how do you feel about masks

[tootingyoda]

No mask no problem, so long as you don't invade my personal space. It makes me have an uncontrollable coughing fit if you do, and I may have to remove my mask to let it out. Who knows where my germs will end up.

I don't think this is a valid reason though? Surely the whole point of wearing the mask is if you have covid but are asymptomatic. If you are not healthy, then you should be self-isolating.

I think that was tongue in cheek mate. A joke. [emoji6] [emoji16]

The silly thing is I could, at a push, see some of those as being real. I knew someone who had acne so bad her face was literally purple/red and pustulating. it was truly awful and I'm pretty sure she would have had to wear a visor instead of a mask.
Anyway, I'm fully caffeinated now so normal service will resume shortly.

It wouldn't surprise me if those parts were real. It was the part where Andy said you don't have to wear a mask if you are healthy and didn't want to wear one that I'm sure was a joke [emoji6]

Something I've just read -

But here's where it gets tricky: None of the health agencies specify any health conditions that would constitute a mask exemption—and some health professionals don't believe these stated, unspecific exemptions for surgical masks or cloth face coverings are necessary. "There are no known medical conditions aside from a severe skin condition [like a very severe burn that needs medical attention] on your face that would prevent a person from wearing this type of mask,” David Kaufman, MD, pulmonologist and director of the medical ICU at Tisch Hospital, tells Health. “If you can wear a scarf to keep your face warm in the winter, you can wear a mask to prevent the spread of disease

It is a bit of a grey area. I don't like 'mask bullies' any more than I like 'lame excuses'.

I'm of the same opinion. I personally don't want to wear a mask but I am doing because it is now required by law.
There is NO (or extremely few) reason not to wear one for the short time required. If your breathing is that bad that you can't breath through a thin bit of cloth (we're not talking about a respirator here) then perhaps you shouldn't be venturing outside at the moment.
