Do you say anything to anti maskers in public?

I do, and so far all I have had happen to me is being yelled at. Just today at a tiny mom and pop shop, I waited outside the door for an idiot to leave who was not wearing a mask in the store. The lady who works there had propped open the front door, and said to me from behind the counter, "You can come in" a couple of times. I said "No, I'll wait". The guy knew I was talkin about him, and as he left, like a fucking self entitled brat said, "run, run" to me . I said , "wear a mask, wear a mask" and he responded, again like a self entitled little brat, " you have no right to tell me what to do."
And the guy who hosted me both trips to Australia, he has that same mindset too. He posted a meme of sheep wearing masks, with a pic below of a lion not wearing a mask. Really childish shit to me.

Well, we're a tad smarter than the average Yank, it would seem.
We're some what on top of containing the spread of the thing. Though it's still going around.
Out in the general public? It's not cmpulsory to wear a mask but people are keeping their social distances as best they can.
At work? When some one rocks up with out heir mask on I generally lead with;
"Thank you so much for not giving a fek about my health. Your attitude is so caring for others."
They kind of blink and generally reach for where evevr they've stashed their things.
All the best where you are Brian37.

I'm smarter than you.
I stay away from the public.
I did have to go to the pharmacy last week to pick up a script. Wore mask. Used hand sanitizer.
Stayed the fuck away from people.

My late friend who died a couple of years ago, it was his brother I was talking about who still lives in Australia who posted that meme.
Although Australia has handled it better, guys like him whom have the potential to undo their progress.

I live in Michigan where everyone, their mother, their mother-in-law, their kids and their pets has a gun. I say nothing to anyone. I don't look anyone in the eye. I just put distance between us. If the store won't enforce masks, tell the store manager about it. I would do that.
I did go to the grocery store last week (first in months) and everyone was masked, although I did see a nose family. The whole family, including the kids, had their noses out.

I stuck my finger in a guy's nose when he gave me shit about wearing a mask. He wasn't ready for that.

The nose part drives my SO bonkers

Well.. I hope the fekker lives up in Queensland. We could do with a few less of those stupid, fekking banana benders.
Of course, the stupid fekkers down in Melbourn can't find their @rse with any amount of hands as their massive outbreak and lock down shows.
Which is not to say Sydney/NSW is off scott-free. We were been letting the fekking cruise ships dock thanks to our illustrious 'Govmint' officials not possibly being influenced by buisness interests.
Again, all the best to you and yours Mate.

Yes it is a risk, and I cannot tell you how to react. I don't blame you. I usually don't say anything if there is enough distance. But if someone gets too close to me, getting the virus and dying would be painful like being beat up or shot. Dead is dead in either case.
Most of the time when I suddenly dodge someone being an idiot, they simply think I am a coward. I could care less. If it gets the asshole to back off, let them think that.

I say lots of things to unmasked people in public. Things like, ‘Excuse me, did you drop this? and, ‘Beautiful dog - what’s her name?’ But if you mean do I try to pick fights with the unmasked, then no.
