Thought this was a great little video.

It’s a great video if you are sick and are coughing then yes, a mask is helpful. This does nothing for the majority who aren’t sick and are being told to wear a mask. Normal breathing doesn’t create this type of projectile and I don’t walk around coughing and sneezing on people everyday. If you are sick or compromised stay home and/or wear a mask if you have to get out. If you are not sick then carry on with life. Common sense is still a thing yet we want to make things more difficult than they should be.

You may be sick and not know it yet so that’s why you wear a mask.

Agreed, my biggest frustration with the whole debate is that it's not an "if" they work it's a "how well" do they work. The mask that would truly make the wearing completely invulnerable aren't exactly affordable options you can just mandate to an entire country. So really in order for my cheap ass cloth mask or paper mask to be AS EFFECTIVE as possible I need you to also wear one and still stay 6 feet away from me.

I don't know why that somehow negates the importance of using them and practicing social distancing...if your gripe is "government overreach" it's a different debate at that point.

Wait? You mean you don’t walk around coughing in people’s faces? Wow what a weirdo

Yeah if everyone who wasn't coughing just walked around all day doing nothing but breathing and keeping their 6 feet of distancing then you would probably have a point. Unfortunately though people mouth breathe, people talk, people wipe their face/mouth and then touch other things.

If we 100% without question knew that the virus was only transmittable when symptoms of distress (like a cough) were present then sure maybe the common sense route would work.


End of the day very, very, very few people have legit issues that can/will prevent them from being able to wear a mask for a brief time in a social setting. The evidence of it working is present in all the other countries that have embraced the process, so to me it's worth my minor annoyance to wear a mask now and try to prevent stiffer restrictions/penalties in the future. I really hate that it's taking local governments having to force business to close to prevent group gathers.

Have a blast! My cousin went a couple of weeks ago, and she said they did not wait more than 15 minutes on any ride, because the crowds are so low. The wait time yesterday for flight of passage was only 25 minutes, which is unheard of.

People also touch their mask a billion times and then grab doors and whatever else in public. You wearing gloves and changing them every contact you have with anything? No, you aren’t.

Got a 15 year old, two 13 year olds, an 11 year old, and a 9 year old that we've homeschooled from the beginning. My wife is a saint and a machine. There are so many resources available for families who choose this route.

That's what I noticed. The wait times indicate theres less exposure to the Rona than going to target
