I need this in this thread of bickering that I just started coming in to. Thanks!

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Arguing against masks is an idiot’s chore imo. Just wear them. Not for you, but the not so healthy fella next to you. Some day that fella may be you. Are they a perfect solution? Nah. But until there is one... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it helps to stop the transition of this virus to other people, but with the amount of people I see still touching their masks on their own, wearing them incorrectly, etc, a lot of people are still going to get it. Guidance from work says to treat them as they are contaminated as soon as you put it on. We are to wash hands every time we touch our face, have to adjust the mask, etc. We also should change them twice a shift because the effectiveness will wear off due to the mask getting damp from breathing. Oh yeah, and I am a mouth breather so I tend to breathe in the mask. If I get this thing, it's probably because I have to wear the mask. But I am wearing it because the "experts" said so, even though that community is split on it. But again the reason to wear the mask is to prevent respiratory droplets from being ejected from your mouth toward someone else. Even if its not on 'properly' it'll still form a barrier that will catch these droplets or even if they get through the mask, they aren't going to travel as far. Basically just physics. Touching the mask and messing with it could potentially make you sick but its not going to make someone else sick unless they aren't following the basic precautions of hand washing, using hand sanitizer, and/or not touching their face while in public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 And for anyone who can’t be inconvenienced because they’re uncomfortable, feel free to turn in your man card. ”but muh ears..” Sincerely, RN who wore them every shift for hours for years.

Yep https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/05/masks-covid-19-infections-would-plummet-new-study-says It doesnt have to be everyone. If 80% of people wear a mask in high risk settings like subways and crowded retail stores, that alone will make a huge difference. Again look at Tokyo. Only difference between Tokyo and NYC is masks tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Sorry, my arse is a bit chapped after seeing maybe 2/3 of the people at Lowe’s not wearing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only shopping at Menards right now (as far as big box stores). They have a 100% mask mandate. If you don't have one, no entry. You can buy one at the entrance for $1. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowe’s was a disgrace. if my day wasn’t what it was (sump pump bit the dust and basement flooded) I’d have left and went elsewhere. Just didn’t have the time for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, I'm still going to wear it as long as they are mandated, but I don't like them, nor do I like the fact that so many people aren't wearing them correctly. It is what it is at this point.

That's a Lowe's problem. My Giant has someone posted at the door to remind people and will radio a manager if someone doesn't comply with putting one on.
