Mask Shamed? Your Karen Response

I'll give you something to work with here:

Not wearing a mask in public is somewhere in between inconsiderate and reckless. You're risking the health of anyone you interact with by not covering up your germ hole. Stop being jerks.

Wrong. Masks do very little if anything to stop the virus because it is not transmitted via air outside of very close prolonged contact. Even the WHO recognizes that now. Coughing and sneezing can be done down your shirt which is just as if not more effective at protecting others. Knowing what we know now about how the virus is transmitted, masks are nothing more than symbols of fear and submission. I will not wear them.
 
I tell them [with my @$$] that I don't need to wear a mask because I talk out of my @$$ which is already double layered...then I twist my ahead around and give her a good wink and tell her I have a beautiful brown eye if she wants to see.

Whether or not you are going to wear a mask, shaming someone for doing so is as bad as shaming someone for not wearing one. The only reason people are wearing them is because they are trying to protect, be considerate, and/or simply do the right thing for their fellow human beings. Whether or not that is misguided isn't for me to say because watching a Youtube video didn't make me an expert on my own confirmation bias or an infectious disease expert.

I had a lady wonder out of her house and ask me why I wasn't wearing a mask while I was cutting line in an overgrown backyard. I just smiled and said "I'm good, but you stay safe, ma'am." She smiled, wished me a good day and went back inside. It cost me zero pride or integrity to be polite to someone that is likely worried because, like all of us, they are being hyped to the point delusion by an overbearing media, and they actually have legit at-risk family members so they are just being over zealous worry warts.

I've probably been called an a-hole by more folks than some of you even know and even I'm not going to be rude to somebody for buying the hype (or possibly believing the truth) about this whole pandemic and precautions regarding PPE. If someone is legit rude to me, I'll deal with that then and there, but I am going to at least try to act like the damned civilized Southern gentleman I was raised to be.

I read once where June Carter, after her two divorces before she married Johnny Cash, was approached by some fans who gave her a hard time over the divorces. She simply said, "I'm sorry I disappointed you" and moved on. She was just a classy lady. Nowadays I'm more satisfied with who I am when I show some restraint vs. when I do what comes naturally.
 
i've been coughing/sneezing into my shirt for years.
my reply " when god wants to meet me, she will. I have good faith..... I'm not going to hell, we're already here....
or a simple........ no burqa for me, bitch...."

"oh I am sorry! I must have forgotten to wear it. I was reading this book "How to deal with meddlesome busybodies" and just got so interested I forgot entirely to put mine on when I left the house. Won't happen again."
 
My response??? Simple: Look at them sympathetically and tell how you were wearing a mask until you saw the news this morning about terrorist lacing a certain brand of mask with the corona virus on the inside of the mask and during the round of BS just casually ask what type of mask they have and pretend to look for a label on it. Once you have their attention fake having found said label and get a really concerned look on my face and rattle of a lot number for the affected masks and then calmly run away screaming that they have one of the affected lot. :eek::D
