The snowflake keeps saying wear masks, but our Governor is saying face coverings. Big difference. I think they should arrest people who don't don't have proper masking. That would include these idiots who wear a bandanna that does absolutely NOTHING to keep the snowflakes and sick people safe. Yes, instead of fines, just lock 'em up. There is plenty of room after the liberals have turned loose those in danger of getting sick in jail.:icon_razz:
If you locked up all the brain dead people who don’t know how to properly wear the mask, the jail would be full. Our governor would be in there with them too. Sheila Jackson Lee(isn’t she on some oversight committee pertaining to this very illness?) is another good example.
A mask and a face covering is the same thing. The key is that it should cover your mouth and nose, preferably cotton. A dirty bandana face covering worn over the mouth and nose is better than a zoro or Halloween mask. I don’t get your semantics over masks and face coverings. Those words mean the same thing.Quote:

This nazi like edict will eventually bring on more trouble than is prevents when fines begin to being issued and the local authorities use their discretion to decide who gets the fine and who does not.
The masks or face coverings should be a suggestion not a mandate. You are all about more rules right?
Has the CDC changed what they are calling things? I have no idea. The two terms have always been synonymous to me. I never understood what distinction you were drawing.Quote:

Those are just insane, but I'm sure our governor will give them a pass.Quote:

I see people wearing masks and people not wearing masks. I haven’t seen people driving wearing masks, but I could imagine if you have one with straps you have to tie, you might just keep it on while driving rather than re-tying the thing multiple times.Quote:

And/or they have gotten comfortable with it on and don't think anything about it. For me, the ones I have are hard to breathe thru. So, I wear it only when I am heading into a public setting inside...like Walmart. And take it off when back in my vehicle. But, that's just me...
Same.Quote:

Sorry, the “you” above was really addressed to Pawdawg.
Exactly, a bandana worn that way provides better coverage than almost any other mask people are wearing.
LOL! Tell it to the medical professionals who wear surgical type (double tie) masks. Why don't they take this faux mask route if it provides the best coverage? The LOOSE FITTING bandannas allow more germs to escape and possibly infect snowflakes who get w/in six feet.Quote:

Yeah, I am not sure how you legally certify that you are searching for a job for purposes of claiming unemployment while turning down work. Gamble I wouldn’t want to take.Quote:
