Scientists say wearing a face mask is one of the most simple and effective ways people can help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. But a minority of Americans refuse to do so.

Personal freedom, distrust of science or plain old discomfort are some reasons people cite for eschewing face coverings during the pandemic

In his first White House coronavirus briefing since April, President Trump appeared to reverse his stance on masks, saying, “Whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact, they’ll have an effect.” Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images

Maybe, but only 5% wear one out of choice. The other 90% who wear one do so in order to be nice, law and rule abiding citizens. Check it out. Go somewhere with no mandate. 5%

In Europe no one is wearing masks anymore

So if the majority are wearing masks and you are reporting that the spread continues the masks really have nothing to do slowing the spread. Hmmmmm

If they insist on being our enemies then start gunning them down. Fuck ' em.

“Notice how quickly the ‘stay home & save lives’ crowd, went ‘you must support the protests’ & then back to ‘stay home & save lives’ & now ‘wear a mask or kill someone’. Basically whatever the media tells them. This has been the greatest experiment in Civil Obedience in history.”

Because all the science before March 2020 didn’t support general use of cloth face coverings. For two months politicians, surgeon generals, CDC & WHO all said they weren’t needed. This isn’t difficult. COVID19

If you put any type of covering then it will cover up something for sure. 🙄 It’s call shut your mouth up care of politics.

“Slow the spread” is what mask Nazis ignore. We are all going to be exposed to COVID, so strengthen your immune system like you would any virus.

Yep. Ran into one of those yesterday. I have a sister who thinks that. She thinks she should be able to convince me that it’s not a thing.

Isn’t that surprising? The same scientist who claimed a mask doesn’t help and isn’t healthy are the same who today are telling that in stops the virus. There where more harmful pandemics in the past and none was obliged to wear one. Something isn't right about the all story

There is no win with stupidity. How many hate crimes happened to Asian Americans/Chinese because they were the first ones to wear mask?

Transfer the health insurance PowerOfThePurse from businesses to individuals and watch this country quickly change for the better. Multiple risk pool EmployerSponsored health insurance with all its addendums is just a form of Oppression.

NOT wearing a mask is about the only power they have as oppressed, working class, indebted renters with high-deductible Obamacare plans.

Why are you listing this same tweet every day?

This whole thing is a farce and it has made me aware of how much freedom we DO NOT HAVE!

Because they said exactly the opposite 4 months ago?

Gee, maybe it’s because the moron in charge has the full support of the country’s largest business media conglomerate.

Where are the test results that this is actually true? Surely scientists conducted a trial to show the outcome? Post please.

I am a WSJ subscriber and I thought you had a few articles some months ago that concluded masks are ineffective.

Because they are selfish. Wonder how many of those MyBodyMyChoice are also pro-lifers IronyMuch

This is bullshit and they know it

a) Stupidity. b) Ignorance. c) Stubbornness. d) All of the above. If it were a small percentage of the population, we'd be doing better than we are. Depending on where you live, it can be as much as 50%-60% of the population. Hence, the critical situation we're now in!

U call them a 'minority of Americans,' I call them IDIOTS

Probably because there are plenty of scientists who say masks do not prevent the spread of the virus. You just going to pretend those scientists do not exist?

Isn’t the disbelief of science the first sign of a nations downfall?

Because they are selfish and disrespectful of their fellow citizens.

Because they don’t work when not an N95 and worn correctly, changed often and in a sterile environment (disposed of properly and hands washed)...worn incorrectly (like most everyone does) it does more harm than good.

Because they scream ‘MuH FrEEDUMZ’!

NYPost_Serby Now imagine if quack Fauci hadn’t deliberately told us to not wear masks in March to prevent the spread from getting out of control in the first place

Or they are wearing them incorrectly not covering their nose, or a bandanna open on the bottom.

Wonder how many attended high school or any school at all

Ignorance

Stupid/selfish

Because they don’t like the idea of the goverment telling them what they HAVE to wear

Because they are idiots. Simple

jimetoo Where do Americans rank among other countries on rate of obesity, on anti-vaccine, on maternal mortality rate, on quality of public education, on respect for science? I know a question doesn't answer a question but, ...

I wear a mask as thin as a stocking. It’s still a face covering even tho it’s a false sense of security. It’s not about safety, it’s about compliance.

The irrefutable scientific fact is, wearing masks does NOT prevent virus spread or transmission. Democrat & left-media claims to the contrary are belied by their claims that violent riots by Antifa & BLM don’t spread virus, or Democrat political rallies at funerals are fine.

