The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday in the noon hour.
QUESTION: Will you wear a mask if COVID cases continue to rise?
Talk about it….
No… it will take something dramatic and drastic to go back to that…..
Nope
Only will wear a mask if I am required. Like going to the doctor’s office because I need to see my doctor.
IMO, it’s pointless to wear a mask and even more so while wearing eyeglasses.
But if you feel better wearing one, ….go for it.
No, but how many times is the subject of wearing a mask going to be brought up? It’s getting old. We can already predict what most answers will be because the same people who have posted previously on this site about mask wearing, will repeat what they have already said many times before. Please find another topic that is new and interesting.
Nope. Studies have already came out essentially saying majority of masks are useless. If someone wants to wear one that is their choice. This is all about control. Also did anyone catch the article the other day where doctors legit said they can’t even really tell the difference between Covid, the common cold or allergies?
Yep, and if people want to live with delusions, then they can go right for it. But I will not alter my reality so that they can feel saner. At this point, masks do more harm than good.
Yes. We know how people will respond because everyone who posts on this site has the same conservative agenda. Isn’t is obvious?
Including you? You post here, genius.
OK, I’ll take a liberal stance and agree to wear one for shoplifting purposes.
@Reality Check… A couple of years ago half of the people in here were cheering for the masks or berating others for not getting their vaccines.
They know who they are. What a change a few months can bring. People do learn.
“People do learn”.
Unfortunately, not everyone.
Some do…. others continue to vote “D”
They want all the D’s. Big ones tiny ones, by the bag and bowl load they want the D’s
If you mean, smart and informed and loaded with common sense, I guess you’re correct
I hate wearing masks. I wear nuisance masks when I clean stuff around here because there is a visible thing to avoid. I wore an N95 way back 2018 during the wild fires when the streets around here looked like Beijing. I only wore it for walks and not for stores where it wasn’t required anyway. Those N95s feel like suffocation. So I wore nuisance masks during the pandemic to get into stores. Almost everyone else wore “costume” masks to comply and a few with N95s. And too with me, it would take something more dramatic to wear them while protesting loudly.
NOPE. Never wore one the 1st time, I trust Science.
Not a chance.
“No” is a complete sentence in the English language.
I have airborne allergies as well as animal dander allergies. I have been wearing a mask outside of my home in public as well as just doing yard work for some time now. I use allergy meds but they don’t always help that much especially when I’m visiting those with cats, dogs, or even birds.
@DOROTHY ~
Totally understand your situation.
I have a friend with Asthma and smoke & dust is an issue too.
.
No. No. .. and, no.
.
Why?
NO
No. Of course, during the intro to the fauci/NIH funded, chinese created flu, I was one of those who would/did not wear the mask (only on my chin, as to not put the employees of establishments I went into in an uncomfortable circumstance in having to cite the requirements, not fair to them).
“N95” refers to a class of respirator filter that removes at least 95% of very small (0.3 micron) particles from the air. Some people have mistakenly claimed that since the virus that causes COVID-19 is approximately 0.1 microns in size, wearing an N95 respirator will not protect against such a small virus.
So, what’s the point. I do however agree with Dorothy on the allergy aspect.
N95 masks made from or coated materials that hold a static charge. Small particles get stuck to the mask much like how static cling works. That’s how and why N95 masks work against small things such as virus particles. If you are interested in the technical details then see https://www.wired.com/story/the-physics-of-the-n95-face-mask/
Never, so stupid…false sense of security. Masks are for large particulates only (including N95) to be rude…if you can smell a fart through it you can get a virus through it. Also your eyes are the third largest entry point into the body so you can put on fifty masks if you want but if someone coughs or sneezes walking in front of you you are going to get in your eyes and subsequently in your sinuses. Doctors use them for large spray both from patients and from them to patients during procedures. this is mass insanity.
I think you meant to say mask insanity. 🙂
Bingo!
Go back to wearing a mask? I wouldn’t say No. I would say HELL no.
I will obey our great doctors and government leaders always … because I am so freeking busy on my phone being socially engineered … Thinking is so tiresome … just give me a chip and some chips and a case of diet soda pop … I can’t wait for the next viral video on my TikTok …
I mean, I do like diet soda.
No. Did they even work?
NO ! The only time I will wear a mask is handing out candy at Halloween.
不是 | bùshì | no; is not; not be
That’s NO in Chinese.
Just so the government can understand it.
We all wore masks we all got vaccinated we all were quarantined we all ended up being covered anyway. But the damage to businesses, education, and people’s mental being has yet to be tallied. Trump *was* right!
Never Again! I live in a mask free zone!!!
You think Covid is the only reason to wear a mask! Try again. Cryptoccocis and Valley Fever are now both present in the Bay Area, thanks to global heating! Try spending your 60+ year, hospitalized for 2 weeks, two months on oxygen, and 6 months on an antifungal medication that makes your nose bleed every single day! If you work outside in dusty dry soil, and rotting vegetation, or raise pigeons or doves, then wear your damn N-95 mask…plus during Covid time! Quit being a spoiled baby, and protect yourself and others. My grandmother and family wore their masks, when they went from their farm on Willow Pass to down town Concord, during the time of the 1918 Spanish Flu. Grow up America, and act as We the People again!
