Mandatory mask poll

[vz71]

Well…

Seatbelts do save lives. But I do not believe they should be mandatory.
The life you save is your own, it is not the responsibility of the state to keep you safe from your own decisions.

How do you feel about bus drivers who die, due to covid?

Sad for their loved ones.

would you feel it would be helpful for bus drivers if the public were required to wear masks?

Probably not.

Or should ALL bus drivers who object to “no mask” people find new jobs? Simultaneously?

It’s up to them, not me. I’m not a control freak.

 

[tuffsmurf]

You don’t need to use a mask if you have already had covid, right?

 

[RolandThompsonGunner]

It may not be correct but I’m comfortable with it based on my research.

The point is it’s not about you or the risk to you.
You don’t wear a mask to protect yourself; it’s to protect those around you.

You’re free to say “I don’t care, my comfort is more important” I suppose, but that logic is just pure selfish obstinacy.

Sad for their loved ones.

Sad, but not sad enough to endure a minor inconvenience, right?

So, you don’t think wearing a mask helps, when someone who has covid, coughs on someone else who doesn’t have covid?

 

[JulianN]

You don’t need to use a mask if you have already had covid, right?

Wrong. There’s not yet conclusive evidence that you are immune nor unable to spread the disease.

 

[vz71]

You don’t wear a mask to protect yourself; it’s to protect those around you.

From what? I don’t have anything.

 

[JulianN]

From what? I don’t have anything.

You don’t actually know that.

 

[RolandThompsonGunner]

From what? I don’t have anything.

How do you know? You getting tested daily?

 

[RolandThompsonGunner]

You don’t need to use a mask if you have already had covid, right?

No, you still do. You can still shed virus even after you’ve recovered from the symptoms.

How could you know that? Do you understand that there is presymptomatic and asymptomatic spread of covid?

 

[RuthAnne]

You don’t wear a mask to protect yourself; it’s to protect those around you.

Not true. I don’t wear a mask because I choose not to.

Sad, but not sad enough to endure a minor inconvenience, right?

Right.

 

[RolandThompsonGunner]

Right.

Are you being sarcastic or are you genuinely this caustic about human life?

 

[EXdrinker]

The board who governs my workplace has decided that our patrons should wear masks.
If they hadn’t done so, how would you suggest that I magically find another job? At the same salary that I make now? In the same city? Some of us have specialized degrees and jobs. There are no other places to work at, within my city, with my qualifications.

All jobs, in the end, are voluntary. There is always a give and take. If one does not want to work somewhere that allows people to be there without masks then one weighs that into the give and take. This is common sense adult type thinking, “does working here today still outweigh all that I am required to do and give up?” You seem very focused on salary and degrees. These likely would weigh very heavily into your assessment. In the end it is still an assessment that we all make daily.

So I should wear an advertisement that I am carrying a potentially deadly pathogen?

Perhaps I should also rip my tunic and cry out to everyone “Unclean!” as they approach.

There is a reason medical information is kept private.

 

[tuffsmurf]

I had covid four months ago and have confirmed immunity via antibodies.

 

[tuffsmurf]

So the ones who have had covid should wear masks indefinetly?

So long to privacy.

Most people assume that other people may be (knowingly or unknowingly) carrying a potentially deadly pathogen during a pandemic. That’s how pandemics work.
