I've seen people ask others about why they put their immune system compromised child at risk for selfish reasons. Response was /2
SpookyPillows
"I don't care about your child" That's what these people are like. They care not for the whole, just their tiny discomfort issues.

Like I get wanting things "normal", but I'm am absolutely not putting others at risk if I dont have to. Especially since my whole life

I've been asymptomatic with just about everything. People around me get sick, but I don't. So I've definitely got to pay attn to what I do.

That's fucked sorry. I live in the Bay Area and everyone wears a mask indoors and I've yet to see anyone argue the policy.
ahhssha
Peninsula area and it’s the same but once you leave the bay it’s a whole different ballgame.
Brutsarge
Anyone who doesn’t wear a mask is giving the “big FU” to every single person around them. They’re saying “I only care abt me..you can F off”

In Tennessee where I live, most people aren't wearing masks anymore.

CT has the lowest infection rates in the US rn. Why? Because masks are required, stores are limiting capacity, and we have limited dining.
KDC0982
We just started dining in so let’s see...

Wednesday. I ate at my favorite seafood place Saturday but only because they have outdoor seating. If they didn't we were eating in the car.

I mean you can make them, it's the law that you can kick people out of your store.

Bc some people have legit medical reasons they cannot wear a mask, & we can’t ask about medical conditions, we can’t kick people out. 1/

That’s what the lawyers for my company have said. Lots of other companies are in the same bind. Not worth getting sued, unfortunately. 2/

Ofc in a logical country, those unable to wear masks bc of med issues prob wouldn’t be out in public during a pandemic. But this is America!

The hippa (or w/e) law for that only requires a "reasonable accommodation" not the "requested accommodation" so you can force them to leave.

A mask
whatisthisproductivityyouspeakof
In Ohio (Dayton), I see them fairly often in grocery stores. In any other store, they're almost non-existent. Probably why we were the state

hot spot for a bit.
catsandcoke
Same here.
Vaanhalen
Yeah this is like a fake problem. Generally everyone everywhere is wearing masks and stores offer masks made of t shirt material when there
LeSethX
Where I live, some people were wearing masks in January, but other parts of the country, not so much.
KingdomKarts
It's not fake, just location-dependent. Almost everyone wears masks in stores near my home. But masks are rare near my parents.
Bmxrider70763
In texas, restaurants are open inside. They are requiring you to wear a mask until your drinks get there. After that no masks required.
HvacSteve1
Same thing where my wife works. The only time the customer has to wear a mask is waiting in the lobby or going to the restroom.
colomtnguy
Same rules in Colorado and Utah. I think this is what most areas are going with.
socksandflops
Maybe in your city. I was in Dallas all week and I did not see that once
Bmxrider70763
I'm in downtown Dallas. I ate at a restaurant yesterday and witnessed this.
Bmxrider70763
What's the point? Is the virus somehow less virulent when you're eating? The mask rule is only theater. Restaurants shouldn't be open.
kevinallover
"Well you're shoving food in your mouth, so the virus can't come out at the same time, right?"
travisdylan
"Until your drink gets there." The alcohol in your beverage kills the virus. It's like gargling with bleach /s
Bmxrider70763
I'm for wearing masks. I'm against the stupid rules that randomly relax a mask being required because it cancels out time you wore one.
LeftyLeftLeft
Trump supporters do not care. Until it's them.
cakeordeathdeathimeancake
I know many Trump supporters who wear masks, I know a lot who don't. I also know Dems who don't & those who do. Its individual stupidity.

Only Trump supporters don't wear masks. Trump caused this. He is bad man.

