On the flip side, the thought of non-mask wearers spreading disease is disruptive to other people's davening. It not being your experience is irrelevant.

Again, this was in response to those who are saying to those who find masks uncomfortable, "You are childish". To those whose davening is impacted negatively by masks, it is not childish to admit they are a burden.

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.

So in short, you agree that there is a higher rate of complaints from non-masking communities, but there are definitely some complaints in masking communities.

Fair, and logical.

Please.

We've already gotten the other side of "Hashem sent this virus we have no control over. We need to daven in packed shuls more than ever."

Everyone is willing to superimpose whatever hashkafah they want on it.

Not sure why you took issue with my comment. @yuneeq presented the issue as these are God’s instructions. Since there are varying hashkafa viewpoints on these issues, saying “Hashem wants us to do it this way” as if any of us really know it firsthand belongs in a different thread.

It's not childish to think masks are a burden and uncomfortable. It's childish to refuse to wear it because of that burden and make a whole drama out of it.

This comment is in the wrong thread. It belongs in the God Tells Me His Thoughts thread.

Which part do you need to be a prophet for? That it's a nisayon to pray with a mask on?
Or that every medical professional tells us that wearing a mask reduces the spread of this virus?

If he can say that R' Chaim Kanievsky has blood on his hands, nothing he says has any value to me.

He’s apparently biased/bitter.

Literally the stupidest policy in history. You want to contain spread so therefore you close business and force people who need stuff to go to other communities.

Also it goes into effect on Wednesday supposedly (I have serious doubts Cuomo will approve any of this) but if it’s so dire why wait?

Talk about ineffective. The entire Far Rockaway already shops and dimes in Nassau County. Other zip codes that are shut down will similarly migrate to nearby shopping.

Big change will be schools and maybe shuls.

It's generally ineffective, for the reasons stated above, and even shuls and schools will find way to operate outside of the regulations, they did last time. The people most affected by this will be the non-Jewish stores and residents of those areas, and it will only serve to exacerbate the divide and distrust between the communities. All the more reason to toe the line, if you care about these things.
