--- Quote from: dunkemhigh on July 19, 2020, 04:43:37 am --- --- Quote ---However if I see that as many people are absolute non mask as there are BLM people I'd start to consider it could even be as high as .1% of the country --- End quote --- Seems to be 59% (although that's deffos - only 14% say never and the rest are... who knows): A Detailed Map of Who Is Wearing Masks in the U.S. --- Quote ---The map shows broad regional patterns: Mask use is high in the Northeast and the West, and lower in the Plains and parts of the South. But it also shows many fine-grained local differences. Masks are widely worn in the District of Columbia, but there are sections of the suburbs in both Maryland and Virginia where norms seem to be different. In St. Louis and its western suburbs, mask use seems to be high. But across the Missouri River, it falls. --- End quote --- --- Quote ---But research from a team that includes Shana Gadarian, an associate professor of political science at Syracuse University, has found that your political party is a better predictor of mask use than any other factor they measured. Her team compared people of the same age and living in the same ZIP code, and found partisan differences in mask behavior. --- End quote --- --- End quote --- So you're quoting this on some lousy polls? You realize those aren't going to be accurate, don't you? The question also had nothing to do with whether they would, only if they did(you don't have to in some areas and if you don't have to I wouldn't be surprised you didn't). That doesn't mean you're ANTI mask. Only certain people even take part in these polls(I'm one of them). I think one telling issue is a lack of links to the actual data. YouGov usually releases results I can't say that's true of dynata though. YouGov said it was 1507 people that responded in a country of 330M and these results are pretty typical of polling(Don't forget Hillary Clinton also polled very well). One bit of data said they counted people at a grocery store in Wisconsin(oddly enough what I'd consider the most reliable data, even if terribly localized)... If you're going to trust these numbers I couldn't possibly reason with you. Some areas you'll find people aren't worried at all because it's not even affecting their area. You can argue those types of people should wear a mask when going out but I definitely wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. The best I think you could do is looking at individual areas since they'll be more regular with their standards. Polling without any regularities in local rules, laws, and actual covid impact is silly when your sample size is ridiculously low. For masks... Even some of my family members(JPL engineers included) think their paper masks are going to protect them. It's difficult to convince them otherwise. --- Quote from: bd139 on July 19, 2020, 08:41:45 pm ---Just upgrade your mask and it’s sorted https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GS7KC77/ --- End quote --- My Dad had worn a proper full face gas mask with cartridge filters(uses it for work) and the security at the post office stopped to question him. Before they told him he wasn't allowed there without a mask. At the time he needed to post something but only had the one mask. Trying times... |

I’d probably ask them to leave. Wouldn’t be the first time. |
