Yep, visor down just walk in grab my food, walk out, no one has said anything so I guess it qualifies :laughing
If i need to order I put on a mask since I seem to be impossible to understand in my helmet.

Went to costco pharmacy. Dude at the door was asking if I had a mask, stopped mid sentence then asked if I was going to wear my helmet while in store I gave :thumbup he gave:thumbup. So yeah easier then taking off helmet...
How does one know they are not a carrier?

My comment was 'IF' they knew they were not a carrier, which is a constraint relative to the point I was making, which is the fact that masks are only even potentially beneficial in reducing spread FROM an infected person, not in protecting a healthy person if they are in the presence of virus around their face.

Probably better to assume you might be a carrier and wear the damn mask.

Error on the side of caution...kind of like we all should be wearing a helmet because shit happens, not just because the gubment tells us we have to.

Wow, reading comprehension on this board is really lacking. I'm not disagreeing with the wearing of masks for that purposes or even simply for solidarity. I'm commenting on the actual functioning of it and what it really does and doesn't offer you.
Geez, do you guys actually read people's posts before you jump to conclusions and spout out a canned response?

Then why even bring it up? Seriously? If you're onboard with mask wearing, what's the point of being argumentative, besides that being your normal demeanor?

Go read post 33 in this thread where I first mentioned masks, what I said and what I was responding to. Here's the quote, which was in response to Caddy's comment about the WHO statement.
If one knows that they are not a carrier, there would be no real benefit to wearing a mask, as it is not keeping the virus out if it is in the air around your mouth.
Given the purpose of my statement (read Caddy's post), the word IF is critical to my post. What happened from there is people didn't spend the time to actually read the posts and understand the nature of the exchange and simply jumped into tangential argument that had nothing to do with my point.
Again my point was IF one knows they are not infected, a mask is of no benefit to them. Which is what the WHO said and which I was agreeing. Simple if you actually just read the posts and didn't jump to conclusions. And again, read my fucking posts. I wasn't being argumentative at all. I made a simple statement, which you folks misinterpreted and started an argument over.

So it's pointless conjecture. Got it.
