No, well I did the other day to write an exam. The virus doesn't seem well spread here. We had a month with no new cases, then a single last last week. It seems the odds of running into it are slim, but if those numbers climbed I think I would.
I hear you on this, Zod - it feels pretty safe, being out and about. However, our reopening is going really well so far and I definitely don’t want us to screw it up. If wearing masks allows us to continue to keep restaurants, stores, gyms, schools, etc open while keeping the cases down, then I’m going to wear a mask while I’m out.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
That’s what I don’t get. Why so many don’t wear masks around others as the US is trying to regain it’s economy. If you can’t be motivated by fear out of more death, then think about it financially. The more this spreads again, the chance of stay at home orders coming back, because the hospitals are overrun again. That’s a big motivation why I wear one at work. I get others infected, while asymptomatic, my company could be forced to shut down for a period of time. Then I’m the asshole that screwed over the others who desperately need their income. I have colleagues who wear masks everywhere else, but not at work for politics. I honestly could give a shit about politics, if it’s not protecting lives then it’s about keeping the company going. You can’t have an economy without healthy employees.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.
I do when I am in a store or close to other people. If on a walk with the dog or on a bike ride I do not wear one but move to the other side of the road, if possible, to avoid other people.
Also I golf a lot. So we're required to wear one when checking into the pro shop and going inside. But after that nobody really wears one on the course. I feel weird about that but you can pretty easily social distance on a golf course. Also up until recently we were not permitted to have more than one person in the cart. That rule was lifted but I still opt for my own cart just to be safe.
I fucking hate masks, especially as the weather continues to get more humid. I am having a hard time to find one that fits properly.
The other thing is---how often are you washing yours? After every use? I'm bad at that.
Also I should add that I work from home now and I'm rarely around people other than immediate family (except on the golf course).

I love the sponge in the hole and never having to pull the pin. I don't care what happens in the future, but I'm never pulling a pin again.
If you're wearing a mask for a total of 5 to 20 minutes in a store or picking up food, do you wash it when you get home? Or do you only wash after wearing it for prolonged period of times?

I'm not sure how well that works, but we have a "hamper" where we put our worn masks to throw in with our laundry each week.

So you usually wear one mask a day then?
Pretty much. We bought several fabric masks online, to where we can each have one a day for the week.

Sitting in my car outside the vet waiting for my 15 yr old dog to he checked out. No people in waiting area. Staff and animals only. Must wait outside in car.
My companies headquarters is in VT , so we have a mask mandate at our offices , you have to have one on at all times. Even though we have some very heavy conservatives in our upper ranks ,they realize the science behind masks , also they don't want an office to be shut down because one person whom is A symptomatic gets everyone else sick and our business comes to a halt.
I have five masks that I rotate and wash , I also realized when this first started making your own masks or my sister making them , some were with heavier fabrics that after a while would feel a little much ( nothing like I could not breath through it just a little uncomfortable ) The masks I have now are much more comfortable , wearing them all day does not bother me ( a little but I would rather wear it then possible get sick or others get sick.
People really need to get over this because when it comes roaring back in the fall , I feel every state is going to start mask mandates as they should. When I see shots of bars in FL or TX ( I know they have scaled back ) that were packed to the gills with not one person wearing a mask I was just like " WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING"

Same process at my vet. Makes total sense. Was disappointed because my dog LOVES our vet and I love seeing her jump all over the vet. But separating where possible is the best thing.

If you use it max an hour, spray it with Dettol and leave it on fresh air for some time..only wash them when i get back from work, it's almost 8 hours then..

I ordered some new face masks, the balaclava style ones. Where one can pull it up quickly in order to cover up. I even wear it while I'm driving now especially since things have gotten so bad here in South Florida.
Yet we STILL have folks here who refuse to wear a mask they think the mask is killing us. It's getting really bad here and many don't want to do a thing about it, business as usual.

Here in NY Cuomo signed an executive order that businesses can deny service to those without masks. So, I guess here it is "no shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service". It wouldn't even cross my mind to walk into a business without one. I just can't understand why some are so vehemently opposed to it. I agree they are uncomfortable at times. But I bet being on a ventilator is no picnic either.

From the video some of those folks are say the mask can kill you because one tends to touch your face, eyes etc. So according to them no mask wearing then no touching the face.
You can get an idea of what I'm talking about when the first person up to argue her point. Just listen to what she says in the first 30 seconds. Unreal.

Word to the wise, careful what you wash your mask in as you may be tasting it all day, lol. My wife used some kind of laundry detergent that was scented and it was no bueno!

Yep, our vet doing the same thing. When the tech brought her back out she was laughing about how once they took her into the exam room she began to slink and try and hide in the corner and they had a brief struggle getting her on the exam table. She gets excited going into the waiting area, other dogs to see, but once its time to go into the exam room, the memory of past trips kicks in and she wants no part of it.
By wearing such cool masks, you are making the masks attractive and you are helping to save lives. So great. It's a fashion statement and not a political statement. Big hugs all around; stay safe.

My frustration right now goes beyond measure. I know some of the people mentioned in the article linked below. I've always thought of them as good and wonderful people to have as co-retailers (although I no longer work down town since COVD-19 broke out) in our little town. We never really talk much about politics or social events- mostly about friendly stuff. But now I see them making statements in a press widely circulated in northern California- statements that reveal some of the backwards kind of thinking that permeates this predominately Republican county. I'm appalled that some of the shop owners mentioned in this article would politicize a health crisis and drive away business from other retailers like the bookstore run by people who care and do the right thing.
There is a local group I belong to call El Dorado Progressives. I shy away from joining groups or using labels for myself, but I mostly agree with these folks and see a huge need to help this town to become less conservative and more progressive. Reading the article, this becomes all the more obvious. And the sad thing is, in America, if you want to live in a rural or even semi-rural area, this is the kind of thing you have to live with.
"He refuses to wear one and said he doesn’t plan on getting a vaccination for the coronavirus, if and when it becomes available."
That last part disturbs me the most.
Yes, and these are dangerous people in that they will put their political biases and ideologies above doing what is right by protecting themselves and others from this disease.
