1. "Nearly 800 residents in Staten Island have died from the virus"

2. Yelling at someone while wearing a mask sheds more of the virus than standing there without a mask

3. Could very well be.

I am not sure causing a big scene and screaming at someone is a good idea. I can't even figure out who exactly they are screaming at. Seems there was more than one person there without a mask.

8. I don't think so either.

If you want everyone to wear a mask, only go where it is required. If you go other places, wear your mask and keep your distance but be polite. Why is it now ok for the left to yell and scream like ill mannered trumpers?

10. Because the plague-spreading antimaskers will follow you.

That's their mission. If you shout them down they become pissy and whiny and sometimes violent, but if they receive no pushback it only emboldens them and they become entrenched.
No threat to society was ever stopped with quiet acceptance.


The problem here is that Liberal Neighbor isn't fighting back half as hard as he should.

4. We shouldn't have scenes like that.

Stores should have policies on wearing masks; customers shouldn't be confronting each other. When I go places these days, I'm one of the few wearing a mask. I wouldn't want to be jeered at or made fun of because I'm trying to protect myself and others. People should pressure the stores to require masks for shoppers. This is not right.

5. Our Stop and Shop has a big sign saying that you can't come in without a mask.

9. That's good. I wish they all did.

But I don't think many stores around here where I live would do that, so those of us who care have to make the best of it. We might see things change if we see a spike like I'm expecting to see. I hope I'm wrong but I think loosening up restrictions is going to cause big problems.

6. Isn't it weird how...

...the same idiot trumpers who regularly advocate assaulting the press (in accordance with the angry tweets of their Dear God Emperor Poopy Diaper) can fill up a Twit thread with cries bewailing "mob mentality" over masks?

7. They're unapologetic hypocrites. The smarter ones know they're doing it, it's a tactic with

a process which (all to often thanks to a clueless media) is effective. So they do it again and do it some more. The dumber ones have no clue, but they're unapologetic hypocrites nonetheless...