In USA everything is Politics even science facts.

It’s not a minority you out of touch fake news. Masks are bullshit and we all know it.

that;s it, spread the word people refuse to wear masks vile pr*cks

These people have been infected with the other Corona virus, the kind that makes them think they are kings and queens who couldn't care less about everyone else, including their old neighbors and grandparents. As we can see, this virus is deadlier.

Maybe they think they are so handsome/pretty that they don’t want to cover their faces, not even partially. They are so confident of their looking !!

If the Dems stop to provoke, inspire and support rioting and looting ... This will help too. A lot!

Proably because the jack booted left wing governors and mayors won't open their States if their people wear masks. It's about power and control which is why its ok to protest, riot, crowd together at left wing funerals, paint blm on streets, and the other things the left loves

COVID19

'The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.'

we, average americans, are expected to just wake up one day and be ready for this? there are several exercises and an extensive training program which must be completed before the first time a ninja even puts on a mask

Because we were told we were to flatten the curve. It's flattened. The goalposts keep moving and we're annoyed. Plus, there's NO END in sight. Try giving us objective criteria and then maybe we'll think about it.

Science is DeaD!

👍👍

Because at first the scientists said masks were useless. They lied to people.

I think maybe they don't believe what some scientists are saying because those scientists keep changing their mind. Maybe a team of actual doctors would be a better choice of experts? Masks

A mask can make it hard to breathe and is not fun, not unique, not pretty. Where can people stay healthy without wearing a mask? Their home, private or uncrowded areas. Wearing a mask is the price for their freedom and opportunities outside. Be fair to self and others!

That minority is called the base. Or Cult 45.

Jesus didn't wear mask.

Scientists say that it‘s ineffective

Natural selection.

just wear a mask i don't know why that's so difficult for some people.

Let them die

And this week's Darwin Award goes to.......Nevada! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cuz trump politicized it making it an us vs them thing. Totally irresponsible.

President ShitForBrains setting a fine example.

Because, scientists also said a two week lockdown to slow the spread.

People with common sense say we’re not going to live in a masked world because of a virus with a 99%+ survivability rate.

For all you smug amateur professors I'm reading in the replies, here ya go

If they don’t comply, they or others could die.

The people who won’t wear masks are invariably Republicans and Assholes. But I repeat myself...

Don’t tread on me.

IF THEY COVER THEIR NOSE TOO!! TELL NADLER THAT!!!

If you want to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft without a parachute you have every right to do so. You do not however, have the right to endanger people and property as your body impacts the ground. Ergo, remain isolated and go mask-free to your heart's desire.

'scientists say'. Please spare me. They've been all over the map on this since day one & most studies find they're only marginally effective against virus micron particles.

Friends, there is an important live telecast for you here. Tap play here and watch 👇👇

People fighting for their right to contract and spread illness. Only in this America.

Some hints: Aids Condoms Voodoculture

Effective for C19 and many other communicable diseases/viruses! WearMask WashHands SocialDistance

Perhaps because it belies common sense. Coronavirus molecules are smaller than the spaces between the face mask fibers. Think marble through a tennis net. Also, what we were told initially (see Fauci's March interviews) is contradictory. Was he lying then or is ne lying now?

, your owner also owns Foxnews which has spread a lot of disinformation and ignored the benefits of masks for a very long time. Ask him why some Americans refuse to wear masks.

For a country who ranks 24th in science, this isn’t that surprising.

Some people refuse to wear face masks because their stupid and should probably get out of the gene pool. Next

If masks are so wonderful and you wear one....why are you worried about others

A minority of Americans also believe the moon landing was fake, the Earth is flat, and Tide Pods are part of a balanced breakfast.

They're called 'Trumpers.'

It is a bit helpful - but sorry it just not a helpful as the hype. There are just too many places were people were mask and still get it. Touch is the way it mainly spreads.

The same minority that believes in Qanon.

Why should we believe the scientists now? There is a more up to date recommendation from the Netherlands.

All of these people should go in for a simple surgical procedure and demand the surgeon not wear a mask as they’ve been doing for ages. Yes, masks work.

Yes, especially those politicians who have been completely exempted. What message does that send to the American public?

Bunch of Inept's useful to Covid

Republican minority, yes.

