Reply to comment by LobsterMan101 in What hair salons/barbers still wear masks voluntarily ? Looking for a place in Midcoast to Portland by LobsterMan101

Nobody wants to be sick but it is a new reality these days. The only way to protect yourself from covid is to ask barber to do a haircut on open air and in mask and then go back to home, cut all connection with people, don't go to any stores etc. Don't fool yourself, mask on barber in closed room with unknown viral load won't help.

If we both wear masks it helps cut transmission. I don’t want to catch it. Ogs also interesting everyone’s who’s catching COVID and getting sick are non maskers, and they always get hit hard. Why? Bc they take in A LOT OF particles and respiratory particles . So if I can minimize even the viral load and be less sick, I will!

I don’t want to vomit, throw up, be bed ridden and then have to miss doctors appointments bc I have a lot of health issues.

Understand my side before imposing yours on me, as if it’s the way of life. There is no pre 2019. We are living in a world of viruses and diseases now.

Ar e you gonna tell the Chinese and Japanese to stop wearing masks? It’s cultural. At this point it’s culture for me too. GET USED TO IT. UHHH

COVID binds through eyes. When you are staying in closed room with enough viral load, masks on people are useless (well, they provide some psychological comfort probably). Sorry to say that. You might wanted to use full face respirator or tight goggles with mask in closed room to avoid virus to bind through air. Mask on barber won't make a big difference.

BTW, I have seen vaccinated catching virus, unvaccinated, with masks and without masks, people staying in isolation at home, people that were going out actively... all got virus :-) all got it multiple times... including myself, recent strain caught a few months ago in Quebec City, Canada. Ironically first one in 2020 caught in Toronto, Canada as well.

Well, thats not "my" true info. Official research results: PMC7882915, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine etc

I really sorry for your family members died from COVID. But pushing barbers to do what you ask won't help you to avoid COVID. You can fool yourself, but, sorry, this is reality.

BTW, CDC/WHO has managed pandemic extremely bad.
