My grandfather can't wear a mask as he has a lung disease and can breath without it. So my family and I shop for him.

The irony about people who complain about masks is that if they catch covid then they'll be having a worse time breathing.

Nice job grandma. Now he’s definitely hospitalized for that take down.

I work in a wood shop with no ac, still wear my mask

Awesome response on her about mask, but when something goes down at subway she’s gonna wish she had that gun with her.

I was happy until she shoe-horned some weird antigun sentiment in there. Once again conflating x with y and polarizing us once more

Here in SEA we have haze season. It's normal to wear a mask and have a stock at home. These people should try breath when the air is smoke.

I cut up an old Under Armor shirt and made a mask out of it. Works great, its a lot cooler than others I've tried.

you mean the fabric specifically designed to pass heat/humidity/moisture? well done on the hollow gesture, sir!

Carrying a firearm is nothing to trash. Not wearing a mask is completely unacceptable.

I am asthmatic. I work in a grocery store. I am constantly moving (grocery stocker). I wear my mask +8 hrs a day, other times I am home.

Wear your motherfuckin mask

Where dod the gun comment come from lol

Srsly that just lumps all the pro gun people with the anti maskers. A person can be pro gun and pro mask

I work in manufacturing and have to wear a surgical mask, safety glasses, and a face shield 8 hours a day. Get over it.
CidColetti
Wahhhhh I don't wanna wear a mask wahhhhh. Fuck off and just wear it and stop pissing and moaning.
Hanska01
I’d rather be a little sweaty, and try to keep my germs to myself, than risk other people’s safety for some breeze.
mallerzkay
Before masks were a thing and before there were stayathome orders I was shopping and an elderly woman was right up in my face talking to me-

About Covid and I remember thinking "don't breathe on her don't breathe" cuz she got so close to me and I was really nervous about getting -

You know it amazes me I have friends who wear masks to do yard work in the summer for an entire day. Then claim wearing the mask in a store
tacticalattackterriers
People wear masks for yardwork? Is it just for dirt? I thought we all agreed to just spit out the occasional bit of grit.
Vodom
It’s typically for allergies prevents you from taking in too much pollen or grass
tacticalattackterriers
Ohhhh, that makes more sense. I would never have thought about them being effective in that instance.
Vodom
Is just unreasonably uncomfortable

I've heard being intubated is VERY uncomfortable!

Am I the only that's pro gun that's also pro mask, police reform, free healthcare & education, and political term limits?
DropKickHead
I am glad to live in a state that has both concealed carry without permit, AND a statewide mask mandate
dinkage
Not the only one.
tesseract4d2
it's irrelevant anyway. you can carry a concealed gun while wearing a medical facemask. every single state with a law regarding not wearing
tesseract4d2
a face covering while carrying a concealed weapon specifies "for the intent of concealing your identity" in some form. if you have a medical
tesseract4d2
reason to wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth, you can still carry. now if you also wear a hat and a balaclava, you might have a
tesseract4d2
problem, but wearing a surgical mask is not an issue. call your local police and verify if you don't believe me.

No but the idiots get all the press. There are dozens of us!

Nobody needs to go to Subway. That place doesn't even qualify as food.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Wearing a mask sucks. Not as much as getting / spreading a serious respiratory illness. It's an easy choice if you aren't completely immoral
Bukkhockey
She's right up until the gun comment. That's just good old fashioned ignorance.
lakenorman360
In NC gang of anti maskers went into a Subway during their ‘protest’ carrying big guns.,had to protect themselves from sandwich eaters.
DropKickHead
That's stupid. Those are stupid gun owners.
thedownlowe
One of my neighbors is nearly 60, works in bakery, has asthma, had part of a lung removed & he always wears his mask! Even doing yardwork!
Dinos91
My mom has severe asthma, my step dad COPD. They wear N95 masks everywhere they go, and only take them off at home. No complaints from them
Darksnider05
Probably doesn't need to wear it while doing Yard-work, unless it's for other non covid reasons.
vingtvingt
Dust is bad for your lungs. Yard work, even weeding, kicks up lots of dust, mold, and pollen. Protect your lungs if you’re able.
thedownlowe
He never used to. I think it's because his next door neighbor is super elderly always walks up &talks his ear off while he works.
Sefforia
I don’t think masks are greater than social distancing so it’s kinda weird that he doesn’t just tell the old lady we’re in a pandemic and
Sefforia
She needs to stay away from him. Masks are good but the only 100% is staying away from people in general. Shouldn’t be around others...
Sefforia
For such a silly reason as “grandma likes to talk to me while I pull my weeds”.