But yet so many Americans remain confused. Idiots. Please follow and check out my latest article:

McClain_on_NFL BillClintonIsAPedo

When did spreading Covid19 become a God given right? Covid_19 sundayvibes coronavirus

Muy simple Son IDIOTAS

📌

This is why? Hypocrites?

A minority of americans refuse to believe in reality.

How about a $7,500.00 fine and 90 days in jail. Would that do it?. Currently the punishment is NOTHING!!!

Out of the gene pool💥

Here in Japan, we have to wear a mask in the prerense of others. There is no penalty, if we don't wear a mask. But people think they are crazy and they finally become afraid of others and wear a mask...

They are stupid until they are recovered from hospital beds. If they are lucky to pull through! Keep following Trump...

trump poisoned the well.

Where’s your uptake of the medical doctors that praised the use of HCQ?

Because the scientists you are mentioning are politically biased.

Some people won’t wear masks, because the Government says so... they love to defy the government

Frankly, depending upon where you live, it ISN'T the minority. In SC, about 50% of the state's population refuses to wear masks. So closing bars at 11 p.m. DOESN'T help our situation. But that's McMaster's game-plan!

Because the majority will never come to truth, leave it to us, the minority, to follow decades of established science that concludes masks don’t work. Your “science” is fad.

Seems your science is becoming a whole lotta bull craps these days...

For the same reasons guys don’t like wearing rubbers. Personal pleasure is the primary concern.

sonokocentral TRUMP VOTERS REFUSE. Please mention this.

“Scientists”

They are stupid?

But you keep reporting an increase in cases so it would appear the masks have no affect to mitigate the spread

What a DILEMMA!Damned if you do and damned if you don't! The choice is ours. it's less than only 2% of us that might die. The hell with the MASK..but what IF our GRAND mother or G father or mother, father,family member, neighbor,friend,etc. is in that % because of a face cover...

Because they don’t like to be told to do it, especially by the media.

Fake news

Love blocking trolls, I could do it all day. But not as much as I love blocking covid. WEAR A MASK.

They didn't eat Fauci Flakes !fauciflakes

Watched someone just outside the Walmart doors pull his mask down to sneeze

ONE WORD. TRUMP

Because they have the stupid gene

Why are we still reporting on this? We know why, they’re selfish and don’t care about their neighbors health and well being.

They also elected Trump.......stupidity is at an all-time high

Because the leader of our country is a moron. This isn’t difficult.

Just that the evidence is poor that masks make any difference in the general public. A little detail you would know if you practiced journalism,WSJ.

Yes, let’s talk about this some more

Lies. I am canceling my subscription for real!!!!

Cuz we're not fucking stupid sheep like you all wish we were!

That is a lie, flat out, most 'masks' specific say they do not prevent transmission of covid 19. Do journalism and maybe read the side of a box

Yea, we know what you mean when you say ‘the minority’ it means exactly the opposite. It means the mayority is just fed up with this bullshit, and a minority supports your crap. Your fkn Nazzi propaganda fromthe 40s is just plain stupid and antiquated

It is their choice to wear one or not and I respect that fact. I wear mine to protect My family My mother in law 82 yo The people I work around Myself Yes they are uncomfortable at times but it is better then being sick or worst GBU all

Scientists also say that you develop or catch 'hypoxia' from wearing them too long. They also say mask will not prevent anyone from catching covid. Amazing how only certain science gets mentioned.

wish i knew the answer

They are special!

Actually SocialDistancing WashYourHands are more effective. You wear masks when you cannot do these two things . People are always adjusting their masks with infected hands thus making the masks dangerous. CDCgov Fauci drdavidsamadi

We are not a minority and we know what you and the other servants of the Oligarchy are doing.

Masks don’t stop the virus

Some scientists say. The science remains quite mixed. Some studies say they are no help, some studies say masks are harmful, others say they are helpful.

If you want to know why some people won't strap on a Darth Vader V-FOR-VENDETTA face mask it's because the media and psychiatry in this world, in large part have melded into one giant mentally ill superiority complex over the government that's allowed it. Tell me I'm wrong.

Except for the scientist in Sweden.

That minority - TRUMPITES- are spreading the virus and KILLING INNOCENT FOLKS. Cannot over come Stupidity

Making it political

Einstein said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.' Do something new! Clearing the people not wearing a mask aren't going to start now no matter how many daily stories are done.

Notice they say minority. So why does the count keep going up? Seems suspicious....

