Masks are the main way to stop the spread of the virus. Decrease transmission by 80-90%.

Stupid to have to wear them outside or in your car alone. Absolutely insane. I can’t believe these tyrants.

[caww]

Actually the Masks only protect others from you if you have the virus..... Safe distancing is what works best from you getting it.

Lol!

Nonsense! There is no evidence that public wearing masks does anything to stop the spread of the virus. Experts are still arguing about the effectiveness.

‘Decrease transmission by 80-90%.’

only if a person has a coughing fit or sneezes...otherwise, masks decrease transmission of nothing whatsoever by 80-90%...

It's going to be a thing to watch when people at long last understand just how ineffective against the Chinese virus the mask is from the way nearly everyone selects, applies and fits, wears and maintains their little mask (the WHO concludes a mask's effectiveness as regards transmitting or acquiring the Chinese virus is about 5 percent among the general population).

Particularly when some of the mask-wearers and anti-social distancers test positive for the Chinese virus. I can hear their protestations and denials now: "How is this possible?! I obeyed my politician's and 'The Experts' commands and I even followed kaehurowing's advice to wear my mask at all times and to maintain my 12-foot diameter 'safe space' from every other human being and I still have the Chinese virus! How can this be?!"

But their perspective will ultimately change as they will learn that they were, in fact, being "socially responsible" and have been "fighting the Chinese virus" all along in that by wearing their little mask which offered no real protection against transmitting the Chinese virus and by being asymptomatic as millions are they were, albeit unknowingly, contributing to the development of widespread immunity ("herd" immunity) by infecting others.

Keep drinking the Koolaid. If you believe that I have a cool bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. The typical dust mask doesn't even stop dust very well. Particles of Covid 19 virus are one tenth the size of particles found in cigarette smoke. Their only useful function is to disrupt the spray pattern when somebody sneezes. If you are not sneezing in an enclosed space with other people around they are a useless item meant only to make covidiots feel safer when going out.

Unless the mask is an N 95 surgical mask, it stops nothing, all germs, bacterium and viruii pas right through in both directions.
