Because not everyone the same, do you expect everyone to have same experience ?

  I have to confess I suspect our experiences aren't that different. In the same way people can choose to be offended, people seem to have chosen to find this a huge imposition. I actually really dislike wearing a mask and sometimes have a mild panicky feeling of suffocating and have to move to a window. (I get a similar thing snorkeling). But it's no big deal. I'm a grown up and I deal with it because it's a good thing to do for other people. I understand some people might have really strong psychological reactions and that's why we have mask exemptions. But I don't think that applies to the majority of the people that are claiming wearing a mask is a massive problem for them. I really don't.

    >But it's no big deal. It's no big deal for you, fine. I acknowledge that but It is a big deal for me. >I'm a grown up and I deal with it because it's a good thing to do for other people. well not to me, when you wearing mask when interacting with me you are not doing a good thing for me. I'm much prefer for you to not wear mask when you interact with me but still I wouldn't force you. Its also one of the reason for me to not wear mask when interacting with other people, its a good thing to do for other people.

      > well not to me, when you wearing mask when interacting with me you are not doing a good thing for me. Yes I am. I am reducing the chance of infection passing between us. The degree to which I'm reducing the chance is uncertain (which is the original point under discussion). I think we probably won't get any further benefit from this discussion. I've lost patience with a lot of people over this. I find it slightly depressing that this has become the identity issue it has.

        >Yes I am. I am reducing the chance of infection passing between us. No, you think you are doing good for me but reducing the chance of infection passing is not a concern for me at all so its not doing any good for me. >I think we probably won't get any further benefit from this discussion. I've lost patience with a lot of people over this. I find it slightly depressing that this has become the identity issue it has. Not surprising because you dismissing other people concern and treat it as 'not big deal'.

          > but reducing the chance of infection passing is not a concern for me at all You've lost me here. Really? Is this the part where I discover you have a completely different view on the whole topic and this discussion was pointless from the beginning?

            >You've lost me here. Really? Yes, among all other thing I concern about, reducing the chance of infection passing between us is the least of my concern. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against reducing the chance of infection. I support reducing the chance of infection but not with mask. Because mask has more downside than its ability (if any) to reduce the chance of infection. >Is this the part where I discover you have a completely different view on the whole topic and this discussion was pointless from the beginning? I don't know about you but I do not found this discussion to be pointless

        Sounds to me like you're the one who has made it an identity issue.

          Other than an off the cuff insult, what do you mean by that?

      > Its also one of the reason for me to not wear mask when interacting with other people, its a good thing to do for other people. How is increasing the odds of my infecting my immunocompromised mother doing me a favour?

        Of course it's going to be not the same for everyone.
