We might actually agree on something........I have my doubts about an affective vaccine.....guess well see.
The mask doesnt stop any SARS type virus.
By wearing a mask youre keeping you breathing, talking, coughing, sneezing mist, vapors from disbursing a few feet from you.
The mask keep your Breathing/Lung particles close to you. The travel is greatly reduced. When someone else also wears a mask and there is distance between you both.......there is a dramatically reduced risk of exchange of particles or exhaled air.
So if someone is infected and they dont know it for a few days, the virus can be spread very easily. If a mask is worn by all, thats extremely reduced.
In surgery, the surgeon wears a mask to protect the patient from His germs. Not to protect the doctor from the patients germs.
I dont burn my cloths, but I dont wear the same pair of shoes in or around the house.
Im careful but not to worried........Im more concerned with infecting others than become infected myself. I think Ill be fine, the older man getting food might not be. The Grandma picking up a prescription could end up in very bad shape.
I am at risk in 4 categories and frankly Id rather die than have to live in a country of men without faces. The reaction to this virus is literally insane. Everyone is eventually going to be exposed to this disease and the lockdowns will not save a single life but it will cost millions of lives through depression and suicide and failure to seek treatment for underlying diseases. The promise was 14 days to slow the spread. We all put up with that. Now its called The New Normal. Well if thats the new normal then I want off this planet.
I recently took a short vacation to a liberal seaside town where just about everyone wore masks outside and would act like you were a leper if you didnt. I didnt.
While there I almost killed two mask wearing pedestrians who stepped out into the street without looking. This was on two separate incidents and both of these idiots were alone, outside away from other people but religiously wearing their masks and apparently thinking it made them invincible. Im sure if I had killed one of them, the local hospital would have listed it as a Covid 19 fatality, and frankly I would have to agree.
Masks are as useless as a a screen door on a submarine. They are nothing more than a virtue signal and a talisman to keep the evil spirits at bay. Its a religious token. Wear one at you own risk. Just remember to burn your clothes when you get home.
No, it is not.
