Yep, unless your choice could have detrimental effects on others.
Easier to control flow and facilitate social distancing.
that argument is out the door with all those masks with a exhale vent.
All the more reason to wear your own.
People made those kinds of choices prior to the WuFlu and will long after society finally accepts this for what it is and learns to live normally again.
Add Stillwater to the list of mask mandated cities.
Nobody on my side is looking for empathy or feeling like a "victim". I don't have those feelings. Its a disability and one has to learn to deal with it and move on through life as best as one can.
I was just explaining how it works in the public forum.
Your totally wrong when you say people do not make fun of those with disabilities. Between myself and my son in a wheel chair because of a serious accident, we can tell you stories you don't want to hear and millennial's are not innocent. The most compassionate are the senior citizens because they know and understand.
Yep, put on a mask and a lot of us lose the ability to communicate with others. By product of this stupid mask thing.
Every Restaurant I've been to in several states recently have most of the serving staff wearing the mask around their chin or with the nose exposed. Meets the requirements I guess to wear one.
That was a great thing they did. Congrats to Oklahoma citizens to make that happen. I'm proud of them.
No offense intended Hoddy. I never said people don't poke fun, I suggested only the lowest forms of life do so. I stand by that. It takes a real POS to make fun of a person with any disability. I must have misunderstood you when you mentioned embarrassment due to your condition. I'm glad you don't get the feels over it. I meant what I said, the reading lips thing is a good argument to mask mandates. I just found the loophole ADA guideline around it and couldn't resist.
How in the hell would a clear mask stop any virus or face shield? It just disperses the virus in different directions upon exhale or cough. A fan or breeze behind the server would blow it right onto the person in front of them. How can the mask/face shield help with that scenario?
Wearing masks is a joke. The majority wear one with the nose exposed or around their chins. See it every day and I'm moving around the country right now, not stuck in some liberal enclave or conservative fortress.
The "experts" can't even come to a conclusive decision if masks help or not. I get news feeds every day from liberal and conservative news outlets. The lack of knowledge and conflicting discussion about the effectiveness of masks does not ride across political lines. CNN, WAPO. NYT, and FOX all have conflicting reports on the effectiveness of masks. Highly rated epidemiologists from the greatest medical facilities can't agree no matter their political orientation.
WHO says masks are not effective. Remember that? Then they said they were effective. Which is it?
It has nothing to do about helping others around you when wearing a mask as no mask would or can stop all of the viruses be it influenza or the rona.
The mob has morphed that into stop one virus might save a child just like all the other stupid arguments they come up using that analogy.
Meanwhile the same mob advocates killing unborn children by the millions and has no issue with mobs rioting in the streets.
You see how that works?