'It's not the quality of the mask, or how your wear it. It's the thought that counts' - dumb politicians, dumb WSJ writers, dumb Americans.

Slim chance that the people who don't wear masks are going to start now no matter how many articles are done. So please, just stop shoving mask-wearing down our throats.

Make it a criminal offense and jail them. Spreaders kill.

A really good majority of us have been consistently wearing masks, so come on I can't believe we haven't made some good progress. Why can't we hear more about the progress? We're wearing masks, hating them, but still wearing them. So please stop shoving them down our throats.

Except scientists don’t say that and except Bill Nye the fake science guy. Wearing masks is stupid, senseless, silly, and downright servile. Masks are absolutely worthless when it comes to preventing viral spread. Just saying otherwise over and over again doesn’t make it true.

I'm doing it now under duress.

I dont think they are stupid

Ask the Conservative Party in Canada. They embraced science & medical advice, and guess what? Canada is back in business because everyone complied

Not wearing a mask is like walking at the battlefield without a gun. covid19

Other scientists say that is complete bullshit. And?

Aren't they the same segment of pop. who promoted themselves as the 'antivaxxers?' They must have known the ramifications for refusing to take effective Vaccines. Their actions ought not to hinder the safety and survival of the rest of WeThePeople and the world at large atrupar

The people who are against masks no doubt failed science and math in school.

Old navy says other thing

WearAMask

Half of the population is below average.

Cuz they are morons.

Not for the Americans

Some of us know that slowing things down only drag out the damage done to families and the economy.

If humans needed to wear masks God would have outfit toys with one out of the womb. In fact Goddid, it’s called nose halo.

Because they are selfish and stupid, and only care about themselves, period.

Covidiots minority !

Bc they are idiots. They're most likely also flat earthers and climate change deniers

This is what REAL scientists actually wear when studying the novel coronavirus in a virology lab. But you think your flimsy cloth mask is adequate protection against infection from viruses? Really? 😆

Because of an insane belief their ‘rights’ are being suppressed, and an endless supply of ridiculously biased media and plucked data from dubious sources that allows fellow conspiracy theorists to collectively argue their beliefs with righteous indignation

'Health care workers with adequate gloves, gowns and face masks still had 3.4 times the risk of contracting the coronavirus compared to the general population, the study found, and minority health care workers had an even greater risk of testing positive'

To do so means lifestyle adjustments. It means that sports fixation,bars& parties,and large gatherings averted. We do not need lecturers on the behavior to prevent deadly disease. We need compliance,pure and simple..6 ft...mask wearing..

There is no credible science that supports mask wearing. Even the manufacturers admit they don't work.

BS. This is all propaganda.

Scientists also once said that bloodletting was cutting edge treatment

Why shouldn’t people question the mask mandates when The CDC released a report stating asymptomatic transmission of the virus is extremely rare and unlikely? The point of the masks was to stop asymptomatic transmission. Sick people can stay home and wear masks, like the flu

Maybe because 2 months ago they said NOT to wear masks?

We want to be protected at home when we don’t wear masks. So we nailed chicken wire over the doors and windows. My math says that will be as effective in filtering out 0.12 micron viruses as an N95 mask.

Oh do they?

Plain Stupidity

Because they can’t breathe?🤔

150,000 deaths later, the official COVID-19 world's epicenter for the past 3 months, Americans still discussing if they should wear masks.

The study they link to is based on health care workers only. There is still no evidence that masking the general population prevents the spread of Covid.

Ask the Dutch. Their scientists said no to masks.

Poor leadership

Maybe you could get the so called protesters to stop going to other states to “protest” without social distancing, wearing masks, or bleeding on each other when they decide to not be so peaceful. Just a thought.

Protesting is the only outdoor activity you can do today where you can scream and shout and break all the rules - and the police protect you not arrest you.

You’re never going to get 100% compliance on anything. I wear a mask, but I don’t eat enough vegetables. No program or communication strategy is going to change me. Same with masks.

Because their republicans taking after Trump.

Big towns (1-10 million) are different from small towns - White Bear Lake (24,000 inhabitants). Easy solved by wearing a mask where it’s more crowded with people. Not alone in the streets and car.

LOL... Stupid ass Trumpers just assuring the orange idol will not get reelected. Let them spread it amongst themselves. Natural selection at work.

Just one simple act, and we could get back to a semblance of 'normal.'

Assholes

Cant blame Americans, those scientists spent the lots of months preaching masks do not protect aganist the virus They need to apologize for misleading America!

