Westside Steve Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Okay my numbers are closed maybe not exact but... Apparently according to a poll somewhere in the upper 60s percent of Democrats say they wear masks when they go out in public compared to somewhere in the forties for republicans and Independence. Make of that what you will. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think something like this would be pretty clear cut but then it gets politicized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbluhm86 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 I'm one of the caregivers for my parents; both of them whom are in their mid-60s and both are in poor health. So, I've been wearing facemasks and carrying a few sanitizing wipes with me when I go to public places like the grocery store or gas station, because I don't want to take any unnecessary risks and get them sick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember there was never a push by science encouraging everyone to wear masks, because science had also said that wearing masks do no good.

It's my guess that if Trump would have come out and said he thinks we should wear them through Thanksgiving then the numbers would probably be switched. Just a hunch. Still when I go out I don't see a big percentage of people wearing them at all. And the ones that do I would bet my life savings most of them are wearing them improperly. But it's a feel-good thing. Be honest what percentage of time outside your house do you wear one? WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 But seriously - a lot of folks who vote dem live in the big cities - where wearing a mask is far more seriously expected, I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go out maybe one out of 6 are wearing a mask. That's including the grocery store. Seems to be a lot of Republicans wherever I go.lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 This should be about 100% accurate, they wouldn't put it in the meme if it wasn't. 😏 WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be honest what percentage of time outside your house do you wear one? WSS Me? Zero, though I've thought about wearing a scarf in grocery stores. I have a pretty fatalistic viewpoint. Something is going to kill me eventually, and if it happens to be Corona, so be it. Lotsa luck trying to find a mask for sale now anyway. Ditto that gloves and hand sanitizer. What sort of gives me pause is seeing a few paranoids wearing masks when I'm out on the bike paths riding. Probably the same folks who now have a garage full of toilet paper.
