A lot sooner than if they don’t.

Masks make me feel safer.

I second that

We need to see this the other way too. Restaurant owners and employees. We are scared too even though we need to make a living. We’re taking risks too. We don’t have to open if we don’t want to.

A Colorado restaurant opened over the weekend and the video showed it jammed... I think people are fine with enjoying themselves again.

DeborahDian Which would he prefer?

therealkenecik Unless I can get an N95 mask and some PPE, I have no plans to go out to eat, or attend church before July, 15th, maybe 30th. Maybe.

I'd be much more inclined to go to a restaurant full of people with masks, than a restaurant full of people with AK-47s.

Safer right now than if they AREN'T wearing them!

I am ready. Open up my bars that serve lunch. I will go

Have been able to eat out and was wonderful to be out again,

It’s not the masks. People are smart enough to know it’s the damn virus that’s causing them to wear the masks.

That shouldn't be a problem. Are people xenophobic? Look at Japan and other countries who wear masks, they do it out of respect. Americans have some ignorance. We are a young country. We don't know reality because we have always really had it easy.

If you don’t feel safe don’t go 🤷🏾‍♂️

I don't. Not until I have had a vaccination.

Exactly, people are even scared to shake hands with others amid the pandemic . It would take some time to return back to normal Latest updates | cases per million population👇 coronavirus COVID19

I’d consider it more favorably if I saw them wearing masks, as it’s a signal that they take it seriously.

So, we aren't afraid of a solitary death hooked up to machines, or accidentally killing our neighbors via negligence. But we are afraid of people in masks? Print the bottom half of your face out on a sticker. SocialDistanacing

I'd feel safer right now with them wearing masks than not. Of course, I wouldn't go into a restaurant now even if everything was open. I think it's too soon.

People have been getting take out for two months already Bozo.

Can't more tesroran?

😮😟😕🙄
