REGARDING:
“Remember when you were a kid, in cold weather you could “see” your breath? You didn’t have to cough or sneeze, just open your mouth. That’s happening all the time, but the droplets go much further if you speak”

ACTUALLY, those aren’t droplets. They form droplets when the water vapor condenses. Water vapor doesn’t carry viruses

@Tabby – Remember when you were a kid, in cold weather you could “see” your breath? You didn’t have to cough or sneeze, just open your mouth. That’s happening all the time, but the droplets go much further if you speak, and even further if you yell, laugh, sing, and further yet if you cough or sneeze. There are actually videos of this online which show just how far these droplets are spread. Each person needs to contain their own droplets while protecting themselves from someone else’s.

All,
Just to be clear, the point of wearing a face mask is NOT to protect yourself as much as it is to protect others from you. When we talk, breathe, laugh, sing, cough or sneeze, we emit a cloud of small droplets of spit. These droplets contain any germs (bacteria and virus) that you have at the time. If you are wearing a face mask, much of these droplets are stopped by your mask, preventing those droplets (along with bacteria and virus within) from landing on surfaces that others will touch and keeps others from breathing in these droplets. Refusing to wear a mask in public right now is selfish. As a healthcare worker, I wear a mask 8 hours a day straight. I assure you, it won’t kill you to wear a mask while in public, but it might kill the person next to you if you don’t.

I just can’t grasp why people are so worried about me not wearing a mask. Want to protect yourself, put a mask on. My not wearing one isn’t gonna affect you. Unless of course, your one of the idiots wearing the single use masks that clearly states on the box it in no way protects from COVID-19. “But it makes me and those around me feel good”. Ha !

And next it will be, “It’s just a vaccine, it’s just a registration, it’s just a simple tattoo 9n your forehead.” If we don’t stand for freedom now, there will be nothing left later on.

I went to Lowe’s recently and wore my mask. I noticed that the majority of the other customers were also wearing their masks. However, there were quite a few people who did not have on any type of mask. Why have rules which are intended to protect people, when the store doesn’t follow through with enforcement. Either ask those customers to wear a mask (provided by the store), or ask them to leave the store.

@tom- If you already have breathing issues, it’s probably not a good time to be in stores. You won’t like a ventilator either.
