Well I can't speak to that experience so I'll just keep playing it cool and low key.

    You also need to understand I don't live in Ohio. Our local ordinances pertaining to masks are probably bit less stringent than yours.

    Well, shit.  Now I am jealous. 

    Admittedly the mom and pops places are pretty cool about it, especially when they're slow.     Went back home for the weekend to see family and hit the local diner before the breakfast rush.  Servers didn't seem to care that we walked in and sat in a booth with only half of our group using masks.   Might have been 10 people total in the restaurant at that point.

    I get chain stores and the like being under the microscope.  Smaller places though, not so much.   It's nice when we see our better judgement being used and not attempt to be over-zealous. 

  • I really don’t consider it rebellious not wearing a mask.

    less and less people are subjecting themselves to such an odd request to wear a peice of cloth on there face.

    making a scene is not a good idea.  Just don’t wear one.  Respect business owners though that do approach you, unless you have a medical issue that prevents you from wearing one.
     

    if you are an anti masker lookin for confrontation than you make everyone look bad.

    i don’t wear one and no one gives me a hard time.  I don’t rub it in anyone’s face either.

  • I try to use common sense. If I am about to enter a bigger outlet (tho I do try to avoid them) like a grocery store or a Lowes/Home Depot I carry a mask with me  because the 6' thing isn't gonna happen in there. If someone were to say something (hasn't happened yet) then depending how they approached me, I would either oblige them or tell them to keep their distance .. Smaller outlets, it's never an issue

    See, our mask ordinance (probably like yours) is not enforceable if you read deep..  I know people that keep it on their phones to show mask Nazis when need be.  I'm lucky, because of my appearance, people don't fuck with me, nor do I with them. 

       I DO however wear my mask into my Bank!!   I've always wanted to wear a mask into a bank.. ?  Back a month or so ago it was like playing Whack a Mole trying to find a BOA branch open around here. I have to do multiple deposits a week.. Well, I had to visit a BOA branch I'd never been in way out east one Monday. So I strolled in with my black pants, black tank top, black hat, black mask, black small duffel bag (full of cash) and sunglasses.. 😁   I wanna tell ya, EVERY head at every desk popped up and the looks on their faces were priceless...  Tellers too, customers,, everyone!! ?

    Tell me you've never wanted to do that ?

  • Well, I won't be using this BOA branch for a little while.. I generally use that branch but was at one out on the island at about the time this happened. ?

  • I've actually seen two people on separate occasions by themselves wearing a fucking mask on the bike trail. I shit you not. I'm not saying you should throw a fit in a store or a restaurant because they asked you to wear one but even you Democrats have to admit it gets ridiculous. No matter how much you love Biden.

    Some people wear it to set a good example, some people wear one because they are at a higher risk than others. I wear one on the bike trail when I ride just to keep bugs out of my face. For the people say "it's my body, it's my choice" when defending themselves for not wearing one, the same can be said for people who do. It's my choice and I will wear one if I want.

    You can do whatever you want. As far as wearing a mask when you're riding a bike or riding in your car alone it makes you look like an idiot. If you do that then you look like an idiot too. And the only people that you would set an example for are other idiots.

    The next day of the trail we saw probably at least six people wearing them. Just for the record they were among the people crammed into the Farmers Market asshole to Elbow picking up every piece of fruit in the place. But hey they had their masks on.

    I'm not bothered much by people who take extreme precautions, even if I don't. And of course you can choose to look like a fool.

    I told you why I wear a mask when I ride, to keep bugs out of my face. I only put my mask on in the car when I pull up to a drive thru window. People should not be calling other people idiots because they don't understand why somebody chooses to wear a mask.  People with compromised immune systems should always wear them.

    Actually we should call people idiots if they believe that wearing a mask is going to keep them from getting anything. (that's not their purposes) Not to mention that since you were bragging about what a tough guy you were I'm surprised that you are decrepit and fear that a bout with covid-19 would do you in. In most cases it's a fashion statement or political badge like wearing a Bidenn t-shirt. Or to be fair the absence of which a Maga hat.

    Since your fairly new I will repeat this. I have no problem with anyone who is seriously in fear for their lives and decides to take Extreme Measures. In fact I urge them to stay home have their shit delivered and wear their masks to bed should they see fit.

    One more time the age group actually in danger is in their 80s. The average lifespan in the United States of America is 78.

    OK, sure Steve. I'm on the high side of 2,000 miles on the bike- and I see folks wearing masks on the trails.  Do I think that's necessary? Not at all.... 

    @westside-steve said:

    January 2021 is 3 1/2 months away right? Even if somebody came out with a vaccine right this minute how long do you think it would take to test it? Pretend Donald Trump supported it for the company that made it.

    WSS

    Well, the drug companies came out and said Trump can go to hell if he thinks he's going to pressure them into releasing a vaccine until it's cleared as safe and effective.  If- as I saw somewhere- just 50% effective passes muster- I'll probably pass...  And then you have the crazies who think it's all a plot by Bill Gates to plant microchips in them.... 

    @axe said:

    Again, like I've said from the beginning.. If this had been a true pandemic, there would be no better vehicle of transmission than currency.

    That's not how it gets transmitted 95% of the time. Even the Fearless Leader said- "it goes through the air".... Inhalation. Ebola is contact .

    You're denying this is a true "pandemic"?  The WHO, any epidemiologists who aren't sniffing Trump butt gas,  and virtually every country in the world disagrees with you..... Closing on 1,000,000 deaths, but believe whatever you want to..... 

  • 1 Beyond unnecessary all the way to ridiculous.

    2 I never expected the president to push any drug or vaccine to Market. One would think that any rational person would like to see it ASAP however. I never heard any pharmaceutical company to tell him to go to hell. I think some of you people are being naive dancing in circles around a vaccine. Seriously any of you who are deep into the panic and it's not just for political purposes imagine if you were given the opportunity to test the vaccine.  That would mean  you have a 50-50 chance  of it being a placebo. After that who knows what the percentages would be as to whether it works or not.  Then you would be infected with the virus and see how it works. So tell me how scared are you?  Because most of the people of the test  will get  the virus. Try to imagine it's not all just about Trump. What would you seriously do?

    3 oh good we're arguing semantics.
