Should people still be wearing masks everywhere? Are they?

Why did her color matter to Biden? You didn't question him, when he said he was going to appoint a black woman. Color was top priority for BIDEN, not me. Focus your attention on the true racist!

He said he would do this when he campaigned, too.

Yes, in some conservative's opinion any appointment of a black person to a position of authority when a white person could have been, is racism. Happens a lot; and guess what, they're the racists...
Remember the shit Obama and his family took, and are still taking, because they are black? God forbid a black man should be elected to lead your pristine lily-white country.

He ruined America too. I guess that was his white half that did that though

When you go out, what percentage of people do you see are still wearing masks?

Are you still wearing one when you go out? Do you think everyone should still be wearing them? Inside, outside, schools, other specific places?

Please discuss.


For me, I don't wear one anymore anywhere. I see a handful of people, maybe, when I'm out and about wearing them but it's pretty much over here.

Some but not all store employees still have them.

I see signs that say "if fully vaccinated you don't have to" in some places, including at the local pharmacy chain store where I got my vaccination.
 
Should they still be wearing masks? We, husband and I, have come to the conclusion that a polite society doesn't spit in each other's faces.

I live in So. Cal., and from my observations, less than 10% are wearing them anymore, and I'm counting the people I see working at stores and restaurants who might still be required by their employers.

I also live in SoCal but it depends on where you are here with the masking thing. Even during the height of covid I saw very few people in Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and other Orange County conservative areas bothering to wear masks, not even indoors. But in Los Angeles, Pasadena, and especially in the highly Asian concentrated San Gabriel Valley, most people were wearing masks, and in terms of Chinese people I would say most of them are still wearing masks.

Not sure with the Chinese folks if is is fear, indoctrination, superstition, or what. But in Chinese communities you still see families wearing masks in cars together, and even people outside wearing masks.

I mother lives near a lot of Chinese people and it is funny because I don't wear a mask anywhere, and when I'm in that part of town on the sidewalk I have literally had people coming the other direction walk out INTO THE STREET to avoid coming near me--- this is OUTSIDE LOL!

Derp.... Because it has been shown time and again. Because the experts did the science.

Feel free to ignore all that though.

The only "science" that was done was political science. Experts were kicked to the curb unless they supported the political science.

The Chinese people wear masks because masks reduce viral transmission-the same reason all normal people wear them.

Nah, that isn't what I am seeing here. Chinese people walking ALONE outside, or in their cars ALONE, or wearing them around their own family unit is some other thing going on there. Either superstition, or maybe fear of being singled out as one unwilling to comply? Compliance is a big deal in Red China, you don't comply, or you think for yourself, and you are an enemy of the state.

For what it's worth, paper and cloth masks are virtually useless with covid anyway, and we have known that for well over a year. So, wearing them just.....well, kind of makes people look stupid.

I see that here in NoCal too-people wearing masks while they are alone in their car or outdoors walking alone. I think there is a LOT of misunderstanding about when it’s useful to wear a mask (and when it doesn’t make any sense) and about what kinds of masks are helpful.
We haven’t done a good job of educating people in that regard. And the amount of unhelpful misinformation isn’t helping the situation at all.

No, he rescued America from the deepest recession since the Great Depression, created, I might add, under a Republican administration. Naturally Trump claimed the credit for someone else's achievements.

Bottom line on this whole mask thing is that The Fauci failed everyone on day one when he said masks were not necessary.

We should fire him, like we did with Trump

Incompetence should come at a price
