Just was thinking, how many "Gulchers" are wearing masks?It si well known that masks do little to keep the wearer from being infected and are primarily beneficial to protect others in case the "wearer" is infecctious?

    In Harris County (Houston) Texas masks are mandatory. Guess what? They can't fine you or do anything if you don't wear one. Been there, done that!

    And now robberies and hold-ups are happening by characters wearing medical masks! Dual purpose: remain anonymous in plain sight and show consideration for your victim!

    It is strange, where I live, we have to wear masks if we want to work. It is astonishing that we are required to acknowledge a falsehood in order to make a living. It is the very definition of evil. I will not wear one of the stupid surgical masks. I am wearing a bandana that looks like I'm ready to rob a bank. Its kind of fun to dress that way, but its ridiculously stupid.

    I wear one when out near others, such as grocery shopping, but I really wonder about the efficacy when one considers most masks prevent viral passage in or out is like putting up a chain link fence to keep mosquitoes out of your yard.

      It is a misuse of masks the way it is being put and used. The proper use of a mask in public is to keep YOUR sick germs/virus off of the surfaces. It does nothing to stop the invasion from the outside.

      Viruses such as and including, SARS2 enter via mucus membranes and orally. On your head the the entry points are: eyes, ears, mouth, and nasal passages.

      You can have a perfect mask the absolutely filters out all viruses, wear it perfectly on your mouth and nose, and still get it because you have unprotected eyes and ears.

      Wear a mask if you are sick in public, not to not get it.
