Town gives in to threats and no longer requires use of masks

I don’t give a **** what kind of mask you wear as long as you wear one. If you want to wear your ignorance and bigotry on your face, the more power to you

Cloth masks do not not filter covid-19.

Cloth masks do not not filter covid-19.

FYI

Cloth masks

While surgical and N95 masks are in short supply, cloth masks are more accessible and reusable. Although cloth masks and N95 masks have different purposes, both are intended to slow the spread of COVID-19. A cloth mask is worn to help protect others in case the wearer has the virus. An N95 mask helps protect the wearer from getting the virus from others.

Countries that required face masks, testing, isolation and social distancing early in the pandemic seem to have had some success slowing the disease's spread. Common sense also suggests that some protection is better than none. But wearing a cloth face mask will lose any value unless it's combined with frequent hand-washing and social distancing.

Cloth masks are cheap and simple to make. Instructions are easy to find online. Masks can be made from common materials, such as sheets made of tightly woven cotton. The CDC website even includes directions for no-sew masks made from bandannas and T-shirts. Cloth masks should include multiple layers of fabric.

How to wear a cloth face mask

Cloth face masks should be worn in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, such as in grocery stores, especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.

Here are a few pointers for putting on and taking off a cloth mask:

Place your mask over your mouth and nose.
Tie it behind your head or use ear loops and make sure it's snug.
Don't touch your mask while wearing it.
If you accidentally touch your mask, wash or sanitize your hands.
Remove the mask by untying it or lifting off the ear loops without touching the front of the mask or your face.
Wash your hands immediately after removing your mask.
Regularly wash your mask with soap and water in the washing machine. It's fine to launder it with other clothes.

The mark of a brutal communist society is the way everyone is forced to support the group-think narrative or be punished for not doing so.

The mark of a brutal communist society is when the minority think they have a right to control the majority

There's a 1st Amendment right to wear a mask with a Confederate flag on it.

There is no amendment right to NOT wear a mask when you’ve been told to. No one has a right to scream into the face of a LEO Without a MASK, spitting their alcohol and cigarette breath in their faces.

Wear the mask with such distinctive designs as: confederate flags, swastikas, MAGA gear made in China, GUNs, all of the other programmed phrases.

This is why getting an education is important. It helps you craft arguments that people can't clearly see through without having any idea who you are.

You should tell them that little detail about yourself that makes everyone oh so sure of how genuine you are.

You know the one. Come on, just so they can put your cheering of these militias into perspective.

Americans who went through WW1 and WW2 and sacrificed to help the war effort, going through rationing and donating tin and other things for crisis of war to support America.

How about all those Gold Star families....their sacrifice to America was losing a loved one in war.

JFK: "And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Americans today: "Oh...I don't like wearing a mask on my face! Oh...I need a haircut and I want to go fishing but I can't, oh, boo hoo! Oh, I have to practice social distancing! Oh golly gosh gee that puts a crimp into my daily routine..."

The Americans of today, especially those on the right....when called upon to sacrifice for the good and welfare of our great nation, the United States of America...you bailed out and became the very entitled, selfish, self-important millenials that you complain about.

Pathetic.

"... At this time, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved any type of surgical mask specifically for protection against the*COVID-19*virus, but these masks may provide some protection when N95 masks are not available. ..."

COVID-19: How much protection do face masks offer? - Mayo Clinic

Note the careful wording..."MAY provide SOME protection". Cloth masks are only for your spit, and then only sometimes protect against spit.

If you're standing in line at the grocery store and someone within 20-50ft has covid-19 and coughs or sneezes, those saliva droplets are too small for a cloth mask to stop.

Only N95 masks are rated against covid-19 and the CDC says not to buy N95 masks.

You have shown no proof to defend your comment that cloth mask don’t help prevent the spread of COVID. The statement you quote was referring to surgical mask, not cloth mask. Each serve a different purpose. Were you purposely being disingenuous or did you just did not comprehend the article. You have no documentation to support your theory about small droplets. The purpose of cloth mask is to prevent to carrier of the virus from sneezing or coughing on you. The carrier should wear the cloth mask and unless to were tested, you have no clue if you are or are not a carrier

I used to live in Stillwater. Good town, glad to see it retrains some people that have the moxie to stand up to overseers. Frankly, I'm so pissed at the stupidity and inconvenience of wearing all sorts face coverings in my current county I have thought of being just about as confrontational as those folks in Stillwater have been.

Innocent healthy people do have rights, all tho you wouldn't know it listening to all the apologists for state sponsored repression.

Intimidation is the antithesis of democracy.

 

[Barnacle]

There isn’t a First Amendment right to expose your fellow citizens to a deadly pathogen. And you can bet there is an army of lawyers out there licking their chops at these events in advance of a flood of gross negligence lawsuits.

Individuals won't be sued, unless they're worth sufficiently for the lawyers to make a worthwhile profit.

But Pelosi is just hoping for exactly that to happen to businesses and organizations ...

“Especially now, we have every reason to protect our workers and our patients in all of this. So we would not be inclined to be supporting any immunity from liability,” Pelosi told reporters at a press briefing.

Unfortunately, any liability suits wouldn't stop with just retail businesses and organizations; doctors, hospitals, retirement homes/communities, soup kitchens, church organizations, first responders, etc. etc. etc.
In other words, the exact people who work the hardest during a pandemic can now be sued ... with Pelosi's blessings.

Why would you not want them to able to sue if their employer doesn't protect them? Should a construction worker be able to sue if they are injured or killed and their employer didn't provide adequate protection from known risks?

Actually, until legislation is passed mandating the wearing of masks, there's no legal way to enforce the wearing of masks. Just "being told to" isn't a law and can't be enforced. So, yes, until there is an actual law passed, the right to not wear a mask is a thing.

Too bad for you that you don't jack **** to say about wearing masks in public.

 

[Eriech]

A mask shows the world around you that you are compliant. Wash your hands and don't touch your face. Don't go out if you are sick.

If you were to wash your hands and imediately put a new mask on and wash your hands before you take the mask off or adjust. It MIGHT be a net plus.
If you are fugly it might be a plus. If your concerned about facial recognition it might be a plus. If you are concerned about giving or receiving Covid19 you are delusional.

I believe OSHA has this defined. The laws are already in place. They need to be tweaked to fit the pandemic.

you are all mixed up about getting the virus and giving it to someone else. N95 masks block the virus from getting in you; it's true, the others don't do that very well.

The other masks catch your fluids (which may contain virus particles) and help keep other people from getting it.

Since we all can't wear N95 masks we all need to be catching our fluids with some other type of mask; not perfect but better than nothing. The idea is we keep the virus as much out of the environment as possible.

in the case of the pandemic, 'adequate' has been fully outlined by the CDC.

it's just loaded with jerks who can't take responsibility for themselves. Think about what you just said - people don't have to do the right thing unless there is a law about it. Imagine how things would be without the government to make those laws.
