JeannieParticipantListen to Randy Rainbow!
If you’re in a store, etc., follow the rules. Even if you have asthma, it’s safe and easy to wear a mask for a short visit to Met Market. Plus, masks have become very inexpensive AND come in all kinds of cool patterns and colors.

22bladesParticipant…and wear a proper mask properly. Yes that means covering your nose. And those fancy masks that lets you exhale easier? They do NOT filter your exhaled breath which is half of the equation & (unwittingly) a selfish act.

heartlessParticipantSaw somewhere online, not sure the origin, but basically said:
Wearing a mask is an IQ test.
Indeed, and it’s one too many are failing.
Love yourself, love your neighbors, WEAR A MASK!

anonymeParticipantIQ test, indeed. Nor do I sympathize with the enablers who think it’s just mean to confront maskless individuals in supermarkets, etc. If these people truly have underlying illnesses that prevent them from wearing a mask, then they are the last people who should be barefaced out in public. If their condition actually exists (highly doubtful) then they should be in quarantine for their own safety. It should be written into the (unenforced) law that if you can’t (won’t) wear a mask, then you must stay home. It’s well known that covidiots, already low on the IQ scale as noted, are using unsubstantiated medical conditions as an excuse to flaunt their ignorance. Remove the loophole. Or, give them all a maskless island to live on, along with the anti-vaxxers, and let Darwinism run its course. A tanning bed should be all the intervention they need.

GracianoParticipantI was at the store today, the manager asked a customer to leave for not wearing a mask.. Instead of turning the customer away, why didn’t they offer him a mask. Guess these stores are too cheap to give a paper bag or a face mask.

KBearParticipantGraciano, you are required to wear a shirt. Your own shirt, which you provide yourself. You can provide your own mask, too. Are you not self-sufficient?

heartlessParticipantI agree people should have their own masks, but I also think that stores having masks available for customers is a smart move, if only to reduce excuses for not wearing one, and to possibly help diffuse a difficult encounter. I think it might let a store employee say “Oh, I’m sorry but you have to wear a mask to shop, but we are happy to provide you with a free mask” rather than flat-out turn people away.

GracianoParticipantKBear, I’m self-sufficient. But people do forget to bring the mask when going to the store… Maybe it’s in the wash machine, hopefully you wash yours… My point is, these masks are cheap enough that if you or someone forgets to bring one, that the store could offer them one vs telling them to leave.

buttercupParticipantIf I don’t wear shoes to the store should they provide me with a pair? It is a person’s personal responsibility to wear to the store what is required. People are accountable to themselves.

JeannieParticipantYou can buy masks at the Met Market – there’s a display right by the entrance, and they’re inexpensive. So, no excuse in that case. At the PCC last week, a shopper wasn’t wearing a mask. One of the employees hurried over and handed her a mask. Kudos to PCC!
I own about a dozen masks. If you’re worried about forgetting one, keep a clean mask in a paper bag in your car. Just don’t keep it in there indefinitely.
This is a life-or-death crisis. I’m disappointed there are so many Covidiots in our highly educated city.July 12, 2020 at 6:19 pm #983017

22bladesParticipantMasks with vent valves do not qualify as valid PPE’s on some airlines. Mask up right before you take flight!

Colonel Mustard’s WrenchParticipantWearing a mask =
Businesses reopen sooner and fewer businesses fail
Fewer jobs lost
Fewer people get horribly sick
Fewer people die
I personally know someone who has died of Covid-19, and another person who now has lifelong kidney damage because of the way his immune system reacted to the virus.
I know many people who are hurting financially because either their hours have been greatly reduced or they have lost their jobs.
People that choose to not wear a mask are in denial about the huge ripple of consequences they contribute to.
People that choose to not wear a mask are playing roulette with their health and their loved ones health.
I ask those who choose to not wear a mask to reconsider, and to wear a mask for the good of the community.August 8, 2020 at 11:50 am #985072
Michael WaldoParticipantThe newest statistics: Over the last four weeks, every 80 seconds in America, someone dies from Covid. Thats a thousand people a day. Reason enough to wear a mask.

GracianoParticipantIf you goto any Safeway in King County…, you can get up to 12 masks for FREE!