My mom is convinced masks will make people sick and that's what will cause the second wave. Thanks Facebook.
rooster009
The first wave has to end for there to be a second wave. Thanks to people not wearing masks we're still in the first wave.
MaterNyx
But.... Hooow?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
They don't understand how it works. They think that because the mask traps any virus/bacteria coming out of your mouth, they'll be /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
breathing it in and that will make them sick. But anything you're breathing out is *already* in you. You're *already* sick. Ignorance. /2

Oh no. I’m breathing my own germs. That were already in my body. Sheesh. Idiots.
cakeordeathdeathimeancake
Yeah this shit is fucking stupid, how can people not wear a mask, its not hard, its not expensive, it hurts you in no way and helps EVERYONE

showmeyourAorBhole
Because fuck your that’s why

The fact the CDC came out and said it doesn't do anything is the thorn in everyone's side. The same as saying asymptomatic people can't (1)0

spread it. The shoot-off-the-hip statements are the biggest hindrance.
cakeordeathdeathimeancake
The CDC recommends you ALL wear them and said so before the WHO did.
cakeordeathdeathimeancake
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover.html
cakeordeathdeathimeancake
This was "last reviewed" in April meaning they had said you should wear masks anyway even if not sick, even before that.
aintnothinbutahounddog28
The CDC said it wasn't an effective measure to KEEP YOU FROM GETTING INFECTED. NOT that it doesn't slow the spread
aintnothinbutahounddog28
And ppl are so proud of being purposefully stupid they pretend they don't know it's about keeping others safe so if it doesn't protect them
aintnothinbutahounddog28
Why do it? It's horrible

Element35
To be honest its hard to care about other people when you don't even care about yourself.
MaterNyx
I agree. Although here most ppl were not afraid for themselves. They did it bc we were asked to help protect elderly/ppl with health issues
MaterNyx
So it's just more like manners and respect. Most there are very tolerant about almost anything but they despise it if you put others in
SanshinDojo
You ok, friend? Feel free to message me if you need to talk to a judgement-free stranger.

I'm ok. I think the chemicals in our brain determine how caring we are. Not such thing as a good person. Just a person with better chemicals
DeanOMiite
I'm in Rhode Island, we're still wearing masks everywhere. When I shop i see literally 0 unmasked ppl. Is this really a problem elsewhere?

Yes. We're lucky to be in the northeast (from Boston). The amount of stupid fucks out there is mind numbing.
JuxtaposeIsANeatWord
Yup. A huge problem
DeanOMiite
So weird to me. Though my state has been pretty consistently ranked top in the country in response since this started.
JuxtaposeIsANeatWord
Yeah, here in MO we have plenty of dining places open for sit down. No masks required. Gyms open. Lake of the Ozarks was madness on Mem Day

Worse in more conservative areas. Yes, we've made pandemic response a partisan issue. I continue to be astounded.

That’s because the Mad King made a mockery out of it.

Flygirlgtomx
The harder hit areas implemented the mask early on and ppl are now used to it. Most other places never did it and ppl are really against it
DeanOMiite
RI wasn't hit hard but we were surrounded by areas that were (Boston, NY) Our gov isn't popular but I think she did a great job with this.
Flygirlgtomx
In this case it's obviously better to do too much than not enough. Opening back up is important for the economy can't deny that. However
Flygirlgtomx
people are still dying and hospital are being overwhelmed. It's proven mask help so just make it a must.
DeanOMiite
Agreed. It's really not complicated. Wearing a mask helps your community stay healthy at a time when care is limited. ITS NOT DIFFICULT!
Flygirlgtomx
When I was in NY or NJ I was refused entrance anywhere unless I had my mask. Texas lacks the guts to make mask mandatory state wide.

If inside a place we wear masks but outside I don't wear one. I would like to breath

Omg same here. At 1st many ppl wore masks. Now that we're in phase 2 of reopening, less wear make & you get nasty looks for wearing one.

I live in a town where not a single person has gotten it. People still wear masks and there is tape on where to stand when waiting in line.

