It's the slippery slope I see in these things that always concerns me. Today it's mandatory masks, tomorrow it's?
seatbelts.
then after that you'll have to wear shoes in restaurants

Are you wearing your goggles...covering your eyes to keep from getting the virus?
The article in the OP talked about wearing goggles? Could you point out where that part is because I can't seem to find it in there. If you want to talk about wearing goggles shouldn't you start a thread where that can be discussed? This thread is about what's in the OP :wave:

Just for the record, what is the protection factor of the mask you're wearing?
I'd say it's about 100% more than the people who aren't wearing them. :)

But the main question...are you wearing goggles?
Huh, it's pretty obvious you are more interested in discussing goggles than what this thread is about, so see my recommendation about starting a thread where you can discuss what you want to discuss instead.
tulc(seems like the easiest solution)

They were busting on him as if not wearing a mask caused the virus...the OP seemed to have great joy in this occurring.

My statement was asking...why don't we have to wear goggles as the virus has that as a way of entry.

so that would be "No, I can't point to anything in the OP about wearing goggles, because there isn't anything in the OP about goggles."? You could have just said that. :wave:

My statement was asking...why don't we have to wear goggles as the virus has that as a way of entry.
And my point was if you're interested in discussing people wearing goggles you should start a thread about that where people can discuss that there. This thread is about what's in the OP. Which, as you've already pointed out, doesn't mention goggles in it. :)
tulc(isn't sure why people don't just start threads about the things they want to discuss?) :scratch:

No, you're trying to say Cain caught the virus because he didn't wear a mask...
how do you know he didn't catch it through an unprotected eye?

This only demonstrates your ignorance on the issue. The masks are primarily beneficial to those around the person wearing it, not the wearer themself. Although there is some limited benefit for the wearer.
Cain is being called out because he seemingly celebrated* the absence of a mask requirement at this event. Mr Cain was being inconsiderate of others himself and celebrating the selfishness of the like-minded.
If the infected person(s) had been wearing a mask(s), then perhaps Mr Cain wouldn't have contracted the disease.. through his eye, mouth, nose or whatever means.


* “Masks will not be mandatory for the event, which will be attended by President Trump
PEOPLE ARE FED UP!”
- Herman Cain (prior to the event)

No, but since he was infected he could have given it to someone else because he didn't wear a mask. We don't wear mask's to protect ourselves we wear them to protect the people around us. Which he failed to do. :wave:

how do you know he didn't catch it through an unprotected eye?
Wow, you should start a thread where you can discuss that. :)

The Huff Post forgot to tell us where and when Cain condemned masks. Since that is the headline one would think that it would appear in at least one place in the body of the article. Perhaps the author doesn't understand English too well and thinks that "to condemn" means to tell people something is not mandatory?
uhmmm...wan't that the point of the tweet they posted in the OP from him:
On Wednesday ― just hours before he required medical intervention because of his worsening condition ― Cain sent a tweet hailing a Trump event in South Dakota where masks wouldn’t be mandatory.

“Masks will not be mandatory for the event, which will be attended by President Trump,” he said. “PEOPLE ARE FED UP!” (emph. added)

The point seems fairly obvious i.e. masks would not be mandatory and Cain is happy about that.

The only one confused is the author of the article's headline that thought, apparently without evidence, that Cain condemned masks. If he did condemned masks then I think the article would have contained some quote of his where he condemns masks. The article does not contain any such quote. In the quote provided Cain does not condemn masks. Cain obviously feels that being forced to wear a mask is wrong but he does not condemn the masks or even the wearing of them. The most one can get from his quote is that he doesn't want them to be mandatory and is angry that they have been made so elsewhere.

Agree.

Then, as a result the 'rule of the harvest, that one reaps what they sow' came into play.

Very possible.
The article itself seems to be fairly well written so I am wondering if the headline was written by someone other than the author. Someone that is looking to spin and sensationalize rather than accurate news reporting. IMO Cain would look foolish enough by reporting this accurately. No need to invent things that did not occur.

It's news when one man not wearing a mask gets it.

It's not news when two million people wearing the blasted thing do get it.
Mask are used to scare people....lure them into a false sense of security.
