Dear community. LISTEN UP!

Nice trolling job. 🙄

While I'd never yell at anyone for not wearing a mask, if someone's breathing is really impaired by wearing one, they shouldn't put themselves and others at risk by going into stores. All stores have now made accomodations for people with health issues allowing them to place an order from home and pick up their items in a designated area. Most will put the items in your trunk for you so you stay safe. So, there's no reason to create drama here or in a public setting just to make a political statement.

Stores have a right to set their own rules & policies. All of us need to recognize that we have a responsibility to each other as a community. This is a neighbor helping neighbor situation until this virus is under control. It's called common courtesy. It has nothing to do with anyone's personal rights being violated. Please get off your soapbox. I don't believe a word of your story.

Bullshit. The distance is a minimum of 6 ft. Also, 99% of the time the non mask wearer is making a political statement and/or is a selfish asshole. IMHO even if he has a condition he is a selfish asshole. We all make sacrifices and it's a big middle finger to everyone around you if you won't at least wear the mask.

If you're so delicate you can't wear one you are in the super high risk group and need to do things like:

Wear a face shield instead of a mask because it's better than nothing. At the very least it helps in droplet precautions.

Go shopping during hours designated for people who are vulnerable to the pandemic.

Have groceries delivered either by app or by friend. Or use curbside pick up which is usually free.

It is because of people who do not wear masks or take extra measures to be safe that the pandemic is not getting better. I have to dress like a goddamned beekeeper to do any patient care because of that naked faced dude. When I see someone without a mask I blame them and mourn not becoming an expat before it was too late.

sexual assault is the cards you have been dealt.

I was born with Spina bifida, currently my kidneys have failed, now on dialysis, and in the past 10 yrs drs/hospitals have almost killed me 4 times, including 2 medically-induced comas

I am in the 'high risk' part of the population

wearing a mask isn't only about you catching it, it's also about you passing it on

most of us are doing everything we can, remember there is always someone worse off.

also, what would happen to you mentally, if someone close to you caught Covid, and they traced it back to you ?

I feel for anyone who physically can't breathe with a mask on, but I also feel for the people dying of COVID-19. It almost took my friend's life, might have made an attempt on my uncle's. 😔 Obviously there's a balancing act in society and yelling at someone from the get-go is too much. But mask policies must be enforced if you care for the immune-suppressed, and the only way to work this out effectively is to make it the duty of those poor souls with respiratory conditions to identify themselves. It's not fair, but it is necessary, unfortunately.

I say this as someone with asthma, myself. Don't let some people die for the mere convenience of others.

If they have a respiratory condition so severe that they can't wear a piece of cloth in front of their mouth (not even with allergic asthma and rhinitis in pollen season I had a problem wearing a mask.. for hours), the f*ck are they doing in a public place without even at least a face shield or an exemption badge? Amid a pandemic caused by a respiratory virus ([b]Severe Acute [u]Respiratory[/u] Syndrome[/b] CoronaVirus, 2), seriously?

These people 99/100 are perfectly fine and just need an excuse to "rebel".

The virus is a very real issue and standing 6 feet won’t stop him from infecting surfaces people may come in contact with. It’s terrible he has those issues but those cases can’t take priority over a global pandemic.

If you don't like masks you're gonna hate ventilators!
Believe me 🤷‍♀️

People that have a legitimate reason to not wear a mask (like the guy you mentioned to has asthma) probably shouldn’t be in a public setting and should have someone do shopping for them.

But if that’s not possible, get a plastic face shield.

Badges are nice, but folks have been forging them. Right now, society isn’t comprised of people who trust one another.

There are zero legitimate reasons today to be around other people without some kind of covering.

Zero.

Wear a badge.
People do here if they are medically exempt!
🤷‍♀️

when this nonsense is all over, I hope people with Asthma, Dyspnea, and other breathing problems sue the shit out of these businesses, employees, etc. heckling them over not wearing a mask... 🤔

I'd love to see wal-mart forking over a few hundred million in a class action lawsuit against them...

I find that people tend to ignore my not wearing a mask when I'm wearing a sidearm... 🤔

I'd extend this to people who don't want to wear one due to it being the mark of the beast as well. Plus masks carry their own health risks, probably more than this flu bug.

👍️👍️ If the mask bullies are wearing their mask why they so indignant and scared if someone else ain't. Aren't they protected by theirs? 😒

In Massachusetts, our governor has mandated wearing masks, but has also told people they may not shame those who do not wear them, because there are some who can not breathe inside a mask.

Some stores, (such as grocery stores), mandate the wearing of masks so that if you enter, you are guaranteed that other customers who might cough or sneeze can not do so all over the food. A powerful sneeze from an infected person can send spray up to 13 feet away.

I have found I can breathe inside a two layer cotton mask, but can't breathe inside paper masks.

This society has become inhumane

Someone very special to me has a very similar viewpoint, this shit has gotten out of hand.

Poor guy. I mean I get that, but I enforce the mask rule at work because we'll be fined or shut down if we don't. I'm going to defend my coworkers' jobs. I don't scream at people who aren't wearing a mask, though. I just say my reminder and that's it. Doesn't need to go as far as making someone break down. :(

You don’t have to go into the store. If you have a valid medical condition, they have to accommodate you by getting what you need and bringing it out to you. But you don’t get to shop without a mask.

I think masks are the way to go if you're in an area where cases are plentiful. Screaming at someone is unlikely to change their view on the topic though

[i][c=#BF0080]Some may def have issues, but most others likely don’t. If I can manage them- they bring on asthma attacks almost every time I wear them even short term, most people should be able to too. [/c][/i]

Thank you for giving us your perspective as you’ve also struggled with asthma conditions, thanks for that gentle reminder for all of us to be understanding

bullshit, wear a mask you entitled cunts
