I can agree as far as wearing it in stores or even sitting in shul listening to krias Hatorah.
Speaking from a community that wears masks, I cannot agree that people don’t complain about davening with a mask. Many find it difficult to daven in a mask.
It is disruptive to davening. Standing staring at a patient for 6 hours in the OR is not the same as enunciating the words of pesukei dzimra for 30 minutes on Shabbos into a mask. It gots hot very fast, and I have tried many different masks.
But I do wear a mask because that is the rule of my shul and most others in my town.
Up until now I didn’t feel that masks were warranted. In the last week or so probably hundreds of cases have been imported to our midst so now that there is a first wave I feel masks may be warranted and will be wearing unbegrudgingly.
Masks doesn't seem to be preventing people from talking to each other.
Yes, when I take off the mask it seems to geshmak.
But it's still childish, I hate wearing a bicycle helmet, it makes me sweat and I love the breeze in my hair ..
Any Rav or Rosh yeshiva that doesn't understand community spread, brings up bigger issues.
Is there concern if community members say "Rabbi, I find it hard to daven with a mask on"
And so they say, don't wear a mask, rather than people rushing through davening or staying home.
What if I say, Rabbi, I find it hard to walk to shul on Shabbat, you ok with me driving ?
