When I wear a mask in public:
* I want you to know that I am educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the v***s.
* No, I don’t “live in fear” of the v***s; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.
* I don’t feel like the “government is controlling me;” I feel like I’m being a contributing adult to society and I want to teach others the same.
* The world doesn’t revolve around me. It’s not all about me and my comfort.
* If we all could live with other people's consideration in mind, this whole world would be a much better place.
* Wearing a mask doesn’t make me weak, scared, stupid, or even “controlled.” It makes me considerate.
* When you think about how you look, how uncomfortable it is, or what others think of you, just imagine someone close to you - a child, a father, a mother, grandparent, aunt, or uncle - choking on a respirator , alone without you or any family member allowed at bedside.
* Ask yourself if you could have sucked it up a little for them.

This thread should not have been necessary.
The importance and need to wear a mask should be a given. It is not fun, but is a small price to pay.
Unbelievable that it has become a political issue based on one man’s vanity.

Well stated and thank you for what should be a PSA at least once a week as a reminder and a mind set changer.

Thank you! A great explanation of what drives me, too, when I put on my mask to go in a store where almost no one is wearing one.
It seems to me it's also a good representation of the stupidification of people. When your political beliefs overrule your respect for the lives of children and elders, there is something seriously wrong.
I am not religious, but I do believe in God. Mark 12-31 says it best, "Love thy neighbor as thyself". Even if your mask is itchy.
Ya'll take care,
Rick

What I've found out about myself since having to wear a mask is, I'd have NEVER been able to be a surgeon. And, I spend less at the grocery store in order that I can get out of there quicker and get that expletive-deleted mask off!

Think about it a v***s is so tiny it goes through mask like it wasn't there. It is like trying to stop a house fly with a chain link fence. You are just falling for government control.

The data shows that the mask is a deterrent. If you choose not to wear one, enjoy your ventilator (if they can find one).
