    They should wear a lanyard or a badge that says "God dangit!! I've been tested and I'm covid free dangit!!" In smaller font "it's ok if I cough on you"

    Not sure if masks are mandatory anywhere are they? I see people freely walking around, some masked up, some not. In places that have a sign saying be a good egg and mask up. No one gets forcibly removed from anywhere. Not that I've seen anyway.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    The vid didn't really address whether masks are mandatory though did it? They may be, I don't know. You'd have to be inclined to go through every states law for the answer to that. They're not mandatory where I come from.

    Neither of those people would have been arrested if they had a badge or a lanyard. That much is a fact.

    Masks are mandatory in my state. Can include a fine of 150 or something for not wearing one “in public” I have had two negative tests for covid since it hit still need to wear my mask. I wear it at work and shopping but if I’m walking down an empty sidewalk I remove it. I honestly don’t know if it’s breaking the law. I use those light blue medical masks you see Biden wearing now only because I get them supplied free. I honestly don’t think they would do much to prevent me from getting or giving the illness but it keeps everyone happy so wtf. On the two tests I got they hand you paperwork that it is possible to have a false negative or a false positive. I wanted to get an antibody test but I talked to a Dr he told me most of them are as accurate as a coin flip. The exposure rate in my state is .07%. That is after schools opening. They actually sent out a warning that we had a big spike up to 1.6% but then reported a miscount and revised it back to .07%. Don’t ask me the deal with that. I’m bringing someone for a test tomorrow morning at 9:30a. 46% of the people who test positive only know they have it cause they test positive. Yet no doubt I’ll have a few more tests before this is over. I’m not anti mask or call wuhan a hoax or any of that, I think I’m more confused about all this shit than anything else. Companies are now competing to give tests. It’s big industry. 1 billion a week we spend on testing last I heard. You see adverts all over “free covid testing here”.

    Sound like typical behaviour to me. Pop one on when needed. Otherwise don't wear one. I do exactly the same. Do I think it's helping? Yeah, the shops ask for it and it puts other people at ease.

    I wouldn't say I'm against the 'we refuse to wear a mask!!!' each to their own and all that. I do find it utterly pathetic though when people make a big song and dance about it. Especially those that use the Lion amongst the sheep picture 'Me not wearing a mask amongst those that do'. What a hero.

    What state you in?

    CDC mask studies contradict themselves more than Kanye West... so I tend not to hang on their every word when it comes to mask-wearing advice.

    It just seems to me that if we can catch common colds, the flu, or any type of respiratory illness by way of close proximity to sneezing, coughing people...... it stands to reason that masks should help at least a little.

    I certainly don't see where they would hurt.

    One thing is for certain, though. Never in the history of humanity has something so small and insignificant caused such an uproar to the point of violence and hatred, as the plain ol' mask.

    those scenes were more than likely staged. the one with the pregnant lady certainly was. i had to travel into melbourne for something to do with work. on the way back it was raining hard. none of the police at the check points were stopping & checking cars. they were instead preferring to stay dry. if you still believe this bullshit you are a retard
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    i don't know about you, TIC, but once this second wave started up I went out and bought a few crates of San Miguel, a whole load of paellas and a sombrero.

    Now, you may accuse me of Hispanic buying, but I'm not so sure ......

    Masks for what? The Swedes seem to be doing fine. This is how normal people live their lives.

    Cashless society, denying people bank accounts, loss of freedoms. Never cede to that nonsense.

    You are all over the shop. You openly castigated the rest of the world because you assumed they were not wearing masks like you and those in your country. You are and always have been about removing people's freedom and rights.

    Interesting take on things, but no, actually I was supporting Sweden's policies early on and was called out on it. I have seen how pubs are now refusing to accept cash in the UK, how people are being denied bank accounts for opinions, and all the while freedoms are being lost. I do not endorse the removal of people's freedoms or rights.

    People have the right to wear or not wear a mask. It is a personal choice.
