Early in the pandemic I was wearing an N95. Then in may I switched to a surgical mask for comfort. Now I'm back to an N95 because 'roana is roaring here in Houston. I only wear them when I'm inside a business. I don't wear them outside. Honestly I'd say I've got one on for maybe 1 hour a week all combined because I just don't go many places indoors. It's a very minor inconvenience to do my small part to help slow the spread and keep the economy going.

If a business mandates the wearing of a mask and I have to have a product from them, then I will comply. The physics of masks warrants that these are only mind control devices. A bandana or cloth mask is useless to protect you. The best logical practice may be 6' distancing but wearing a cute little masky to look like china is just stupid and more of a mind control device. Do some research on the effectivity of these "masks" for God's sake before you just throw away your freedom and liberty in an effort to fit in with the Starbucks liberal crowd.

Surgeons and doctors and nurses don’t just wear masks because they listened to NPR and drive foreign cars.

A lot of those I observe not wearing are obviously not the liberal crowd - just the opposite. It's more like POOTUS doesn't so I won't either.

Have to at work. Policy. Never in public. I just keep one handy in case I run into a business that requires one.

I wear one if I'm out In public, but not outside...then I practice social distancing...I will also wear one when I return to campus. They are required everywhere except outside and in our own private offices.

We have a local seamstress that makes cloth masks to order for $4 each. Comfortable and affordable. I wear mine for sure at Wal Mart and usually any other indoor venue other than restaurants.

Bob I know you know everything you just said there is false because it's been hashed out a hundred times on this forum. Any sort of a face covering lowers viral load you might get. It'll block some of the virus, the amount will depend on the quality of the mask. Less virus is a good thing. There's good science now to indicate that'll lower viral load will reduce the severity of your infection. Nobody has ever claimed it offers you complete impunity. Furthermore any sort of a face covering dramatically reduces the amount of virus you expel into the environment and the distance it travels. That helps other people. So wearing a face covering offers you some personal protection and a whole lot of protection to others. When you wear a mask and the other guy wears a mask the sum winds up greater than the whole and everyone is vastly better off. Also wearing a mask doesn't make you look like a Chinese person, it just makes you look like a reasonable citizen.

If masks worked they would be mandatory. Until then they're a feel-good gimmick.
