Any responsibility on your part to those people you infect? I don't buy the argument that masks cause more harm than good. If it keeps some things out of your nose or mouth, including your own fingers, you're better off. I get that you shouldn't feel that you're bulletproof wearing a mask and take unnecessary risks, but it's better than not having one on -- whether you're sick or not. Personally I feel it's irresponsible at this point to get out any more than absolutely necessary, and to be out without taking precautions such as wearing a mask. So you're wearing a mask, possibly incorrectly with gaping holes around the edges, you're coughing and sneezing, heck even breathing in a public place. Any responsibility to the people you infect? I'm not arguing you specifically but in general obviously. The assumption that I am gallivanting around town willie-nillie is incorrect. That is probably my fault. My point is I am vastly limiting my exposure. Besides work, home, and farm, TSC today was the first time in a 3 week period I have been out to "town". You can also bet your socks if I didn't have $3k in fertilizer sitting having to finish being spread I would have ordered the pins from amazon and never left the house to begin with. We order the bulk of our weekly needs via amazon. My wife gets the little bit of weekly food we need every 2 weeks in a quick in and out trip to the store. Today the closest I would have come to anyone would have been the lady at the register, had it not been for the lady coming directly too me, physically making contact with me. You mis-construed the thought process entirely. I saw in 1 single short trip multiple people all WITH masks wandering around appearing to be window shopping all clearly breaking the social distancing order. If that doesn't solely represent the whole I have a mask, I'm good theory then I don't know what does. The thought process probably stands that with or without masks those same people would have likely been out but you wont ever convince me a large population exists that thinks, " I add a mask, I can push the limits" Its just to prevalent in every other faucet of our society to think that way. If you want to play the limit the risk to yourself and everyone around you then batten down the hatches, quit your job(assuming your still working or solely work from home), don't think about going to any public place including a boat ramp, once you leave your house you take risks everyday that you might have to come in contact with someone even if it is accidental. Heck half of these "essential business" aren't remotely essential. Again my theory is unless you are taking EVERY SINGLE precaution, up to and including giving up borderline "essential" activities, then the mask isn't likely providing the protection you think it is. There is far to many people out and about doing activities that are not essential. It's nothing more than a dollar store bandaid on a cut that needs stitches. A lot of opinions on the mask/glove theory changed after the CDC change in guidance. Question is how many people actually wore them prior to the guidance changing and how many will continue to wear them through flu season next year? In addition how many people you think actually use them right? wily 1
ness Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Staying home, social distancing and wearing a mask when you’re out, hand washing, keeping your fingers out of your nose, mouth and eyes all make positive difference. No one thing is the whole answer. Do them all just to be safe. Mitch f 1 John

MOPanfisher Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Hell I am in and it of the city more in the last few weeks and coming weeks than I have been in years. I take precautions but I am not the best at it, I don't go where I have to coming closely. If at Dr. Appt we will hit a drive through cause still gotta eat, if need stuff, I generally get it at local DG, so I can cherry pick times when low numbers there. Do what I can but no I don't go out looking lIke I am expecting a chemical attack.
