When you talk with your mask on, can you be heard well? The one excuse for not wearing a mask part of the time seems to me to bethat what you have to say is important and poeple can't understand youwith your mask on. As an aside, I hate when people ask quesitons at public meetings andthey talk so low or they mumble and you can't tell what they said, andthe person they ask doesn't repeat the quesstion. I don't especiallyloud most of the time, but when I ask a question at a public forum, I'mloud enough that everyone can hear me whether I have a microphone ornot. And I think** that my words are just as clear when I have a mask on asat other times. But I don't know, and I don't know what your experiences have been,either as a talker or listener. What say ye? **I could test this with the any number of voice recorders in the PC orphone, but I haven't.

micky wrote Yes, on the one occasion I have worn one, because the ophthalmologistrequited me to wear one on the second occasion that I saw her duringthis pandemic, she had no problem understanding what I was saying. A proper surgical mask that they provided. And surgeons don't have any problem being understood when wearing them. That's bogus given that what surgeons say is often very important. I cant say that I have ever tried to listen to anyone wearing a mask. The ophthalmologist and the two women receptionists didn't wear one. Presumably they were protecting themselves from the possibility that some of the 'patients' might be infected. I did in fact visit 3 hospitals during the pandemic, and none of the staff were wearing a mask. A couple of those in the waiting rooms were. I'd have you publicly flogged if you hadn't so obviously enjoyed that the last time.

Can you hear me now?

Talk about a non sequitur and deflection.

Abnd if that were true it would be all the more reason for the states to take the money. Think, man, think.