Why is it that hypochondriacs are rarely in better health than the average person?
And what is “covid” time? Do you mean flu season or election season?
You keep mentioning election season, is there a big election in 2023?
Election season lasts a year so it is election season
Your whole post screams, “Government Joe.”
I’ve written it before and it bears repeating: freedom isn’t safe – it’s not designed that way. There was a time in this country that the majority of the citizenry recognized this fact. It was a better time.
This guido really lives up to his name. Your grandmas farm that you want reparations for right. What a clown 🤡 show
I don’t have any conditions that warrant wearing a mask, so no.
I’m not performing surgery anytime soon…so…that’ll be a no from me
We the people does not mean you the individual….. It means “WE THE PEOPLE” you do what you feel is right to feel safe but it is no ones place to preach on to others of what they should do. You can lock yourself away and do whatever you chose and that is everyone’s right but it is also everyone’s right to do what they feel is right for themselves. No one wants to hurt others but opinions of what is right and wrong are plentiful so do what you feel is for you and let others do the same.
and yes an argument only proves there are at least two people present nothing more.
A month ago 3 of us came down with COVID at the same time. If I get it again I will wear a mask if I must go out in public just like last month.
I will listen to the doctors and not the less educated pundits with an agenda.
@Doh, you mean your vaccines and boosters aren’t working? Shocking.
I did not say that. We were not wearing masks. My symptoms were significantly less than my first time (Jan, 2020 before it was announced). That bout was much harsher and lasted 5 weeks. The vaccines promised to lessen the symptoms. They did.
Stop making this political and listen to your doctor.
“The vaccines promised to lessen the symptoms.”
That’s not what vaccines do.
You sound quite political yourself, funny thing I haven’t taken one shot haven’t been sick so seems like your shots didn’t lessen anything. Most people I know that didn’t pump poison in their arms are doing just fine. I also know 3 people with pericarditis that were fully current on their poison shots but you do you and stop lecturing other you are no better than anyone else Doh…
@DOH….You know what is said about opinions…”Opinions are like assh….,ah, bellybuttons, everybody has one. If ignorance is bliss you must be on cloud nine, hope you’re doing fine…..https://youtu.be/jVmVvQdVCSw?si=gHLC4mm3ibi4-Zhi
Yes. I haven’t had Covid yet and I’d like to keep it that way. Nor would I want to spread it to anyone else – not my family, not my co-workers, not my elderly relatives, not the people I’m next to in a store who might have cancer or an autoimmune disease or diabetes or any other condition that makes them more vulnerable to Covid. I’ll get the updated vaccine, too. Getting vaxxed and wearing a mask when necessary are of such little inconvenience to me. I don’t see them as political statements. Just living my life as a decent human being.
@EL D….Yeah, what a milquetoast life you probably have. You’re the epitome of “another brick in the wall”.
This hardly makes you a decent human being
You do you … but I have not tested positive for COVID either. I took the initial shot and one booster as it was required for me to have continued employment. I tested every time I went into the office for a VERY LONG time. I have been around known positive symptomatic cases and have had physical contact with some of them.
I have travelled internationally 3 times in the last 12 months, no mask. Been on planes for 3 other business trips in the last 12 months, again no masks. I sit regularly in rooms with folks who are traveling via plane to sit in my office complex – 30 people in a room around a table.
So you want to be vaxxed and wear a mask, and have not had covid.
I have had the initial, one booster and have not worn a mask in pushing 2 years, at least 18 months. And I have not had covid.
All I am saying here is that both of our pathways have led to the same outcome, no covid for us and we have not given covid to anyone else. So being vaxed and masked may not be the only solution – so again, you do you but please don’t force it on anyone else or try to look down on those of us that have not participated in the booster mask club.
There are asymptomatic infections of Coronavirus, and the vaccine does not prevent transmission. So unless you’ve tested at least once a week for three years, there is no way to know you haven’t spread covid to someone with autoimmune disease or cancer. However, if your virtue signaling makes you feel better, knock yourself out.
Except… Masks don’t work. Studies have showed it and the CDC has backpedaled on it along with Fauci multiple times. Put it this way, if you can put your hand in front of your mask while talking and feel the air… isn’t stopping Covid or anything else bud.
No, only if it is mandated. I stopped wearing it when it was no longer mandated, and I have been around so many people at work I feel I would already have caught Covid if I was going to get it. I have never had the flu, haven’t had a cold in 10-12 years, so I think I have a good immunization system.
Food for thought: A federal court of appeals ruled that the White House, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the FBI, and the surgeon general violated the First Amendment by using social media to suppress the speech and rhetoric of Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. Bhattacharya is a professor of medicine, economics, and health research policy at Stanford University. He co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration in the fall of 2020 with professors from Harvard and Oxford. The book raised questions and concerns about how the country handled lockdowns during the pandemic.
