I can't breathe in them. The box says they are not intended to stop viral infections. I will not go back to wearing one.

Max DeYoung

I have been in stores several times in the past few days, and have only seen a few people with masks on. However 60% of the people responding claim to be wearing masks. I think people are lying, or there are a lot of closet maskers. LOL

N95 only when I'm working with Walnut or doing fine sanding on other hardwoods. I do use plastic face shields when ripping boards on my table saw, for protection from flying debris. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Christopher Watson

Never again, didn't do anything last time, why would I ware one now? Besides I got both shots, so done with all this!

Lisa Gore

Why would we? They are proven not to work! It’s science. I choose not to enter that medical care system. Our Missouri constitution protects my right not to. Look it up.

Just because Gov Parson said MO is done does not mean that MO is done. My friend just died on Jan 28, 2002 of Covid. It is not over yet.

Still a 0.02% death rate for humans that means 99.98% chance of living unless you get a vexine and then life expectancy is going down for certain cohorts. The vexines are more dangerous than Covid.

Max DeYoung

The American Institute of Stress reports 120,000 people die every year as a direct result of work-related stress. And this is only work related stress. Financial stress is the leading cause of stress. Don't worry and live longer.

Max DeYoung

According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide. My doctor says don't worry about everything and you will live longer and be happier.

New infections still remain relatively low and few people are taking precautions such as wearing masks.

0.02% chance of dying from CV-19. While there are risks, the whole fear porn was dying of Covid. Even regular flu DR is lower than the main stream media says. side effects from the vaccines are worse than Covid side effects. Altering DNA #1 among them. Noone needs Covid/Flu vaxs not effective/unsafe

Debra Riffle

We did all the things we were told to do before, and it didn't stop Covid. Masks didn't help. Keeping kids out of school and closing down churches, etc., didn't help. Covid will be with us. We need to learn to live with it.

Max DeYoung

I bought a pound of ground chuck and a case of beer yesterday, at a large supermarket. Because of the large number of other patrons, it was considered a Covid related incident. However I survived, but the ground chuck went down.

Some say the war in Ukraine and economic ripples that continue from the coronavirus pandemic are contributed to the high price.

High gas prices are a global problem. This issue would be here if Trump, Biden, or anyone else would be in office. Is Biden doing great? Hell no. But his policies have no bearing of gad prices in Canada, Australia, or anywhere else. It still sucks either way

Honestly every advanced economy in the world currently is facing increased prices and inflation and I generally lean toward this being a global issue. Do I think the government could do better though? Absolutely but this is a situation that I do not think the blame can fall singularly on.

Justin just because I think differently than you does not mean I have no common sense the same way I could argue you don't have any for always blaming a singular person for your life's woes. Adults are able disagree on things. Going straight to calling someone dumb or senseless is childish

Zaos I still disagree with the pipeline due to its construction time, type of oil, and that it was more for export than import. On the cancelation though I concede the point cause I just saw the headline myself.

This was created with Bidenomics and many other bad policies. Our current administration reminds me of The Scream by Edvard Munch.

Lefties can whine all they want. But all problems belong to the Dumbocrats.
