My mother is 81 and suffers from depression and anxiety and mask wearing has attributed to her needing to up her medication. She also has Rosacea which is a skin condition and mask wearing makes her face breakout.
My children are being forced to wear them because the vaccine is not available to them and they also hate wearing them. it is uncomfortable to wear something for 6 to 7 hours a day like a muzzle. My children would come home with a completely soaked mask from sweat and their own saliva which to me was pointless having one on. It is also hard to understand the teachers with one on and fellow students, which in turn causes anxiety and depression on the younger generations.
My DH and I do not like them either for all of the above reasons and do not believe in the"science" behind them.
Well they must have been doing something because every school year strep, stomach virus, flu, coxsackie are all rampant. Last school year, none of that.
I send my kids with extra masks to change after lunch so they aren't wearing the same nasty one all day.
Exactly.
Furthermore, if masks didn't work to mitigate the spread of germs to some degree then doctors and nurses wouldn't be wearing them at all. I know that the times I've had surgery I appreciate the medical team being masked up instead of spewing their germs and spit all over me on the table while they work.
It's ridiculous to say, "masks don't work" because of course they do. Are they 100%? Absolutely not but it's ridiculous for anyone to argue that they offer no protection at all. There is a reason why they are standard protocol in the medical field, because they absolutely help to contain the spread of germs to some degree.
Then why do people who are wearing a mask care if Joe Schmoo next to them is not wearing one? Shouldn't their mask protect them regardless? You wouldn't be able to breath in anything through those homemade cotton masks right.
Good question, lets see if you get an answer 
As it's been stated COUNTLESS times........... masks are not 100% but when BOTH people in close proximity to each other are wearing masks you're lessening the amount of germs being passed between the two. The viral load is not as great when two people are masked up over when just one or none are.

Mask wearing-why is it such a big deal?
What’s troubling is that children had a chance to return to school without masks this school season but won’t be able to. It could have happened. But.... yeah.

But how would you even know if someone had a mask on as hasn't it been stated here numerous times only MYSELF notices when people are masked?
You are masked and vaccinated. You should be fine. GIVE PEOPLE A CHOICE for themselves and their children.

Mask wearing-why is it such a big deal?
Personally I do not have too much of an issue wearing a mask myself. I am an adult and can suck it up. I don't like it but whatever but I am also not sitting wearing one the entire day. I have a large issue with children masking though. In school they are sitting for 6 hours totally masked, more if they take the bus. Many classrooms do not offer mask breaks and the only time they take them off is to eat lunch. It is not healthy for mentally to wear them all day. They see no facial expressions, it impedes their speech, it is difficult and unfair as they are not at at risk group. I am all for choice. If you want your children to wear masks, then do it. If you do not want them to wear masks that that should be your option.

I know, it's so unfortunate. Our district announced no masks except for the bus but then a week later Murphy mandated masks in school again for the whole state of NJ. It's frustrating but my kids will deal, it is what it is.

Did anyone actually do a study to see if that is fact? And i'm not saying the random blowing air through mask tests, i'm talking about actual studies with covid patients to see if thats true or not.

And why are they not requiring masks for school? Because they are pandering to the complete IDIOTS in their state.
Take Florida for example.

Clearly you don't believe in masks, nothing anyone says will convince you otherwise. Again, there is a reason they are worn in the medical field but if you want to continue to believe there is no value in them that is your prerogative. However, science says otherwise.

So now because you think she doesn't believe in masks it is ok if your article is NOT an actual study?
Do you think EVERY doctor and nurse has NEVER gotten sick with anything because they wear masks to work?

I am asking for actual facts not someones opinion of incidences that occurred. I want to see an actual study with covid patients or one person with covid and one without in closed quarters so i can base what i think is right for myself and my family on that.
Its all about research. I don't base my life on opinions of random people on the internet, I want hard core facts and research done. That is what people who are hesitant about masks or the vaccine needs...not opinions on what they THINK

Re: Mask wearing-why is it such a big deal?
it is not a big deal. I don't like it. Especially when it's hot. But I will do it if I have to.
I think it's become a big deal because of the paranoid conspiracy theorists yelling its governmental control. On the flip side, I also think it's annoying when I'm outside or even inside with vaccinated people and there is one person who is still in this panic of getting Covid and insists everyone wear masks. I was at a birthday party last week in an outdoor tent and they wanted you to wear a mask if you left your table or went inside to use the bathroom.

