    The price they should pay for their choices is in the business that they choose to lose.

    But haven't you always covered your mouth when you sneeze or cough anyway? What extra does the mask do?

    I wear a mask because...I really look even more cool than usual and most important of all, it might save you...kinda like a seat belt. Do you buckle up?

    I know that you'd think that people would cover their mouths when they sneeze and cough but an unbelievable number of people do not. No doubt the same people who fail to wash their hands when they use the restroom, chew with their mouths open and cut their finger or toe nails on public transit.

    Wearing a mask leaves me gasping and feeling sick for more than a few minutes afterward. I am a coward, though, in that I wear one to avoid any sort of social confrontation out in public. I hate the thought of that more than I hate wearing a mask. If there is a sign saying I must wear a mask to enter.........I put one on the same as I put on shoes to enter that same store. I am not a people person so the less I have to deal with people in any capacity in person, the better I feel. I'm not glad I"m a coward, but.... I'll own it.

    Oh thank you. Mask wearers ARE weak and submissive and they want all of us to wear masks so that they can feel better about themselves. Thanks for straightening that out.