We call the minority who won't wear a mask..morons!

Too many are not wearing masks often enough as there are too many cases. Wear a mask. Help all Americans to vote safely. =

It’s not a minority

Why is this surprising? Scientists have been telling people that smoking causes cancer for over 60 years and they’re still not getting that.

Because they are as dumb as dry wall.

So the scientists in European countries, like Sweden and Holland, who have advocated against masks - because they can even help to spread disease - are wrong?

The smarter ones know better plus forcing us is unconstitutional. Did I answer you?

You’re conflating N95 use with cloth and surgeon masks. That’s the difference.

... scientists...

1. Their lord and Savior Jesus Trump doesn't. 2. They think a piece of fabric is controlling them and limiting their freedom. 3. They think the whole thing is a conspiracy. 4. They have zero common decency. 5. They have zero common sense.

Because we ain’t scared

Fake news

You mean scientists cherry picked by the presstitute media, while conveniently ignoring all dissenting opinion.

trump supporters (we're watching evolution in real time)

Convince me that any style and type of material WORKS as a preventative against covid virus. Because that is what they are mandating.

Science says the virus is too small for masks. In fact, it goes right through it easily. Stop spreading fear.

But they also point out that the slowing is negligible

mostly the grossly uneducated masks

“But a minority of Americans refuse to do so.... because they listen to the people we, at WSJ, routinely publish in our Op Eds”. There, fixed it for you.

Because their idiot president doesn’t.

If that is a 'minority' then a 'minority' of my bodyis covered by clothes when I walk down the street. Hell, I'm a fucking public nudist.

If GOP leaders advocate mask wearing, this fringe group would follow suit.

Where are these people located and is their state, county, or city red or blue? PUHLEEEAASSEE, look into this. It will be a really neat info map. Can y'all hook that up? P&TY

Minority of Americans? Let us be more specific shall we: trump supporters.

Agree, but smoking has long been known to cause cancer, COPD, and a decreased immune system, which is causing many to die from Covid19, but millions of Americans refuse to quit. We should be having the biggest anti-smoking capaign ever to save future lives....but tax revenue

The first I wearied a face mask I could not breath...………….

Those same scientists that earlier told the world,that wearing a mask didn’t make sense

Because it doesn’t get rid of anything. Hiding doesn’t get rid of it either. Duh.

It’s not minority, majority of Trump supporters (40% population) believe mask don’t work and H and Z is wonder drug combination for COVID-19. Some trust anecdotal evidence more.

Prez Trump started the 'no mask' ball rolling! Even recently he encouraged people to wear... well, a bit too late and he is not even serious about it! That is truly NOT MAGA for not able to unite to fight COVID-19. RIP 150K.

There are all kind of masks. Are decorative masks effective? Does fitting matter ? I had thought science is about seriousness and accuracy.

Because they’ve been told this is the land of free.

Because they know it’s a bunch of BS.

“Scientists say” and “Scientists published an new research study in the .... journal.” Is not the same thing. COVID19 MaskUp

Looks like Twitter shadow band my response

These people vote. That’s why we’re in this mess.

If Hydroxychloroquine gets used immediately and properly dosed and mixed, would Coronavirus COVID-19 deaths fall too? Experts say yes! Some disagree but the ineffective studies are getting retracted, not disclosing details or overdosing patients in some reports.

We could have been so far if everyone just listened.

Who are they BLM thugs?

So, back to supporting masks? Cloth masks? Or can I pull a shirt up over mouth and nose?

We’ve been wearing masks in Los Angeles pretty much since the beginning and the cases still went up.

Do we wear masks during every flu season?

Evidence? 47 years of studies said that masks have no effect.

Because leaders go to funerals and don’t quarantine when they return and they stomp on churches while letting rioting go unchecked. The public isn’t as dumb as the elites...

If masks are so great, why are jails being emptied? Why not dole out masks to the inmates instead?

Liars the virus is airborne, thats what the experts say

The people complaining about wearing masks would have surely been the same group of geniuses who felt requiring that seatbelts be worn “violated” their “rights” then too. Yes kids, there was a time seatbelts were not installed in cars!

There are Always a few ignorant populist

Because orange man say hoax

Because they listen to IngrahamAngle and TuckerCarlson instead of people like Anthony Fauci thanks to the Murdoch family.

Stupidity and selfishness

Because some people listen to jackasses!! like your own KimStrassel for example.

