When people are concerned about catching an infection, you haven’t a God\u002Dgiven right to force them to breathe in your air just because you don’t want to wear a mask

And this was only the first weekend of mandatory masking.

There is currently no particularly strong statistical reason to compel us to cover our faces when in privately-owned, public spaces.Article content continued We have fewer than half the number of active cases as Calgary and even Calgary doesn’t have enough cases to justify its council’s decision to make masks mandatory.

Despite the fact Alberta has had a sleight uptick in cases since the provincial government began to lift its lockdown more than two months ago, we have nowhere near the infection levels we had in April. But, similarly, you haven’t the right to force anyone to risk getting the virus from your unmasked face. Their body, their choice.

Humm ,... so you say in the article, “There is currently no particularly strong statistical reason to compel us to cover our faces when in privately-owned, public spaces.” It is a “progressive” control issue - so why would you support wearing a mask. Weird contradiction.

I believe all drugs should b legal ie I don’t need druggies jailed. But if u want to talk about health ... mandatory no cigarette or alcohol or drug use. Oh & no obesity. Then you’d have such a massive reduction in need for health care that we’d all b swimming in $ saved.

C19 has done it's intended job. The world is now divided. I'm going with old-school cautionary skepticism. It comes from being around long enough to understand Goebbels influence and the mirroring taking place today. FBGoogleTwatterAndOnAndOnAreModernDayEmulatorsOfGoebbels

Would it not be more logical that people wore N95 masks to protect themselves, rather than forcing everyone to wear masks that barely provide any protection for anyone? COVID19 COVIDIOT

peteypopetey According to who

So are flat earthers, but they still can't be convinced.

If you're afraid of catching a virus you have to protect YOURSELF (by staying home). You can't assume everyone has the virus and then require everyone to protect you. Just like you can't lock up every muslim because a handful of them are terrorists.

Mandatory 2km jog 3 times a week. How about it

anyone who believes that underwear strapped to your face saves is on shaky ground ... we have literally abandoned science

Flimsy logic in this article. You can’t limit 90% + of the population to accommodate the ones that are genuinely at high risk health wise or just paranoid. Society makes that choice every day.

Really. Sweden. No shutdown, no isolation, no masks.

Oh really, so you are calling all of Holland and Sweden shaky logic. What a trash article!

A very weak argument presented in this article. I noticed that he didn't mention Japan as a masking success story, and the reason is that story has fallen apart in recent weeks. So now Japan doesn't exist anymore.

My body my choice

Could care less what anyone else does I have a life. I don’t have the need to live someone else’s.

Pro-maskers are on shaky ethical, logical, and scientific grounds. 1-madated mask = medical tyranny 2-Logic says masks would be important 4 months ago *Risk mitigation associated with masks is lower than the drug HCQ 3-Science on masks effectiveness incomplete, no sci evidence.
