From day ONE cloth only was better than nothing. Had there never been a shortage N95 to accommodate all citizens cloth masks would not be a thing.
Cutting up a shirt and covering your mouth is still 100% better than nothing, but the gov can't come out and say hey N95 are the only thing that have been proven work the best. Even though we all know that sneezing into your elbow can help prevent someone near you getting germs, anti maskers would say see, "if I can't get an N95 than we may as well wear nothing", which is wrong.
As many doctors point out we can live our lives if people would just BUDGET our exposure instead of a certain segment of the population that are anti mask, anti vaccine saying well you were vaccinated and were infected or were masked and got it so why do these things at all.
Just because N95 are the only thing that scientifically stop Covid from being taken in with a breath does NOT mean that covering your mouth with a cloth doesn't assist in slowing the spread in some kind of way, even if it turns out in some instances to be very small, it does something and what else are we to do , nothing? It's all about budgeting.

Do I only wear N95, yep! It is too easy to get now , they come in colors and all certificated. Some friends say they are too tough to breath through, well that's the point, the N95 work.

Budgeting Exposure
Whether you’re managing your household budget, balancing your diet, or deciding how to spend your time, there are always risks and benefits. Getting a pricey dinner out every week might limit funds for a vacation later on. The thought of indulging in a slice of homemade strawberry rhubarb pie...

I haven't seen Disney selling cloth masks in months. Only selling standard medical masks for $1.25 or so. It was annoying because those actually were the most comfortable to me and I wanted to pick up a couple extras. I recently bought a 25 pack of N95's online, so I guess I'll be turning to those.

I had two doses of the Astra Zeneca with mild side effects after the second. I had the Moderna on December 22nd and my arm was so painful for 48 hours I was ready to chop it off and Christmas was spent on the sofa feeling lousy. I live alone, so it wasn't too bad and I did enjoy Christmas dinner when I had it the Tuesday after.
I agree regarding ones who choose to wear a mask and ones who choose to not wear a mask, however if my business was a posted no mask no service, the non mask wearers will not be allowed and welcomed in my business if they attempt to do so.

For now yea. I get that. Eventually that’ll be something decided by the courts. Similar to that wedding cake shop in Indiana I think. But again. If your shop says wear a mask it’s a free decision to go in or not but follow the rules if you go in.
It is frustrating to shop owners , a guy that had walked in without a mask and broadly boasted " I won't put it on unless they tell me to ". Similar to trouble making kids in elementary kids testing the teachers.

The courts won't get involved in something like that. That's not the decision on whether or not to make a cake for an LGBTQ. It is every business's decision whether or not to allow someone through the doors. No shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service.
Marion County FL Sheriff Billy Woods in summer 2020 made it a policy to visitors who enter his police dept building to take off and not wear masks in his location.

A bit comes down to human kindness. Personally outside of the N95s and the like I think they are minimally helpful but I’ll wear one without complaint if a place wants me to. If a place doesn’t then yea a lot of times I forgo it. At this point. At least at my work where about 30% of our staff has had it in the past couple weeks it’s really become a situation where the fear of the virus (again the attitude of people) is more on the interruptions to their daily lives more so than the threat of the illness itself. If this trend continues, I think we see mask wearing compliance drop more which in turn puts your shop in a much harder position. I’m certainly glad I’m not a business owner currently. I think someone who is will be in a really tough position on making decisions once this wave crests and subsides.

Oh I agree. I meant for that rule to ever be settled it would have to be by the courts. No government entity will ever enforce the mandate. It’ll be up to shop owners themselves. For them to get any backing in their ability to refuse service it’ll go to courts.

Anyone still requiring masks during Omicron is a fool. Doctors and scientists have already said anything but N95 essentially does nothing to stop Omicron, so it’s a waste to force it on people now. Omicron is going to push COVID into endemic territory, which should an end to all of these ridiculous mandates we’ve been living under the last 2 years.

What mandate have you been living under?

But a Sheriff's Office is different than a private business. What he did was political. He has a campaign to run in a district where he likely needs to kiss up to his constituents.

Personally ablated, no. But I’m involved with them at work often. Atrial ablation, especially those done by cardiologists and not surgically, are well tolerated and a pretty quick recovery.I am glad to hear that. I had HUGE reaction to first and second to Pfizer and going for my booster of Moderna tomorrow, I was thinking about canceling because I dont want to lose 3 days more work right now like I did the last two times. Reading your post I am a bit more ready to go.
Worse issue with a vaccine for me I was for Shingles, 3 days later I had an SVT heart event, I thought I was going to die. All my Dr's saying this or that so I google my self and find a study that states 6% of men get an SVT event 3 days after the Shingrex vaccine, EXACTLY what happend to me. I showed all my Dr and none of them were aware, now they are. I don't regret getting the Shingrex vaccine, that incident led to my Dr's discovering an abnormality in my heart that causes Afib about 9% of the time. This is why I have been feeling ill the last few years. My wife says you never feel well and I just shrugged it off from working 18 hour days. So now I need decide if I will go on and get an ablation for my heart
My AFIB caused my heart to go to 155 for 147 minutes yesterday while I sat there scared, still I am on the fence about the ablation. It scary when your heart beats like you are running 10 miles while sitting doing noting at all and can not ell the heart to slow. Anyone here have an ablation one for the heart?

And, as someone who has also seen the long term effects of NOT treating AFib, you’re much better off making your decision with your specialist sooner rather than later.
As to the booster, my Pfizer #3 was more pronounced for about 24 hours post shot but not anything more than the first two. Wife had Moderna and didn’t notice anything after. Good luck to you, and way to go being an advocate for your own health!

Mask mandates implemented by cities/towns/states, including for my kids to go to school, when the science says masks don’t work! Yet my kids need to sit in school for 7 hours with masks on their faces for the last 2+ years, all for the appearance of safety. It breaks my heart they are being used in such a way and it really bothers them.

Bummer, sounds like you need to move, it isn't that way everywhere just where the local government/board has determined it is needed for the greater good.

Not true - surgical even helps. I don't love masks but I'd rather masks than schools shut down again. If kids at the schools I volunteer in can wear them without complaining, surely adults can wear them around. Why people fight nearly 2 years later is baffling. I do hope they'll be gone at WDW at least by the summer trip, I don't see the point in spreading false info. If all are wearing at least surgical they are not useless
Hereâs how long different face masks may protect you from omicron variant symptoms
A graphic from The Wall Street Journal shows why cloth masks might not stop the omicron variant.
