The mask thread

[Silver]

I thought we could use a thread like this for us to share our thoughts and experiences with how we have been handling the mask wearing situation as well as our opinions on others in relation to the same topic.

As for me, I wear my mask in two places since they are the only two places I go on any given day. First, since I have been living at an extended-stay hotel, I wear the mask when leaving the room and the building or entering the building to get up to my room.

Secondly, I wear the masks, yes plural, at work where I am an aide in a nursing home. I wear the mask for eight hours straight, except when I am alone in the bathroom and might need to blow my nose. The reason for the double mask is that the medical issued N-95 mask straps are too annoying, and thus I wear a secondary mask to hold that mask in place. It is actually a great deal easier to breath in than one might think.

I have been making masks for the last few months and have made dozens. I cut fabric today to make about another five dozen. I have given them all away, sending some to people in other states as well as providing a wardrobe of them for my family.

I work from home but have to go to the office at least once a week to pick up checks and paperwork. I wear one of my masks when I go there. The only other places I go are the grocery store, the pharmacy, and the doctor's office for my B-12 shots. I have had to go to the Post Office a couple times to mail out masks. I have three masks in my car and a baggie with about a half dozen masks in my purse and always wear one when I go into those places. Oh, and I wore one a couple weeks ago when I went to the dentist. 90% of the time I am at home but when I do go somewhere I have a mask on when I enter. I hate it, but I do it.

Put em on when I go into the store, take em off when I leave. Not really a situation.

I’m an anti-masker. I’ve been arrested for not wearing a mask. I’ve been kicked out of my local mosque for refusing to wear a mask. I’ve been denied entry on to a public bus for not wearing a mask. I’ve been told I need to wear a mask before entering a hardware stop recently, but I refused. Thankfully that time I wasn’t prevented from entering, I was the only unmasked person.

So you rightly punished for recklessly endangering other people

I beg to differ. I haven’t endangered anyone’s life by not wearing a mask. If lives are so “endangered” perhaps people should stay at home. Civil liberties are being flagrantly disregarded by governments in the name of public health safety. I support Heshy Tischler, he is the right man to lead this new movement. Shame on Cuomo, De Blasio and Doug Ford of Ontario. Bunch of hypocrites and tyrants.

I have 3 masks i made out of high quality washable  material . I also made sure to make multiple internal  layers as to increase the chance of droplet capture . And a worked the edges to ensure a tight seal .

I run a loop of paracord through the ear loops on my masks and connect the ends with a cord lock. No more Yoda-ears. This also allows me to dangle the mask when I'm driving and the like.

No they are freaking not . You don't have the right endanger the public , And there no civil right to a bus or a mosque they can kick you out if they deem you a danger  , And the police have every right to enforce the lockdown rules . No matter how much people like you cry victim .
