Current Events > Made to wear a mask for Christmas with family.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Kind of annoyed by it actually.

I'm honestly a big mask supporter and wear them religiously. That said, caught COVID about a month ago (most likely from work as that is really only where I go).

Though I still wear a mask in public, was kind of hoping I could be more liberal with it at a family gathering (i.e. sister and parents).

Oh well.

Dawg, cmon.

I know, I know. I mean I'm going to do it out if respect, but the science is not showing that I'm still a carrier.

Why do you wear a mask when its scientifically proven to have little to no effect on the wearer??

Scorching take.

We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection.

He's more protecting others in case he caught it.

Oh that's the piece you go with? White hot. Can't touch too hot of a take.

Ill take a scientifically proven word over what the government is saying to the 99%+ of sheep.

You do realize youre still touching everything with gloves on? Im stunned at the glove wearers using their phones in the grocery honestly, then driving with gloves on, and so forth.

So, it's a fact that you caught it. You caught it at a place you regularly return to (work). There's a non-trivial chance you could catch it again.

You understand that you wear a mask to reduce the likelihood that you'll transmit it, right? We all really should be wearing masks around anyone who isn't in our immediate household.

As I said, I'm a staunch mask wearer and supporter. That said, the likelihood of having an active COVID infection within 1.5 months and having anti-bodies, at this point, is what, .00001%? (Obviously an exaggeration, but probably not far off based on what we have seen of reinfection).

Being an infectious carrier is extremely unlikely.

I don't argue against safety, especially with something that is still being studied, but I'm not seeing studies that show I would be a likely carrier. Especially after testing positive weeks after having it.

And at the end of the day, still going to wear it.