My DH and I do not like them either for all of the above reasons and do not believe in the"science" behind them.
Well they must have been doing something because every school year strep, stomach virus, flu, coxsackie are all rampant. Last school year, none of that.
I send my kids with extra masks to change after lunch so they aren't wearing the same nasty one all day.
Exactly.
Furthermore, if masks didn't work to mitigate the spread of germs to some degree then doctors and nurses wouldn't be wearing them at all. I know that the times I've had surgery I appreciate the medical team being masked up instead of spewing their germs and spit all over me on the table while they work.
It's ridiculous to say, "masks don't work" because of course they do. Are they 100%? Absolutely not but it's ridiculous for anyone to argue that they offer no protection at all. There is a reason why they are standard protocol in the medical field, because they absolutely help to contain the spread of germs to some degree.
Then why do people who are wearing a mask care if Joe Schmoo next to them is not wearing one? Shouldn't their mask protect them regardless? You wouldn't be able to breath in anything through those homemade cotton masks right.
Good question, lets see if you get an answer
As it's been stated COUNTLESS times........... masks are not 100% but when BOTH people in close proximity to each other are wearing masks you're lessening the amount of germs being passed between the two. The viral load is not as great when two people are masked up over when just one or none are.
Did anyone actually do a study to see if that is fact? And i'm not saying the random blowing air through mask tests, i'm talking about actual studies with covid patients to see if thats true or not.
MASKS AND VIRAL LOAD/GERM TRANSMISSION
Still not an actual study.
Clearly you don't believe in masks, nothing anyone says will convince you otherwise. Again, there is a reason they are worn in the medical field but if you want to continue to believe there is no value in them that is your prerogative. However, science says otherwise.
I am asking for actual facts not someones opinion of incidences that occurred. I want to see an actual study with covid patients or one person with covid and one without in closed quarters so i can base what i think is right for myself and my family on that.
Its all about research. I don't base my life on opinions of random people on the internet, I want hard core facts and research done. That is what people who are hesitant about masks or the vaccine needs...not opinions on what they THINK
Hence this is the main problem as there doesn't seem to be studies. Just like this Delta variant and vaccinated people. NO ONE will ever answer if vaccinated are giving to vaccinated people and use the scapegoat of it is ALL the unvaccinated people's fault.
This country has become a divide again and the media and government love this. It is sad that people will be losing friends and family like they did with politics.

it is not a big deal. I don't like it. Especially when it's hot. But I will do it if I have to.
I think it's become a big deal because of the paranoid conspiracy theorists yelling its governmental control. On the flip side, I also think it's annoying when I'm outside or even inside with vaccinated people and there is one person who is still in this panic of getting Covid and insists everyone wear masks. I was at a birthday party last week in an outdoor tent and they wanted you to wear a mask if you left your table or went inside to use the bathroom.
This person should NOT be leaving their homes then. I have one person who is afraid of this variant who did not want to join our group. That was perfectly fine. To each their own.
I am so glad though 99% of my family and friends and coworkers, vaccinated or not, all see eye to eye and can get along about this.

Mask wearing-why is it such a big deal?
I love how people think a piece of breathable cloth is going to make a big difference.
ETA people states away from the wildfires could still smell the fire thru their masks. But these flimsy things are going to end the deadliest pandemic

My mother is 81 and suffers from depression and anxiety and mask wearing has attributed to her needing to up her medication. She also has Rosacea which is a skin condition and mask wearing makes her face breakout.
My children are being forced to wear them because the vaccine is not available to them and they also hate wearing them. it is uncomfortable to wear something for 6 to 7 hours a day like a muzzle. My children would come home with a completely soaked mask from sweat and their own saliva which to me was pointless having one on. It is also hard to understand the teachers with one on and fellow students, which in turn causes anxiety and depression on the younger generations.

Did you read the article? They aren't "random people". There were links to studies on masks and the transmission of germs as well as articles published in medical journals by epidemiologists.
But if you need to keep believing masks have no benefit, more power to you.

So now because you think she doesn't believe in masks it is ok if your article is NOT an actual study?
Do you think EVERY doctor and nurse has NEVER gotten sick with anything because they wear masks to work?
But they clearly work because otherwise every person working with infected COVID patients would have gotten sick. And they didn't. I know several nurses who wore surgical or homemade masks at the height of the pandemic, here in NY who did not get sick. The masks do something. Whether or not you want to believe that. We could go round and round all.day.long though. You don't believe in science. Clearly.

Where did I ever say they do NOT fully work? I didn't, thanks.
My point being if they worked 100% of the time, NO ONE would ever get sick.
How did people who wore masks everywhere and did not associate with others last year get sick then?

I don't have time to look right now, but I will see later if I can find the clip from CNN. They were interviewing someone who is in the White House task force on Covid- not sure if he was a doctor, or what, but he was saying how the masks you buy at the drugstore really do not work well at all and N95's are really the only thing that do anything.
I have to find it.

But how would you even know if someone had a mask on as hasn't it been stated here numerous times only MYSELF notices when people are masked?
You are masked and vaccinated. You should be fine. GIVE PEOPLE A CHOICE for themselves and their children.
What is it about a GLOBAL health crisis that you are incapable of understanding? This is not about individual choice. The more people that do the right thing, the sooner we will be done. People like you who refuse (I know, where did you say you refuse... ) are contributing to what is happening now