As someone with asthma, yard work and house cleaning are the absolute worst. Particles. So many particles.
mirrelle
Yeah it's been nice having masks to wear when cleaning tbh. Didn't own any pre covid
RunsNakedThroughSwamps
Masks are a lifesaver for cleaning! I only start to die inside when I take it off
aIohasnackbar
Same. If I can push mow my yard for 4 hours at a time in 96f temps w/70% humidity while wearing a mask, these fuckwits can wear one to Aldi.
CAWriter
Yes! All this has me thinking I should wear a mask more often, not less. I like being able to breathe
ahnteis
I'm hoping it catches on for regular colds/flu. I've felt so much better staying away from people and not catching their bugs.
mallerzkay
I was camping over the weekend and went into the store on campground for batteries. They don't have AC and it was really hot, of course -
mallerzkay
I wore my mask but holy shit I was embarrassed by the sweat that had formed under my mask. As soon as I saw they were out of stock I ran -
mallerzkay
Outside so I could take the mask off. That's the only store I have ever been remotely uncomfortable in though. Most stores have air flow.
vingtvingt
My 5th grade teacher had one lung and would go on long runs every morning before school. Total badass. A mask is not going to kill anyone.
bananakitten
While wearing a mask?! That is BA.
vingtvingt
I mean I didn’t see him running so maybe.
Mpisinchanga
Dang that puts me to shame.

His name was Mr Bates. So he had that going for him too. If you’re reading this Mr Bates, you’re awesome and I’ll never forget you!

What's the point of the mask while doing yard work? Is he afraid of catching the virus from grass and weeds?

His super elderly neighbor gets up in his business while he works. I think he does it for her.
longjohnz2219
At least he is actually wearing the fucking thing. People in FL gas stations don't give a fuck about a mask. Lol

It's really telling how poorly anti-maskers would go down on a woman, if at all.

Sorry if I cause offense, but it appears that Americans are the ones challenging this whole mask thing, despite leading the world in deaths

Im in AL and our mask mandate goes into effect tonight. My coworkers and I were jumping for joy when we heard it because we work

grocery and we've been getting sick left and right because 3/4 of our customers dont wear masks. It killed my manager's husband
OrbitalSloth
Some Americans, let’s not confuse the selfish fucks with the status quo. They’re always around but they’re not the norm.

I understand, chum. I am totally on the side of you sensible folks, and am only decrying the dumbies n selfish sillies out there

Stop saying "Americans", it's "American Republicans".

Our town had an anti-mask protest. One of the smoothbrains was wearing a mask, while protesting. Because they're in a vulnerable category.

Spreading diseases isn't a right. Public health concerns override personal inconveniences.
SneakyEmu2
You're the smooth brain here. That guy was protesting the fact that government doesn't have the power to mandate masks.
Xenophemera
If you hate that you should definitely not read about how the government mandatorily inoculates all service men/women.

Thank you, bird brain (scoff)

Except they do. Especially in an emergency.

Oh, that's a fact, huh? Weird how that word gets thrown about.
SnowpersonHitInTheFaceWithALackOfCreativity
By.. wearing a mask?
Cr4zyC4tLady
They aren’t forcing anyone to do anything. They’re just saying that you not allowed in certain places if you don’t wear one. That’s it.
ratfaceddog
If he wants the government to have the power to mandate masks, why was he protesting alongside anti-maskers?
SneakyEmu2
Hes not against masks. He's against government thinking it has the power to mandate masks.
ratfaceddog
Then why would be protest the “fact” that it doesn’t?
SneakyEmu2
... Because the government is trying to mandate masks. He doesn't believe they should be able to do that.
LouisTesso
So government SHOULD have the power to mandate masks. I agree and so does your law.
Cryolith
But they do. US Supreme Court, Jacobson v Mass., 1905. You're 100 yrs late, cupcake.

