I dont mind that culture, but why does that very tough culture have to be very dumb?

Something went wrong, we can have both, like you can be tough and wear clothes and hats and sunglasses, but somehow we became so dumb we thought masks were different.

Its not like anyone in the military will tell you to ever go into battle without a helmet on.

God forbid you wave a gun around while telling a joke to these people.

But asking someone to wear a 3x5 inch cloth around their mouths? Satan worship.

I don't think anyone would have a problem if you don't wear a mask at your own risk, but without a mask the chances of infecting others are greater.

Harm yourself if you want or because you dont believe in it, but dont pull others with you

When you harm yourself you’re acting against your own rights, harming a unit of society and removing peer pressure against self harm. There is a social and economic burden on self harm so it’s not entirely true to say ‘I’m only hurting myself’.

you're right.

anyway, these dumb fucks who dont wear a mask in stores etc. think that their feelings are more important than other peoples rights and health. So fuck them, I wont feel sorry if they get infected, but I hope karma fucks them deep if they infect others because they dont care.

Serious question for the pro mask brigade. How many times a day do you wash your hands for the full 20+ seconds? Also do you still try and social distance regardless of masks or not?

Masks do help but not nearly as much as distancing. Both of those combined are less important as washing your hands.

Coronavirus spreads primarily through airborne particles, and though it can be contracted through fomites, it is far less likely. Washing hands is important but not as important as EVERYBODY wearing a mask and social distancing. That's what has kept it at sane levels in the rest of the world, and that's why it is totally out of control here.

Can you please explain to me how the fuck you have access to all the knowledge and information in the world, right at your fingertips, yet still somehow end up being against masks? Why do you think other countries have this under control, but we don't? Why can't you understand that as part of your social contract you have a civic duty to wear a mask just like you have a duty not to drive drunk, dump used oil or battery acid in the drain, or put your mouth on the drinking fountain nozzle?

This is you

At this point I feel like people are just doing it out of spite because, being stupid, they sided with Trump and came down on the wrong side of this issue and planted their feet in the ground early on when it wasn't necessarily obvious to someone with only half a brain. Explains all the childlike tantrums and melt-downs when they go out in public and have to experience first hand how stupid they are when poor store clerks have to force them to wear a mask.

But the 20 seconds is an article of faith as well! They didn't put coronavirus on someone and then had them wash for 10 seconds and then they went nuh uh let's do 15 seconds next. They just picked 20 seconds because those are the existing guidelines for other contaminants. Maybe we need 45 seconds because it's sticky; we just don't know.

And the whole hands are the vector is just supposition too! Maybe airborne transmission is the main vector and your hands don't matter that much cause it just lands on your eyes or goes right up your nose through the space in your flimsy mask. They didn't put coronavirus on people and have them pick their noses either.

Everyone is guessing. You can follow Yahweh or Ba'al, it's your choice as always. Tablets on your face or a golden calf up your ass, surely something will protect you.

Completely agree social distancing is the key.

As a career everquest player I always maximise my time spent at home, and minimising exposure to others.

Generally I'll only don the mask when entering enclosed spaces with non-household members. It is very rare I go in such a place as we are able to procure most things online (Amazon on the up and up). AFAIK the only time I've been indoors, besides my own house, is when I had to get a tyre replaced on the car.

Regarding hand washing, 20 seconds works because it lets you sing 'God Save The Queen' enough times to invoke the mystical protection of The Lady.

It's basically the same reason Brettonnians in Warhammer always took the second player turn, and the severity of corona in the states is USA's karma for forsaking the eternal Woman-Emperor of Britainkind.

1. Covid is a hoax.
True or False

2. You should (select all that apply)
a. practice frequent hand washing
b. wear a mask properly in public
c. practice social distancing

At this point if you get any of these questions wrong you should just be deleted. Like literally deleted from this earth. Even if you don't adhere to them 100% of the time, just knowing and believing the right answers is a win. If you know the right answers but you're just trolling/nuthugging your political party because that's what you call fun then at least you're not full retard.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.
