“The CDC does not mandate anything,” says Dr. Anthony Fauci. But if a Covid surge leads to a recommendation that people wear masks, “I hope they would abide by the recommendation and take into account the risks to themselves and to their families. We are not talking about forcing anybody to do anything.”

    This thread is evidence that the best thing that the mask mandate did aside from cut down on covid cases and thus save lives, is it outed everyone who is too selfish and stupid to function in society when asked to do something to protect their neighbors.

    I removed a couple of selfish, stupid people from my life thanks to the mask mandate, and I’m happier for it. I’m sure they are, too. Win, win.

    I’m on day 4 of COVID and it fucking sucks. I haven’t worn a mask in a while and I’m full of regret :(

      Don’t knock yourself too hard.

      I’m fully for masks, but they are better at protecting others from your infection that you from catching one.

      As long as you wear a mask unil you’re well if you do mix with others.

      Hope you feel better soon.
