While struggling to stay alive after catching the virus from incompetence. As long as these people refuse to take all precautions against spreading this virus, they can kiss their economy goodbye. These people are just prolonging this pandemic, and doing more permanent damage to our economy. They're also making the recovery much, much longer for themselves. The more they spread , the worse things will be, and longer shutdowns will be forced upon us all. This was all caused from trumps incompetence and policies , and for not stopping it when we had that chance. trumps still doing things to spread the virus with almost 130,000 people dead. It soon will be taken to court when unmasked people face lawsuits , just like when someone with aids refuses precautions and infects others, and loses in court now. Don't forget trump called this a hoax, then said warm weather would make it go away like a miracle.

They don't work as meat-packers, grocery-store clerks, hospital workers, public transport users/drivers.

They rely on their rich friends, hair-dressers, poodle-preeners, valets and maids to be safe.

Surprise! It won't work that way for long.

Can't wait to hear him gasping for air.

I've had many years of use of masks in industrial work including a lot of training. In very rare cases, a few workers tend to panic after donning a mask - I suppose a form of claustrophobia.

I have breathing problems from years of industrial environmental work and from smoking and I have no problem wearing several different types of filter masks at 72 years old.

Don't know the man, but I find it more likely he's lying and an attention whore.......

I will say we have a serious problem world-wide of the general public not being properly instructed on how to put on and use filter masks.

Far-Right Trump Fan Bill Mitchell May Have Just Duped Followers Out Of $14,000
The ultraconservative talk show host asked for donations to move to Washington, but he went to Miami instead.

By Amy Russo, HuffPost US

Far-right Trump supporter Bill Mitchell ― a conspiracy-theory-mongering internet talk show host once described as the “post-truth, post-math” antithesis of polling analyst Nate Silver ― has recently made some enemies.

After asking his followers for $15,000 on a GoFundMe page purportedly to move his YourVoice America program from Palm Beach, Florida, to Washington, D.C., he relocated to Miami instead, and no one seems to know where the money went.

I’m thinking he mixed up his mask with his ball-gag.

I’m guessing like many on the Reich we’ve heard from he also has a wetsuit and anal dildo to complete the set. Matching and with batteries, of course.

The first time I donned a mask prior to heading into the supermarket, I felt a little broken hearted. The reality of the situation we were all in hit home really deeply. In other words, shit got real. I felt a lot of sad emotions, and I suspect that rethugs wish to avoid feeling those emotions. They don't want to acknowledge the fact that their hero, trump, failed them and the entire world.

Follow their conservanazi leader and don’t observe rules to stop the spread of tRump💩 virus or COVID 19, I hope you get what you deserve.

KARMA, bitch. KARMA

They are stupid enough to believe tRump💩, don’t look for sympathy here. Right now in Texas, it’s spreading fast and the conservanazis are trying to figure out how to explain how the hoax virus is killing and infecting thousands of Texans daily.

can do it, so can you.

Granted, the first time I put one on, I got a severe headache, and was quite dizzy. The second time, I figured out why. I was forgetting to breathe. Not that I couldn't breathe, I just didn't breathe without reminding myself. A very strange experience.

So, like I said, you reichwing troll, ifI can do it, so can you.

However, I've found that the hat I bought with the plastic shield works pretty well, and I can at least get a breath at the grocery story. Also, the paper masks are better than the cottons ones for me, and I found a couple of gaiters that work pretty well. Where there's a will, there is a way.

You've made a clear and strong case for people figuring out what kind of mask or other protective gear they can wear.

And in all honesty, someone who cannot wear anything simply needs to stay home.

If you can't wear a mask to go to the grocery store, you should be having your groceries delivered.

If you can't wear a mask working in a store, you shouldn't be working there.
