@madealiyah Is that what’s happening? No. So stop with the hypothetical narischkeit Masks are annoying but necessary. If they weren’t necessary, I wouldn’t wear one. If the government made a law about masks when they aren’t necessary I would ignore it. Right now I wear a mask in public because it may help prevent the spread of COVID-19 not because there’s a law about it.
Masks aren’t a big deal (even if they can be difficult for some people) and neither are most of the other COVID-19 restrictions. But they do help prevent the spread, so please listen to the guidance of the Agudah and the Moetzes and follow the restrictions.
@mottel I don’t agree with all of the government’s policies, and I find it ridiculous that a massive pandemic is being used as a political football, but at the end of the day there are certain precautions that we have an achrayus to take. Masks are one of them and probably the one that causes the least amount of interference with one’s life.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a large outdoor levaya where Hatzalah wasn’t on call for people fainting. The poor fellow was probably on his feet for too long in the sun.
Let’s get this out of the way: there’s no danger nor loss of oxygen that can come from wearing a mask. Period. The difficulties that come from wearing a mask are about comfort and psychology. And these are things that not only are possible to overcome, but are necessary to overcome so that we can live our lives without resorting to quarantines every other week.