I'm in a college town in Tx. The people I'm seeing without them are all the 40+ soccer moms or rednecks. It's insane.
Poprocket77
Here in Georgia it's only African-Americans and the handful of smart white people wearing them.
yallmfsneedjesus
Yes, east coast people tend to be better educated. Midwest and south though......
FakePlasticTreehugger
Midwest less so. I have family in Michigan and they say people in Detroit are all wearing them.
yallmfsneedjesus
No one in Ohio is wearing them anymore.
garamasike
And the southwest. I live in Vegas and I’d say maybe 50% of people wear masks. What a surprise, our cases are spiking dramatically now...
KeyLimeAnxiety
I live in the Midwest and everyone wore them before they were required
yallmfsneedjesus
Me too, but no one is wearing them at all anymore.
LoserBabe
Fellow Bay Stater! I'm in Somerville, where it's a $300 fine for not wearing one in public. Meanwhile....
FakePlasticTreehugger
That's awesome. I think Brookline has a similar fine. I wish Boston would adopt that to get the stragglers.
LoserBabe
my family in California are being told "just wear a mask if you're going to be around people." How are you going to leave it up to people...
LoserBabe
to make their own judgments on whether they need a mask or not. It's a whole different world here. I'm happy we're all taking it seriously.
valhallalala
I wear one. I'm in healthcare. I had an elderly couple mock me. I replied: "Yeah! I told them I didn't need a mask while I wait for - (1/2)

That was perfectly stated
DownvoteIsTheNewUpvote
Just tell them you have covid. They'll shut up and leave you alone.
DrKriegersClone
Maybe. At this point anyone who knowingly has it and goes out in public deserves a beating, though.
yallmfsneedjesus
I had to say something similar. "Oh im not wearing this for ME. Its to protect YOU. Im a nurse". Peeps are fucking stupid. For some reason..
yallmfsneedjesus
..they still we all need to mask to protect ourselves. Idiots. You think that mask your surgeon is wearing is for him?
valhallalala
My guess is that they know they should wear the mask. They resent that knowledge and they've decided that I need get sick like them, too.
FoxlovesCookies
This morning, I mocked a dad and his daughter for not wearing a mask. I was on the phone and said really loudly, "I hate it when...
FoxlovesCookies
Snowflakes don't wear masks."
whatareyougoingtodomeow
Same here. And I hate wearing one for 12hrs a day but it's necessary. So wearing one for an hour or so while out is no big deal. It's
whatareyougoingtodomeow
2. Frustrating bcz these are the same people I'll possibly be taking care of in a week or 2 bcz they didn't take proper precautions.
valhallalala
I hear you. Hang in there and be safe!
MaterNyx
Are you working in a hospital?
whatareyougoingtodomeow
Yes. And I love truly love it and working with my patients. I just don't like seeing people get to point of no return.. It's heartbreaking
whatareyougoingtodomeow
2.not only for the family, but for the people who take care of them.
MaterNyx
It's :( you're a good man/woman! I know wearing masks all day can be shitty, but if it just helps a little bit... It's worth something.
Lickenziedickens
Seriously? Where do you live? I'm in Montana and everyone is wearing masks even though it's not required. One of the lowest case states
whatareyougoingtodomeow
I'm in Texas.. In one of the top 5 cities with the highest rate at that
TiredOfTheBS
Texas is being shitty about it
valhallalala
I'll give you a hint. My state is going to be the new "hot spot."
Papapandy
Florida eh
shimmernshine
Unless you're from arizona, you're not the hot spot. Some people here are aggressively anti-mask

valhallalala
Florida is in the same boat.