That's cool. But if they were vulnerable, they shouldn't have gone. Wearing a mask doesn't protect you. It prevents spread to others...
clucja1
It does actually help you as well. But not nearly as much as it helps others
BiggestofBears
Well yes, a bit. But going to an anti-mask protest while being high risk is just asking to be infected.
TheFrenchGirl
Think again about what kind of people you are talking about.
Surbies
No medical reason exempts you from wearing a mask if that’s the companies policy. Look up Direct Threat clause in ADA.
ILaughAndCryEveryDayFromU
I thought you were leading into a burn joke. Very disappointed
LooseyGooseyBrett
A random person never meets the definition of a direct threat.
kontu037
our states mask requirement has a "medically unable to wear a mask" clause. so everyone feigns under that. Businesses post signs saying 1/2
kontu037
"no mask? you must have a medical condition we trust you come on in" 2/2
Surbies
Well your state is stupid and will probably learn their lesson soon.
kontu037
part of me hopes so :/

I looked it up on the government website for employers and it said there are religious and health exceptions for accommodations to be made

garamasike
Read the section in your link about reasonable accommodations. If a business offers options like these, they can deny entry w/o masks.
ButtTrumpett
Unless they have asthma. It says the business needs to first verify the individual and then make accommodations, not default to broad scope
ButtTrumpett
This is confusing. This is why businesses are defaulting to let’s not get sued don’t enforce - that’s the operating procedure now in FLA
DhuQarnayn
It's not confusing. You're borderline illiterate.
ExecutorHideo
She mentioned not needing a Gun. I dont usually need/carry one but the anti-maskers are getting more violent about their plague-spreading...
Jacksdismay
I recently took a flight where thise with a medical reason not to wear a mask had to wear a face shield. Seemed faur to me.
Jacksdismay
But even then i think everyone can handle wearing a mask. It is compulsory if you are in public where i live now.
TheTrueKingoftheCats
My partner has bad asthma and masks make it hard to breathe. We just shopped around to find one that works and found one she loves!

Yep, same. And if I *really* can’t wear one on a given day, I stay the fuck home

They usually just have to have an alt. method, which most do w/ websites, so they're w/i their rights to ban you from the physical store.
Ibeenhanginaround

If your breathing is so impaired that you can't wear a mask, then covid will kill you stone dead, so stay the fuck at home.
AintNoRestForTheWookie
Yup. Had a lady tell me that she, her husband and three kids had a health condition that meant they couldn't wear masks. All I could think>

awkwardbeautiful
If you absolutely 100% refuse, do the car drop off shopping, buy online and have delivered to your home. Just stay away from people.
meteorcow
I think it's mostly a principle thing for them. It's not about the mask per se, it's about people disagreeing with Trump
XanderCorsaj
Too sensible mate. No covidiots listen to sense. It'd be ok if they just removed themselves from the gene pool, but they endanger us all
Slindrin
My sister in law refuses to wear masks (she drives me nuts with her choices) but at least she uses the grocery drop off and is kind about it
Dinos91
They won't. They want to be loud cry babies, because the other loud crybabies back them up and they feel all warm and fuzzy inside

Yeah the ones who are outspoken in this genuinely think they are somehow doing good. Gotta be really stupid to believe that but here we are

TBH this is the way to go anyways- I hate masks but will absolutely wear one..but damn having groceries delivered is nice

Seriously. I told my husband even if/when things go back to normal, groceries are being delivered. No impulse buying, so money goes to tips
Anonaru
This- we dropped a ton of bad habit foods and tip the workers buckets, everybody wins haha
JollyWatson
Are some companies not charging for delivery? Can't believe I didn't think about how this is even less contact so maybe we should all

At least here, Kroger is $9.95 per delivery, Walmart 7.95 per delivery or $13/month for unlimited so that’s what we are doing.

Perhaps I could afford the subscription service, at least during the pandemic it might be a good thing ty for the idea
