Would it make you uncomfortable or worried if you saw a regular joe wearing a gas mask?

  1. I wouldnt have cared before Cvirus, and I wouldn't care now.

  3. I would be uncomfortable around such a person, thats unecessary overkill.

    Just curious. 3 months ago, I would've found it fairly odd/conspicuous to see a regular, plain-clothed citicen casually walking around at the supermarket or gasstation wearing a military grade gas mask. I wouldn't at all today. Although I have yet to see anyone doing so, despite their unparalelled utility in isolating ones personal 'airspace.'

    Would it bother you to see someone wearing one?

    I was actually go through my tool chest and that bottom drawer where you throw everything else and found a pack of N-95 face mask. Haven't worn one yet.

    I wouldn't be uncomfortable.

    i don't know that i'd necessarily be uncomfortable, but i would chuckle to myself at the utter stupidity of the common man. deadly diseases have always been here, but no one seemed to care until now.

    Considering how many people have bad breath these days, it would probably be an excellent idea if a lot of them did wear full-face gas masks, no matter whether there's a 'pandemic' going on or not....

    So, no, I don't care if people wear masks. Quite often it would be an improvement over what their faces do look like without masks -- especially the ones with pieces of ornamental metal stuck in them -- or, tattoos!.

    Yes, it would bother me to see people wearing them, but I don't have the right to not be bothered.