Minority?

A large, sizable minority

It's definitely not a minority

All this fighting about masks.. but it’s up to the businesses to make their own decisions to enforce it or not.

We don’t follow Scientology, We follow the Most High God. Take it up with him

The stupid of America are the enemy

They are stupid. Or brainwashed. Or believe God will protect them. Or Trump's advice is golden. They hate science. Or they burn scented candles. Or use essential oils. Or wear garlic necklaces. Or wear tinfoil hats. Or wear crystal gem stones.

NoMasks MasksOffAmerica NoFaceDiapers

That's because they're stupid and only concerned about themselves. It's also why it will be years for the US economy to fully re-open to pre-crisis levels. Get used to the NewNormal! 😷😷😷

A minority means that most do. Complete compliance is impossible.

The No-Mask are the Deplorables Hillary warned us about.

Scientists may say that. But the actual science does not.

There is a reason for that.

That damn silent minority! 🤫🙄

Reasonable people are skeptical. Political leaders and media have mislead on so many issues over the last few years, Covid data and expert advice is constantly changing and contradicting, and it’s all about a disease that has killed just.05% of the US population.

Seems like the majority of Americans to me🙄

A minority that trump inspired.

Are you confused because of how an increasing number of doctors are speaking up about how bullshit the mask thing is?

Please, no it’s not!!! That’s what these scientists 👩‍🔬 and many others want you to think. I know otherwise... God Bless us all 🥰😇

America is destroyed by its own Lust. Judgement of God will swipe You and You will not stand and rule the world anymore but will bow before those who served You before.

The dumb ones

Because they are MORONS. like little children don't like being told what to do. GROW UP, it could save your life.

it makes no sense wearing face masks as best doctors tell, anyway freedon is not negotiable so, if they don't want to use it, they are free to do so

If those minority of Americans don't spread virus to others, they can do whatever they want, including kiss to virus.

some may call it natural selection. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Stupidity, selfishness.

This is what scientists actually wear when working with the novel coronavirus in a lab. Maybe they're just using 'enhanced' masks? 😆

What many don't get. The virus and the desease are of little interest to most humans. It is a meaningless almost insignificant cold. It ranks right up there with should I buy left or right twix.

“But most Republicans and religious nutjobs refuse to do so.” — fixes it for ya.

So in the beginning they lied.

threadwhyNomask-1 And aren't those the same segment of population who are stubbornly as the 'anti vaxxer'? So by refusing preventive measures, like wearing mask and vaccines, what are they trying to prove? Oh, that they're death defying Trump's disciples? realDonaldTrump NPR

That’s fine. We’ll eventually get to herd immunity.

Selfish idiots who don’t want to help

Because we made it political.

Because not all scientist say that. If you can fart through the mask and smell it, you can pass a virus through it. Maybe that’s simple enough:)

All I can say, is that if you are refusing to wear a mask because you feel that it violates your rights, then please dont follow any other legal safety precautions and I also will not shed a tear at your funeral. What ever happened to better safe than sorry?!

The Wall Street Journal The people need more Commercials on wearing a mask. Instead of buckle up on flashing road signs they need to read COVID-19 KILLS WEAR A MASK It could be your life it saves.

What do we learn from this little lesson? First of all trump gives a damn on how many of US die. Which leaves me to BELIEVE this is a 'ALL' white bulletin 'if things get worst for you please remember BLKS did it not me'...

Because a lot of ppl are selfish and don’t care about the well being of their fellow person. I never realized how much so til this happened.

Scientists say if you put 'Scientists say' in any sentence you can make people believe ANYTHING

“Masks don’t stop viruses.” - Science (Real science).

How dishonest to show anti mask protesters when the BLM protestors aren’t wearing masks either and there are more of them. Guess it’s ok if the sign says “BLM” instead of “no mask Nevada” or you wear the mask under your chin.

The Netherlands just passed on any mask mandate citing Zero Scientific evidence that masks are effective. Show me the double blind research State Run Wall Street Journal.

I don’t wear because I have already had and recovered from the virus.

Wearing a mask is NOT a show of respect for the health of others when you can be arrested for not complying. The public health messaging about masks has been terrible. If it’s based on science, convince people. If it’s not based on science, continue to arrest lawbreakers.

'slow' is a subjective word as is 'minority'. Let's say we have 100 people go into Walmart, and 99% wear masks which is the majority, and 1% don't. Are you saying that 99% who wear masks, their maximum effort is a slowing down the spread? Like to a craw? It still spreads?

