Why do so many Americans refuse to wear face masks? Politics is part of it — but only part

A lot of different opinions on mask wearing. Prominent virologist on the news said the other day that it isn't effective. We dont wear them on ambulance calls. The nurses and doctors Ive been in contact with on those calls havent been wearing them. Im not wearing one but if I see 5 people in a month thats a busy month for me this season.

IMO, that was a very poorly written article that said little to nothing of substance.

The first comment shown after the article was much better written than the article itself!

You don't dare try to enter a store without wearing a mask, but if you use a brick, you're A-ok.

I dont wear a mask unless I am in a private business that requires it. If I need something from you I will follow your rules. If left to my own devices I will choose not to wear one. No big deal.

On a side note read a summary of a study this week that asymptomatic people have been shown to not be able to spread the disease. Even when coughing or sneezing in a lab environment.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

I would like to think your side note is true but we have been fed so much misinformation about this virus that I have a very hard time putting any faith in anything the media publishes be it pro or con. If true, that would certainly not seem to fit the agenda of the left and their media.

Wear a covid mask while you're sanding sheetrock, and see how much dust still gets through the mask. A virus' particles are much smaller than sheetrock dust particles. We've all been bamboozled. And if masks work, a person wearing a mask shouldn't be worried about anybody else.

If you've shot up many cars, you know the only parts that will usually stop a bullet are the T frame and the engine block and you can still get a bullet through those now and then, especially when shooting higher powered ammo with a steel cylinder embedded in the lead. In a shootout if given the choice of standing face to face, or behind the car, probably everybody would still choose to have the car between them and someone shooting at them.

A mask works the same way. It doesn't stop every virus, but it stops a lot of them, especially because viruses are trapped in relatively large and heavy globules of saliva and mucous.

I thought the article was poorly written too.

I have been trying to catch the virus before my body gets too old and decrepit to fight it off. The only thing masks will do is drag out the inevitable. The faster people are exposed, the shorter the time period we will have to deal with it. I'm convinced, this scare tactic is being laid out to keep a certain basement dweller in his basement and provide an excuse for mail in ballots in November. I'll bet $10 nobody is saying anything about masks by Thanksgiving.

Personally I see most of this as so much BS. Not that Covid isn't real or that there is a risk of death, however slight.

Take the local Walmarts for example. At least four entrances in normal times. Now just one so everyone gets to herd in through a cattle chute for their daily dose of rona. To up the odds even more they restrict hours so what would have been spread over 24 now occurs in half that time. They say it's to clean but seriously, Walmart and clean don't belong in the same sentence.
I'm a graduate of the US Army Nuclear, BIOLOGICAL and Chemical Warfare School and 99% of what I'm seeing is more psychocological ops and political sabotage than anything else.

if masks work so good, why didn't the prison system give the inmates masks instead of releasing them?

Well I would rather be conservative and play safe and lose and you say I'm just an old fool, than for you to lose because of your liberal gambling and it be your demise!

Now that's a good question.
