I have heard that there are fines up to $5,000 in Ontario where masks are mandatory.
Well traditionally I believe Swedes approved of most of their government's decisions about most things.....but with the COVID fiasco, that approval rating has declined due to the fast spread and death rate.
The reason masks are mandated in places with high infection rates is because arseholes, such as yourself if you were an asymptomatic carrier who passed it to someone, are not voluntarily wearing them enough. If people were voluntarily wearing them in public more often than not, it wouldn’t be mandated! First businesses tried to ask customers to do it, and a**holes refused and made a fuss...so they made it a law. Because of people like you.
What happened to the non-aggression principle? Isn’t not wearing a mask in public, in places where the infection rates are high and resources are low - what if you were asymptomatic - is that not as aggressive as an invisible punch? Even potentially much worse?
This should end the argument about wearing a mask or not.........
How's Australia doing these days with the COVID?
Lol, Wuhan, you say- chances are he might have had Covid earlier this year? Or maybe he was a smoker? Or both? Spontaneous collapse of a lung is possible, especially in people with lung disease. If he has had covid, maybe he should have taken it a bit easier. As it becomes more and more clear, covid survivors, even the ones that didn’t have to go to the hospital, continue to have long term symptoms.
Or maybe ... wearing a mask outdoors for exercising is just a bad idea Period!
It is most likely not necessary unless you are in close proximity to other people.
I never said there was. I said wearing a mask, like getting a vaccination, should be voluntary and with informed consent. Just as not frequenting establishments that have a mask mandate is voluntary ... and I voluntarily do not impose my unmasked face on anyone that finds such a face offensive. I do not shame people that do wear masks ... and I do not appreciate being shamed because I choose not to. If and when you can prove that I have infected anyone with my 'non compliance' that would be the time to criticize me and not before.
One can only speculate but WHO knows?
You are standing up for the crowd who refuses to wear masks, and infects others - so you are encouraging not wearing a mask. A mask optional policy will not work as long there are those that don't. And your support of them creates the necessity for a law to be put in place.
Score!
What conspiracies?
So optional means mandatory?
No optional means everybody volunteers because it's the right thing to do. If people want to dispute common sense science that says masks will limit ones aerosol particles from infecting others - they are putting public health at risk. When enough of a chorus of people get vocally defiant, refusing to do their part to help stop the spread - and they show up in public spaces to shout their aerosol around about it (I think you see those people as defending your rights, not putting others in harm's way) - then the mandatory laws become necessary.