Not all scientists agree. Pick the ones with which you do?

Marxist life is bound by rules and regulations! Freedom breaks the chains ⛓ of Oppression & Control !

I don't understand how some people in the same society that we reside in has had education and still deny science, and follow a life filled with delusions. It doesn't end at science, it even extends to the law and the moral sense of duty.

Smart Governors have REQUIRED IT. MI went from top 5 to a deceleration. Easy way to fix, hasnt been done. govwhitmer potus doesnt help w lack of concern on masks himself

Mostly because they're not sick. It makes no sense to mask when you don't have ANY symptoms. Even asymptomatics have some signs and can tell if they're a bit off. Besides, if you're not coughing, sneezing or breathing directly on someone, you're not spreading. WashYourHands

IF 90% OF PEOPLE WEAR MASK,SHOULDN'T THAT PROTECT THEM FROM THE 10% THAT DON'T?HMMMMMMM

Doctors & nurses who wear face masks in hospitals wash their hands thoroughly before touching their mask to put it on, never touch their mask while wearing it, & wash their hands again after removing & disposing of it to prevent contamination. Few people going to Wal-mart do.

Just curious why nearly all of the hotspots in the US are cities that already had mask mandates?

I can't understand the reluctance. Its a simple thing. Its courtesy, like holding the door for someone. And now there are so many different ways for the vain to accessorize them.

Some people are just stupid.

The coronavirusidiotinchief realDonaldTrump TeamTrump and his cultofthecoronavirusidiots are strong, including our own governorcovididiot GovRonDeSantis

Bc some ppl are selfish dbags. I’m sorry, was I supposed to give a more diplomatic answer?

Mainly because the scientists can't seem to make up their minds what is the correct protocol this month. We were told wearing masks were not only unnecessary but wearing them improperly was dangerous. You lose confidence that they could find their ass if given a map

What the purpose of slowing? Eradication only matters, the slow of spread is to protect the hospitals-no problem there. Masks don’t eradicate so it’s a false hope for many. Herd immunity or vaccinations are the end game.

'Effective in slowing the spread' just means this thing will take longer to burn out. The same people will get it regardless.

“a minority of Americans” do not respect others. It’s a lack of self respect as exemplified by trump, the masterofdisaster

And professionals in the field not in the lab say

Herd immunity has to kick in - covid is NOT a death sentence as MANY have recovered. Are Americans willing to wear masks forever?

The same argument existed for safety belts. Eventually a leader needs to stand up and deal with those that lack the ability to discriminate between right and wrong.

Because some people are stupid.

Curiously there are scientists who say they don’t work too. And even more curious are the scientists who tested therapeutic doses of certain meds (starts with H and Z) and say they work. Could we hear about that?

I really don't think it's a minority. But, so what if it is a minority? Since you have your FaceDiaper on, why are you worried about what others are doing? Physical distancing, and WashYourHands are far more effective infection control strategies. MasksDontWork

Some people are not too smart

Scientists aren't doctors.

A mask's principle role is to protect others from you. Not wearing one is the epitome of selfishness.

And DeSantfail don’t mandate mask 😷 beacouse he knows better than science is a Harvard graduate law school,let evey one die kill Florida economy just for fucking ego maniac,DeSantfail you won’t be aloud trough gate of hell

But if and when they develop symptoms, they will be insisting on medical assistance from first line care providers. There’s something wrong here..

But the minority includes some nut job GOP governors and congress men, who have leadership roles!

Data death are inadequate and false

I believe in the value of medicine and science, so do many Chinese. But what is confusing is that many Americans only believe in what they believe, no matter how hard you tell them that is wrong, or deadly.

Minorities should always be protected from discrimination

Wearing masks increases probability of infection because of user cross contamination

Because they’re spoiled rotten fucking children who think that because their grandfathers took down a facist once, they’re free from responsibility for the rest of time.

Ask your Fox News affiliate

Because of your editorial page

Completely mind boggling, and to me anti American

Only in Trump land!

Because they follow a president who did not encourage people to wear them. Another failure in his handling of the TrumpVirus

Because real scientists don’t actually believe that.

Scientists also said facemasks do nothing im glad I cleared this up for you

By many accounts a somewhat sizable 'minority', who defend their right to not wear a mask with vitriol and/or weaponry.

I am also no longer wearing pants or paying taxes and the government can’t make me
