I realized a great way to try to wake these people up. I saw a worker at a grocery store today, so I said to him, "So they are still making you wear a mask?" (of course, knowing it wasn't required because most, if not all of the other employees don't wear masks), then he said, "No, I just want to", so then I said, "You really should look into the information about masks". That's all. It's now up to him, but the thought should now be in his head, and maybe he'll actually look into it. Of course, my ultimate action will be to wear a T-shirt that says, "Wearing a mask in public is like carrying a sign that says I'M AN IDIOT! " :)

I usually mention the consequences of hypoxia, micro-fibers from China, and bacterial lung infections.
How about, please turn your head away from me when talking. The mask you are wearing is a breeding ground for molds and parasites. They're designed for temporary use in environments of high dust particulates. Look it up.
I had to wear a mask everyday for work for 35 years. But, it was in a clean room! These people walking around wearing a mask, is about the same as wearing a petri dish on their face. I think asking them to keep a distance, since they insist on wearing germs and bacteria on their face. We need to make it clear they are a hazard to us, not the other way around.
Yes! I like that "Petri dish" analogy. It is so correct. Even OSHA in their long-held guidelines (until 'COVID") stated that N95 masks (respirators) were to be used as a last resort in environments of high airborne particulates and not to be used for more than 20 minutes, to which they were considered as useless. N95 respirators were originally designed by 3M Corporation for use in the coal industry. They were never designed for the prevention of germs. A variation of the N95 is the surgical mask, which really has the same functionality as a N95 with perhaps some aesthetic variations. It is designed so the surgeon doesn't drool, cough, or sneeze into open wounds. It has more to do with sputum than air born germs.
I can tell you that some surgeons sweat that sometimes drips into the open surgical field.
Yes, this is a possibility. You must be alluding to field surgeons or inept surgeons under review. Hospitals are temperature and atmosphere controlled.
it can still get warm and sweaty in the OR under those gowns and masks. Retired surgeon here.
Not sounding beneficial to the patient and sounds more like a M.A.S. H. environment. This may be another example of hospitals not pursueing GMP as much as pursue profit. In the end who pays?....... Seems like the patient does in more ways than one can imagine.
"Be careful buddy. Exhaled air contains nitrogen, carbon dioxide and perhaps hundreds of additional chemicals. Why are you trapping all those poisons and re-breathing them?"
I saw two people today, and I just rolled my eyes. I audibly said out loud,… It’s been three years.
This would all end immediately if people started spreading the word "Only Ugly People Wear Masks".
I guess for non-employees out in public still wearing masks, I could ask them "So is someone requiring you to wear a mask?" :)
I just tell them I hope they get to feeling better and look at them with a "bless your heart" look.
Or blow their mind and create some fact like "I heard the carbon from discarded masks is one of the leading causes of our current climate crisis."
good one!
I extend mask wearers the same courtesy that I ask of them - just leave me alone. They have every right to be stupid. The only thing that concerns me is that the more people that wear masks the more government thinks we will comply on other things.
Which is why we need to wake the remaining few idiots, in regard to masks, up.
"Got a big pimple, eh?"
Make the shirt say:
"Take off your mask and smell the Bullshit."
I just fog my glasses breathing through my shirt and tell them if a droplet of water can get through, so can a virus. 2 sec science experiment. They shut up fast.

I have to really control myself or this would be me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBS_Ukbe2Vk
They wont listen. They're too far gone. They're a blight on this nation and like necrotic flesh need to be excised.
I watched a group of masked duhs walk by a food cart. One of the masked people talked about how good the food smelled. 🤪
Nothing like smelling food through a dirty sock :)
When I see a child wearing a mask with their mother, I would call her a terrible mother. They get so angry.
