I suggest you watch this video. It shows comparisons of wearing mask and not wearing a mask. It's pretty eye opening and shows what happens when someone breaths in and out. The Schlieren Imaging shows exactly what's going on. The mask may not stop everything. But it certainly does limit things. Wear the mask.
Masks only slow the virus down.
The problem is, the virus isn’t going to simply vanish.
So when the virus is finally slowed enough, we get to take off our masks. Which will only create an increase of spreading the virus. Especially, since ALL of our immune systems have now been COMPROMISED — from wearing masks!
It’s called logic and reasoning. You succumbing go masks NOW — will essentially lock you into wearing them for the rest of your damn life!
Masks come off = virus comes back strong
Time for another lockdown and mandatory masks
Wash, rinse, repeat
You people don’t know what you are signing ALL of us up for.
If ATS is still around in a couple years, I will be back to smear this in your face.
S & F Excellent OP!
Masks only slow the virus down.

Yes that's the whole point. It's to slow the virus down until we have ways to deal with it. Texas hospitals are already turning away patients that need ventilators because icu's are at capacity.
Logic and reasoning says. Listen to nurses and doctors.
Wear a mask.

Nazi era germany forced the wearing of the Judenstern (Jewish Star) upon its jewish population much like we are being forced to wear masks. It’s not a choice. It has become “lawful orders”. And well, we all know what ultimately happened to the jewish during the 1940s in germany. Those that refused to wear the Judenstern were faced with death.
During that time, it was by shooting. During our times, since we have some laws still protecting us against that(for now), those that refuse to wear masks are sentenced to death by having your most basic needs essentially cut off since, here in Washington, businesses are required to refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask. Some say “it’s just a mask. You’re showing you care about people by wearing it. You should be proud to wear it”. I’m sure back in nazi germany those same people would say “its just a symbol of your religion, you should be proud to wear it”. The point is, it is something that should not be enforced by law. It should be a choice.
When you are forced to wear something that segregates you from your community and the very very many people who have views like mine, the reasoning for why it is forced becomes quite clear. To seperate those will openly rebel against unlawful orders vs the ones who blindly follow like sheep. Many people have their ways to protest. Many like to be loud and vocal. Sometimes violent. Many will ignore these orders as a form of non-confrontational silent protest. I take the latter path. I will not wear a mask, and hope others follow my lead when they see me not doing so and forego the mask requirement as well(unless of course they are on a high risk category and feel they need it).
It’s a form of segregation. Something we “abolished”, is now making its way back into society, just in a new form. We’re segregating libertarians from everyone else. Libertarians are the greatest threat to both the entire Left/Right system as a whole, since they only care about actual freedom while maintiaining a functioning and fair government.
I know many of you will say i am over reaching with my comparisons. But honestly, it’s just how i see it. There are many parallels. Many local governments are fight back against the fed gov by imposing fascist type mandates. At least where i am at anyway. Fortunatey in my area, local law enforcement has stated they will not enforce it, as they see it to be a violation of constitutional and civil rights.

Would be nice if people could avoid you. You sound like a real jerk. "Sorry, your health is not worth my mild inconvenience." I love reading stories about how people like you catch it and cry about the jerks they were. No sympathy for jokers like you. I only wish hospitals were allowed to refuse service to people like you.

My nurse friends are saying the same thing. Wear a mask.
Are they spreading propaganda as well?