- my test results! *fake little cough* I think I'll take it off! We're not cowards!" I reach up, pretending, and they ran from me. (2/2)
wastedeagle
An old acquaintance of mine works in health care and stated he has a problem with people wearing masks. Called them sheeple...
MaterNyx
Haha tell them it's your Freeeeedom to wear a mask ?
CPatricoo
Im a bit more subtle. Ill usually do a single dry cough and like a strong exhale under my mask. Always gets attention.
RunsNakedThroughSwamps
Had a sinus infection and ppl still came in my personal space while I was doubled over sneezing and coughing. Like, pre-covid personal space
KillerTofu615
I'm still doing some work in and out of hospitals. Its SOOO satisfying to tell people I work in all the area hospitals and watch them run.
nopost
Same reason no one showed up to trump's rally. They may claim it's a hoax and refuse to wear a mask, but deep down they're terrifirs
BabyBumbleBee3
Well that and there's the possibility that thousands of seats were bought by people with no intent to go.
sumowoman
The seats were free and anyone who showed up was let in. Don't push a false narrative.
sumowoman
Or people are just sick of him.
Hezaethox
W0b0
That's so bad but I may use that. I get ridiculed from ppl thinking I wear a mask cuz I'm scared to get sick and I say it's to protect them
periodicmumbling350
MaterNyx
You get mocked for wearing a mask?! How stupid are your ppl? Fear is valid, and if you are not afraid for yourself is at least rational. ?
valhallalala
It's bizarre, I know. It's the elderly who do it most, too. I've given up trying to understand how some people can be so misguided.
AikenDrumTheNonbornKing
You have the safety on? You wear a seatbelt? You wash your hands? Sounds like some kinda pussy we don't want in our now great america. /s

I'm always ready to say "I'm protecting you from my viral load."

I get it, Iworked/lived in China years back and they wear a mask when sick. Yet you see them outside China wearing them and they get mocked
WellhowdidIgethere
But seriously, being scared to get this is a valid reason...

I feel this way a lot too, but of all of us who felt this way left, our country would never get any better. It's up to us to change it. Vote

I might soon. I have a very nice contract that would relocate me to Sweden and I might just apply for citizenship.

Lucky sob. I want to live there so bad.
catsandcoke
Isn’t Sweden the place that didn’t close down at all and has the worst death rate in all of Europe?
Hezaethox
Yes, but at least they have realized the error of they're mistakes, unlike the USA. Better late than never.
removekarling
US seems to have a better culture with masks than the UK. Not seen a single place requiring wearing a mask.
Uknomad11
Both our countries have idiotic leaders and useless cabinet members.

The grass is always greener on the other side. Once you’ve lived somewhere else you’ll realize everywhere has problems.

Unfortunately, the US is the lynchpin of free world. We can either fix this mess, or we can watch everything fall to pieces.
Hezaethox
You're the lynchpin of the free world as much as Putin is the most Democratic president ever.
LizardEnterprises
Speaking of Putin remind me again, who's military arsenal and nuclear stockpile keeps him from gobbling up the eastern half of the EU again?
Hezaethox
The EU's. What, you think USA is the only one with nukes?
LizardEnterprises
1/2 The only country in the EU with any nuclear weapons of its own is France, which has submarine and air-dropped nukes, and 0 missiles.

I don’t know about them, but our family is here and we don’t have the money to uproot our lives. It’s not as simple as just leaving.
STEELERSFAN719
I am ashamed also, but I dont want to leave, I want to fix it. I love this country, and it hurts to see it like this
HollyRex
I was in the, “I want to stay and fix it,” but if Trump wins again, we’re out. I have kids to worry about. :/
HollyRex
Both of our families are from Canada, we’re both only 3rd gen Americans. So, Canada or Norway (we have friends there). We’ll see.

pokerplayingchop
It is really fucking easy to leave. No way it costs an insurmountable amount of money for anyone reading this.
CoraciasLilac
Appropriate paperwork, being accepted, fine a job and home, moving costs, pet immigration...a lot to take care of before even getting there
pokerplayingchop
Hahahaahahahahahah. "I hate my home country so much that I have to leave.... except my cat is holding me back from my convictions." LOL
CoraciasLilac
?♀️ even without the pet immigration the other things take time. And I'm working in it. I do wish you would use energy better
pokerplayingchop
Billions wishing they could come to US. Millions facing actual persecution. You worry about taking a cat and how I use my energy. It's funny
Radfanwarrior
Have you done any research into the process of permanently moving to another country?
pokerplayingchop
Yes.
sabbacca1982
Why dont they just go there illegally and then demand sanctuary?
HollyRex
At the rate we’re going now, that might be a valid claim in the coming year.

How much do work visas in other countries cost? How often does the employer pay for the work visa?
