Regardless of who or why people have been lead to believe it, The reason there are people who want others to wear a mask is that a mask does not protect the wearer, it is suppose to keep the wearer from accidentally spreading the virus to others through their spittle. It has nothing to do with shame. It is about self preservation and what they feel needs to happen to achieve it.

OH MAN! That is my all time favorite. The first time I saw that I tried to get a cell phone picture but the driver spotted me trying to get the picture and sped off. I witnessed two older ladies in a Mexican food restaurant wearing masks while eating. I kid you not, they would pull the mask down, take a bite and then pull it back up again.

I disagree with your point on why they want to force others to wear a mask. I believe it is a much more deeply rooted cause and that they are using this logic to rationalize their belief. I say this because this logic misses one very important fact, a cognitive dissonance if you will. Whether I wear a mas or not does not affect my chances of spreading the COVID or any other virus IF I do not have the virus to begin with. They are ignoring this fact and the actual transmission/infection rates because they are wearing masks and have bought into the concept of it being a good thing to do. They further this cognitive dissonance by arguing that you can spread the germs before you are symptomatic, which implies that I might have COVID and not realize it.

They also ignore the reports of how well the masks work or do not work. Do you remember the report that said that wearing a mask made out of regular cloth, such as a bandana, is likely to spread the virus further by breaking up the droplets into smaller droplets that carry farther in the air than they would have otherwise. It was on mainstream media for a few days but disappeared quickly.

OK, I'll see that and raise you

I read a comment from a left wing liberal North Dallas Dem who stated that they were quarantining in Santa FE and felt "very safe" as they were outdoors taking a walk and saw others outside also wearing a mask (probably in a 10-15 mph cross wind!). I see all kinds of idiots walking ALONE outside in my neighborhood and wearing a mask. Maybe I should start wearing my plate carrier...

From body cam footage the cop gave her a chance to get a mask and come back to get her money out. Then he gave her the chance to leave. At that point she went full blown George Floyd on him. She must not have gotten the memo that only black folks are allowed to resist arrest. She failed to shout, "I can't breath". One must know the rules before fighting with a cop.

This wasn't a mask issue. It was a property rights issue, and she failed to understand that she has zero right to enter and remain against the wishes of the property owner.
