Texas Mask Mandate

That's simply your opinion . . . which has no effect on the Executive Order set forth in Virginia.
The exceptions to wearing a mask in the Executive Order fail to specifically define the "health conditions that prohibit wearing a face covering."
Thus, the Executive Order is very broad and vague concerning such "health conditions."
I think the Governor of Virginia intentionally wrote this broad/vague language into the Executive Order so that each person having the "health condition" could decide for himself/herself.
Otherwise, what would the Governor do? Provide a list of all "health conditions" that fall under the mask-wearing exception? Ha ha, that's funny.
I think it's unreasonable for ME to wear a mask based upon the fact that I'm never within 6 feet of any other human being for more than a few seconds . . . except for my wife and daughter.
The only times I'm away from the house are: going to the grocery store (rare), going to Home Depot (lately, very often) and going to my daughter's lacrosse practices (twice/week).
At each of those instances, I am never within 6 feet of any other human being for more than a few seconds.
Thus, there's no reason for ME to wear a mask.
That being said . . . I certainly realize that everybody is different and has different circumstances in their lives.
Thus, I leave the choice of whether to wear a mask to each individual.
I certainly don't mind if other people wear masks.
Via shaming and throwing hissy fits, it is only the mask-wearers that are trying to control the non-wearers actions.
The non-wearers are not trying to force the mask-wearers to NOT wear mask . . . because we don't give a 17 whether a person wears a mask.
If you seriously think that in my above post I'm equating a mask with a full hazmat suite, then there's nothing I can do for you.

Yep.
If I were ever under those circumstances, then maybe I would wear a mask too. Who knows?
It's completely your choice as to whether to wear a mask based upon your circumstances . . . and I fully support that.

Good grief, if wearing a mask can protect others from you should you be a symptomatic you should as a decent human being wear a mask. It is good to occasionally think about someone other than yourself.

This is a great example of the "bitching and moaning" and attempted shaming that is all too-common among mask-wearers.
Are you saying that performing surgery is the equivalent of running to the grocery store to buy a loaf of bread?
Not wearing a mask, that may or may not help, in response to a disease that over 99% of people who contract survive is not exactly social Darwinism. Also, I bet you would argue that protesting in the freeway is necessary. #joke
Based on the way we understand COVID is transmitted, how few virus particles are required for infection, and how long the virus is viable inside, Yes.
You should know by now that COVID infects the lungs.
And that it needs about 1,000 virus particles to infect someone.
What you do not know is how high risk it is to be inside with someone that is infected. NIOSH had studies this for a while now, and there are industries created around removing droplets from fluids. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/ae...4w9VM2HShaEpeYRRzgDf_Xj2hL_trCnAThJBorHVEsZ30
TL;DR.
One sneeze from an asymptomatic infected person can longer inside a building (I.e., Home Depot, or Kroger) for days...
Masks are not contraindicated with asthma. If anything they are even more recomended.
How much did you bet? Because you lost it. There is no may or may not about masks. You people are letting emotions get in the way of science. Also, I take it you aren't familiar with the Darwin Awards. Not everyone that does something stupid manages to kill themselves or otherwise remove themselves from the gene pool. But if you do something stupid and do, you qualify. Not wearing a mask inside in public is doing something stupid.

LOL, It was actually an attempt to appeal to the same thing you are, emotion. You have obviously rejected the science.
What if you've already had the virus and recovered? If you have the antibodies...isn't it general consensus you can no longer contract it again, therefore you won't be able to spread it? I would think there's no reason for that person to wear a mask.
Not referring to myself, though part of me wishes I was since I'm still alive to type this. The other part of me wishes I don't have to go through contracting it.

The rules of your made up game are ridiculous. Using your logic, anyone that chooses to drive a car or not get the yearly flu shot qualifies for the “Darwin Awards”. There is an inherent amount of risk to any activity in life. We choose to deal with that risk. Have you ever smoked a cigarette? Maybe you are a qualifier too.
The vast majority of medical opinion says there are no real contraidications to wearing a mask.
I don't know what today's thinking is, but there was some word a couple weeks ago that said you could get the disease more than once.
Yes, I agree.
I feel a lot safer if the person signing me in to vote wears a mask, since it's fairly close contact. And he/she should sanitize their hands every time they handle someone's ID. Here, they take your driver's license and run it through a scanner to establish your eligibility to vote, and to vote in that precinct.

Then, in my opinion, you are unreasonable.
Also, in light of your answer, I can now better understand why you write the statements contained in your posts.
An aside: are you and L4 the same person?
And in the opinion of those that understand germ theory and actively work in Stokes Law, You are an idiot.
It's one thing to not know better. You have been told.
You clearly just don't care about other people. Including your own family.
Never smoked in my life. I watched a grandfather who lived with us cough his lungs up with emphysema. Driving car only qualifies you for a Darwin if you are doing something stupid in it. Normal driving no, driving 110mph on I55, yes. Not getting a flu shot and right now not wearing a mask is just dumb stupid. If your not wearing a mask only affected you I wouldn't care. Kill yourself. But that isn't how it works. it affects everyone around you.
