GT89 wrote: » Do the silent majority actually want to and like wearing. The so called "benefits" of wearing them have been talked about for months now so if people like and want to wear why weren't they wearing them 2 months ago. It's only been since they became required by law that people have actually started wearing them which suggests people are only wearing to comply not because it's something they actually want to do.

If people are doing so now out of compliance, happy days! Put it like this, if the mask proponents are wrong, what is the worst that can happen? Nobody dies or is exposed to any kind of risk bar a minor inconvenience! As opposed to if you're wrong ....

I mean, it's a negligible inconvenience for you to keep a helmet in your car, and you might save your family and society the trouble of looking after a vegetable by doing so. What sort of sociopath wouldn't want to do that?
RoYoBo wrote: » You're absolutely right there - I DO expect people to wear masks regardless of whether they want to or not. Just as I expect people to comply with other health and safety regulations, such as not smoking or drink driving or defecating in the street. As for the rest of your post ... sometimes there is just no response worthy of a ridiculous suggestion.

Why don't we all crawl around the place on our hands and knees then as the virus that would mean the virus could travel to the ground quicker and not suspend in the air if that's your argument. Sure it's only a minor convience and if crawling around on your hands and knees dosen't work what harm is done.

I can choose not to drive or travel (albeit with extreme difficulty) but I cannot choose not to breathe. Your breath and emissions become mine, whether I want them or not.

With masks the majority don't want to wear them so shouldn't have to just because a small few want them. How is my post riddiculous. If the governemnt advised people to crawl on their hands and knees you'd do it and then you'd campaign them to make it law and when it became law you'd call people walking normally scumbags. In my personal opinion wearing a mask in public is just as riddiculous as crawling around on your hands and knees.
