Sure, I’ll say it. I hate wearing masks and I don’t care about your health or your life. I don’t even know you.

In our little destination ski/biking town (Park City, Utah) we now have 5 friends or acquaintances with Covid. And we all mask in larger stores – grocery, etc. Some of our friends are having a hard time with this, too. Those of us with lung issues may have to wear masks for a long time. We are cancelling our semi-annual EU vacation so we don’t have the hassle of flying and don’t want to be encapsulated with the possibility of Covid lurking. Yes, we’re democrats who read, think, and travel. Good article. And I love the pictures you posted!

It’s inevitable that wearing a mask or not will remain a legitimate litmus test as long as the pandemic is with us. If someone isn’t wearing a mask, it means they don’t mind spreading disease. Don’t count on that person helping you in any way, because they don’t care. Or else something’s wrong with their head. It’s like they’re carrying a sign that says “Either I don’t care about other people, and I feel immortal, or I’m gullible.”

There are a lot of physical (visible) symptoms that our society is in serious distress. Masks aren’t even close to the top of the list.

I’m heading for a holiday in the Lake Champlain region of upstate New York this summer. Before the drop in the facemask mandate I was looking at flying into either Burlington VT or Albany NY each of which would have required a 8-9 hour trip connecting through someplace like New York, Charlotte or Chicago. That sounded like hell to me as I would have been surrounded by unmasked and perhaps unvaccinated travelers for over 12 hours. So instead I booked a direct 5 hour flight to Montreal which even including the drive down to New York will be faster and I’ll know that my fellow travelers will be masked and vaccinated (or at least recently tested) which will be far less stressful. If I have to travel by air anyplace else I’ll either route myself via Canada or drive up to Vancouver and fly out of there.

I have always worn masks when sanding, spray painting, working in dusty conditions. And I expect most anti-maskers do the same. So this anti-masking isn’t about the what the mask is meant to do. Rather, it appears to be about being told to do it.

Mask or not to Mask. I’m fine with whatever any one decides to do for themselves. For me, I will continue masking while in crowded airports that’s for sure (N95) during the boarding process and during disembarking process. Keep on during most of the flight. I have handled the problem of a seat shoulder to shoulder with other unknown people by flying business class – less crowded, less cramped cabin and more distance from other travelers. The why? my choice. I’m too old to worry about what anyone thinks of me wearing a mask. I prefer it to the unknowns who walk around airports sneezing, coughing, and maybe sick with something or other. I’ll be like the many Asians I have seen pre-pandemic in international airports over the years and wear a mask for as long as I like

I don’t understand the problem. The main reason for me to wear a mask is to protect others, especially the elderly and the immunocompromised, especially if any variant is spreading.

To me “Mask or No Mask” is a no brainer. I don’t mind wearing one at all.

Rather red than dead….rather blue than China Flu? As a realist, I say make masks a personal choice!
