i always wear one regardless what the legislatures around here do/decide to do.

gloves too, but not always.

I don't do gloves but that's only because no one around here has them. I have enough hand sanitizer to last me a while so that I don't feel so gross going somewhere from like a gas station or whatever

Ours aren't mandatory anymore, but store policy at most places still means you have to wear them. Still will see psychos that wear them while driving and don't get that the mask helps you from getting others sick not prevents you from getting sick. If anything my mask is probably increasing my chances of getting sick. Been using that thing for like 2 months now and only washed it once. Gotta be like putting a sock that you've worn for months on your face at this point. Should probably wash that thing.

i dont trust that stuff, seems too easy. hot water and soap for me and the fam! i definitely used gloves at the grocers and the dmv. 

oh, i guess we incorporate lysol wipes instead of "hand sanitizer".

I mean it's better than nothing. I can't imagine going into a gas station bathroom to wash my hands before I left would really be any cleaner

I don't take off my mask when I drive over to get lunch because I'm literally in the car for 5 minutes before I have to go inside another building.

I take mine off the moment I get outside. People run for their lives like I just pulled out a gun. Also got a letter from the YMCA about mask policy. You have to wear one in the entry lobby, but not in any of the exercise rooms or pool. That just seems dumb to me.  

Gloves are also overkill and probably don't work because people don't know how to wear them and still touch their dumb faces with gloves on. Watched one lady removing her gloves. She took the one off fine, but she didn't want to touch the other glove with her clean hand, so she used her mouth to help pull off the other glove. It's like using a condom then after sex you pull it off and dump the contents into her womb. I mean at least then the person wearing the condom would still be safer from STDs at least.  Really all you need to do is not touch your mouth/face and eyes after touching anything.

I'll also see people doing dumb shit like scratching their nose or itching their eye with gloves on....like wtf! People don't invest in safety they invest in the idea of safety. People will still lock their homes like it will stop anything, even if they have windows on ground level or glass doors. It does nothing at all if someone wants to get in, all they need is a rock. Though it makes people feel like they're safe. Same thing with masks. It does nothing for healthy people. In Japan for years you'd only wear a mask if you were sick. Though in our minds we associate masks with protection. Doctors wear masks so they must do that because they have to see so many sick people and can't afford to get sick. When in reality they wear masks because they don't want to get other people sick in case they do catch something.

As for gloves there is a correct method to remove them. You have to pull one off down to your fingers, then before it's off you use your fingers that are still gloved to start removing the other glove. Then when both are down to the fingers you just pull with both hands and both gloves are now inside out and off of your hand and can be thrown away or soaked in a weak bleach bath when you get home to sanitize.

Someone is more likely to rob a house with an unlocked door than a house they would have to loudly force entry into. Masks keep healthy people healthy by preventing people who are sick (but think they're healthy) from spreading the disease. Additionally multiple barriers (infected person wearing a mask + healthy person wearing a mask) cuts down rate of transmission significantly.

Masks don't keep healthy people healthy unless you have a full vacuum seal around your face and filters. If there is any gap you get more air in through the sides of your mask then you do breathing through your mask. Though if you cough or sneeze there is a mask that is going to catch the majority of the particulates from getting into the air and making other people sick. 

As for the locked door it's no safer. If someone wants into your house they're getting in. Funny enough for cars anyway you can even call your insurance provider on this. They will tell you never lock your car door. If you have anything worth stealing in your car they're just going to smash the window and take it. So rather than just having your stuff stolen had you left it unlocked. You now have it stolen and a broken window. Also the robber is going to rob the house regardless of the door situation. No robber on earth has ever gone up to a house, the door is locked and said "fuck foiled again". As for it being loud you'd be surprised what sounds people are conditioned to ignore. You'll see all the time on the news. "I herd a bang I thought someone was setting off fireworks or something and just didn't think nothin of it".  Also the people I know who did home robberies did them dead of day like 9am everyone is at work, smash into the house grab some shit and leave. Nobody is robbing a house in the dead of night when everyone is asleep in the house and is going to hear the slightest sound. Same shit goes with dogs. Everyone thinks their dog will keep people out. You know how many dogs clam down if you talk to them in a nice voice and give them treats....Just about all of them unless you have one trained exclusively to kill any intruders. 

I digress people just want the sense of security, and don't give a shit about how safe they really are. Just as long as they think they're safe. Govt has done this forever, duck and cover was an obvious won't do shit but puts peoples minds at ease so they don't worry about it. Though it's also why people have such a backlash once something bad does happen and their security blanket didn't help them like they thought it would. People go to therapy every day trying to cope with the idea that their house or car was broken into. Because they no longer feel safe. If a lock can't keep someone out then what's to stop the queen of england from kicking down my door and beating my wife and moving my pans out of order in the kitchen? 

If the govt said "yeah these security blankets we're telling you to put on your face aren't going to keep you from getting sick, just help you from getting others sick". A lot of people would either be in denial "No I can tell mine works because I wear it all the time and I haven't gotten sick",  or they could panic and start hoarding because they want to go out as little as possible.

If wearing a mask protects other people from getting sick... other people wearing masks protects you from getting sick.

It's been empirically and anecdotally proven. 

Yes but my mask is doing nothing for me personally. If you ask ten people why they're wearing a Mask I bet they'll say it's to protect them from getting sick. Four will probably say because the store/govt told them to and one will probably say it's to protect others from getting sick. Though then if you ask them if they're sick, they'll say no; so ask why are you wearing a mask to keep other people from being sick if you personally aren't sick. "well the asymptomatic"; oh the fuckin asymptomatic demographic. The one that according to the CEBM accounts from anywhere between 3 and 80% of all cases which is code for they have no idea.

The real problem is the fucked work ethic that companies have instilled into people. Americans can be on our death beds and still think we have to go in for our shift. Cause you only get like 3 unpaid sick days then it eats into your 5 days of paid vacation. So people get sick and wander around ignoring it like pope ignores pedophiles in the church.  In every other developed country a month of paid sick days a month of paid vacation, husbands get maternity leave and pay along with their wives so she isn't home alone after pushing an 8lb flesh ball out of her vagina. So maybe if America had adopted some of these practices then maybe people wouldn't be shitheads and wander out of the house and infect everyone when they're sick. The masks are pretty much for the Karen at the office who is coughing and sneezing saying "oh I'm not sick it's just allergies I can't afford to be sick". 

I wear my mask because I have to, but I know it's not doing me any favors. Since I'm not sick I know it's not doing anyone else favors aside from not having to look at my face. Though it's dumb when people think that its keeping them from getting sick. Though that is how people are they're selfish and will only wear them thinking that they're helping themselves. There's always that person on the news who says "could you live with yourself if you knew you got my grandma sick and she died". It's a guilt trip but I know everyone in the back of their mind thought "fuck your grandma, bet that old bitch was the one who rosa parks wouldn't move seats for on the bus".
