Hi.
I understand of course that the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic is still on today, but I was wondering, although it is necessary and a government regulation still and all that, is anyone else kinda tired of wearing masks all the time these days? In shops, at work, on buses and taxis and even outside sometimes?
I am, in a way.
I miss the days before masks. I hate those damned things.
They get hot and moist, the upper edge keeps irritating my lower eyelids, they slip and slide around, I can't eat with them on, no way in hell would I wear one of those when exercising, normal exertion and breathing is bad enough; and I know for a fact they don't actually stop the virus! In fact the only reason I wear one of those goddamned things is so I can go grocery shopping or just shopping in general, since they won't let you into the stores where I live without one.
Someday, when they give up this stupid mask rule, I fully intend to take every mask in our house out to the nearest bonfire and join in by throwing them in there. Nothing would be more satisfying than watching those goddamned face diapers go up in smoke.
Which fact do you know that they don't stop the virus?
shareScience.
shareUh huh. Which study? When did it come out?
shareNo study needed. Microns are units of measurement. A virus is smaller than any mask you can put on your face that isn't 100% outside airtight.
This is hard science, not "i FuCkInG lOVe SCIENCE!"
No one is saying that they stop the virus completely, yet masks help slow the spread as they help prevent the droplets from travelling. By wearing a mask you are preventing the distance the droplets can travel, hence why we are to also stay 6 feet apart from one another. Also why we are still to be washing our hands. When a person sneezes their respiratory droplets can travel almost 30 feet. Studies have shown that masks greatly reduce that distance, and there are multiple studies.

No one said it was 100 % effective, (at least not that I've heard) but with wearing masks, keeping distance, and washing hands it greatly helps reduce the spread.
shareNope. I can’t wait for wearing two masks to be mandated!
shareI first wore a gaiter because I had one already and that was annoying but when I switched to a cloth mask I usually forget I have it on. Except sometimes when my glasses fog up.
shareConsidering the cold,the mask is welcome. It's been almost 1 year,of course this is got old long ago.
shareNo. I have a double mask set up. N95 + cloth, but I am running low on N95. Second best is paper mask and 3 ply cloth. The new variants are scary. I am not eligible to get the vaccine yet but that only prevents covid disease, not covid. I don’t want to ever catch it.
shareYes I am. I am tired that so many stores are closed, no to be able to drink a coffee in the city or to go to the cinema with friends or to a restaurant or to visit another country.
NO...THE OPPOSITE ACTUALLY...I ALREADY HAD ISSUES WITH THE GROSSNESS OF PEOPLE...I KIND OF ENJOY WEARING/EVERYBODY ELSE WEARING A MASK....MY INNER HOWIE MANDEL IS QUITE CONTENT WITH THE CURRENT SITUATION.🤔
shareI find the hypocrisy to be really weird down here. For example, I have to wear a mask in a crowded shopping centre or on public transport. BUT then I can sit in a cafe or restaurant etc and not have to wear a mask at all nor do I have to wear a mask in my work place as long as I can social distance.
I get it to some extent but it just seems silly too. I could just as easily get CoVid by sitting in the cafe as I can on the train and we have extremely low numbers down here at the moment too.
