Mandatory Masks

[Deer Wrastler]

Everyone is responsible for their own health. It's the governments job to protect my rights, it's my job to protect my health.

How much of our children's future are we willing to sacrifice for our safety?

When everyone thought the mortality of this would be around 3% people were throwing around the jelly bean argument. If there were 100 jelly beans in a dish and you knew 3 of them were poison, would you eat any. People never looked at the other side of that. The penalty for not eating any are inability to provide for your loved ones, bankruptcy, unemployment etc. For me, I'm grabbing a handful and many of us with high risk jobs do that everyday.

Life is full of risk and lots of the older people I know take their own precautions but do not want the next generation to sacrifice the future for their safety.

Our society has become so risk averse that we are losing our ability to function.

I go to work 6 to 7 days a week, I lead a group of 70 people I have to interact with up close and Im exposed to over 200 people every day just on my job. I know all about putting food on the table and the risk vs reward having a newborn in the hospital on May 6th right in the middle of the crisis. I have older family members who are gravely concerned about their health to the point they are on antidepressants for the first time in their life, I have employees who have comprised immune systems that still have to work to survive and cant afford the governments excuse of a handout who are deathly afraid of anyone not wearing a mask. I know people who have gotten the virus, I know of people who have died of the virus. Therefore I will continue to serve my family and do my duties and also respect others feelings and emotions through these tough times. We all take risks everyday, the real heros are the ones who put others before themselves. Even if you think a mask or any of the controls are silly, anyones choice to ignore any of the controls is purely selfish. I truly feel for the people who actually have conditions that prevent them from wearing a mask and everyone else marching around with their facade of an excuse should be ashamed. Unfortunately in this society some people have no shame and therefore cannot truly feel or empathize with other.

What do the pro maskers think about Trudeau opening up the border in a couple weeks? No big deal just wear a mask? Our great leader will keep us safe, thats what he does

you keep losing every argument you bring up so you continue to find new ways to stir the pot. Thought they had a word for that...starts with a T?

They kinda work like a teddy bear, use it until it falls apart, don't bother washing it. As long as it keeps you feeling safe it works...

hahaha that is pretty funny tho lol

Who said anything about losing? Do you come here to be a winner?

44 pages and still going strong ! Really ? We shooting for a record here or what ? LoL ! Maybe a Mod can tell us what the record number of pages are at right now ? As for the original question ? I wear a mask and/or social distance . I was wearing a mask before we were told to and why... because it makes sense ! All the healthcare workers were wearing PPE right from the start. I would not doubt had this country been better supplied with basic PPE in the begining we could have shortened this "unprecedented event" . Take a look at what's going on south of the border and see what happens when you don't follow social distancing / mask wearing, etc..

Some people do not like being told what to do, even if it is for their own, and everyone else's good.. Don't worry, time will make masks an everyday part of life, like seat belts , bike helmets, not smoking indoors, etc..

I don't think Masks will become something we do forever like seatbelts if so the human race will surly be endangered.

Sad we have medication that they are not using. Not enough profits to be made like a vaccine. I'm sure the masks will save you.

For that article, I found this link particularly interesting.
