First time I walked into a store in NJ without a mask in months and it felt great! I’m done with this thing.

Hey you anti-maskers, give me your advice..:)-
I had Cov-19 earlier this year, I recovered pretty much and I don't know if that now makes me a carrier liable to infect others.
So now I always wear a mask when going into shops to protect other people even though it's a hassle because it makes my glasses steam up.
So if you and your family was shopping in the same shop while I was there, would you be happy if i didn't bother to wear a mask?
Below: me in my mask.. :cool:

more info on the ineffectiveness or harm of mask wearing..
Masks Being Ineffective or even Counter-productive (Source: CDC Study May 2020)..

People can always shop around for a good comfortable mask..:)
My union jack mask is VERY lightweight material, almost tissue-thin and porous and I hardly know I'm wearing it.
Never in a million years would I buy a thick heavyweight mask or I'd feel like I was suffocating.
Below: mine-

The government doesn't require me to drink, smoke or eat gmo.
Just because they're not putting a gun to your head doesn't mean they're not forcing you, not to mention their harm is much more well documented. I'll believe you all, if you make just as big a deal about vaccinations when the time comes, until then, you're no better than children acting up because their toys were taken away.

No, they are not forcing me. I know how to read a label. Also, they have documented that tobacco with chemicals is bad, not that tobacco alone is bad (just for thought).

I'm pretty sure most all of us have made a big deal about vax. You're just twisting and being petty.
I meant smoking, and drugs in general, not just tobacco, and If you (not you you) think tobacco is good, then there's no credibility to your protesting of mask and quarantine laws.
Also, it's one thing to write bout something, it's another to take actions.

The ONLY thing the dumb politicians should be monitoring is the DEATH RATE.
Here's the latest chart for Britain which shows deaths peaked in spring, then the government brought in social distancing and masking, and the death rate petered out to almost nothing through the summer, indicating we'd got the virus licked, so far so good.
But then the govt started scaremongering by talking about "positive testing" blah blah and brought in very severe unnecessary restrictions that have alienated the public, so people started saying "We've had enough of this nonsense" and began ignoring the restrictions, and the death rate has now started climbing again.
My point is that the govt should have looked at this chart in summer and said "Yippee, masking and social distancing is working fine, so let's just leave it at that" instead of panicking and messing us about..:)

What actions would you suggest?
Not doing anything that might get you submitted to a hospital (or similar), as something is going on, distancing (I hate the overuse of social), not going out unless absolutely necessary, and when it is so, wearing a mask.

Is that Mask Giving You Lung Cancer? It’s Criminal to Force Children to Wear
Masks all Day

I happen to know a thing or two about masks and safety.

Why? Because for 25 years I was the editor of an award-winning trade magazine
called HazMat Management that covered such topics as pollution prevention and
compliance with health & safety laws.

We routinely published articles on masks, gloves, respirators and other forms of
personal protective equipment (PPE).

Now let me tell you a few things about that mask you’re wearing.

And please note that what I’m about to share was also stated in the most recent
edition of Del Bigtree’s program The Highwire when two OSHA mask experts spoke
to the fact that the kinds of masks people are wearing were never (never!)
designed to be worn for long periods and doing so is very harmful.

The blue typical mask depicted in the photograph contain Teflon and other
chemicals.

A Facebook friend reminds us:

1. Masks are “sterilized” with Ethylene Oxide — a known carcinogen. Many
teachers in various school boards have been experiencing significant symptoms as
a direct result of the effects of this chemical.

2. The masks contain (not sprayed with) PTFE which makes up Teflon along with
other chemicals. I found and have posted the US patent to allow manufacturers to
use PTFE as a filter in commercial masks… “breathing these for extended periods
can lead to lung cancer.”

Don’t agree? Argue with the experts at OSHA, which is the main US agency, i.e.,
its Occupational Health & Safety Agency.

If there are elders, people w/immune system issues or other health considerations, I glady wear it. if for nothing else, to help keep their stress levels lower. And if there is a biz that requires it, I either put it on or dont go in... Im not about to start a scene or flop on the ground wailing about something that wont change either way.

But outside of that, enough is enough. I wont be bullied, shamed or cajoled into wearing the lie

The new trend in my town seems to be to not wear a mask until you see someone coming towards you, then, when you come closer put the mask on and take it off again once you passed them...if you're that paranoid, why not actually cross the street (I'm talking about empty easily crossable streets) instead of looking at people not wearing it as if they're criminals?
They don't even step aside, just give you angry looks...

It appears the phenomenon is becoming more about aggressive virtue-signaling/confrontation/condemnation than actual health concerns. Im noticing that quite a few "progressives" feel all emboldened to have big Gov. on their side for a change and are hyper-aggressively flagging out any perceived opportunity to try and check others.....
