Showing the same idiot graphic with virus particles when the point of masks is to block the exhaled droplets which are far larger.

Stop the bullshit.

When I breath in a mask everything goes in my eyes.

My mask wearing has been less than minimal and when I did wear it to visit a friend at a nursing home Wednesday, (outdoor social distancing) fifteen minutes into the conversation, my voice became hoarse. I’ve read enough articles giving the masks a red flag. Mercola.com is a good site for info.

A nice moist warmer than air environment is just a great place for the virus to relax with a few of his friends. If it were cold n dry, they would be on impotent. Then theres those poor fellows who get sucked in and have to go tork replicating.
Didn’t the dc legislation exclude government workers and legislators.. or was that our fake news nuts.

Dead bodies? I can say I can walk at least fifty or sixty yards without stepping on anything but dead, rotting flesh.

No doubt. And no matter how well you brush your teeth and use mouth wash your own breathe becomes very stale after just a few minutes.

Because in all of human history, before you and your buddies’ pet disease came along, we didn’t know anything about what masks do or don’t do?

It’s only been more recently than March 2nd of this year that we have gained any knowledge whatsoever of the properties of masks covering the human breathing apparatus?

Mankind has figured out space travel, microbiology, neurosurgery, quantum physics, internal combustion engines, and built the Taj Mahal. But masks were a mystery until after March 2, 2020?

Got it.

And the “stockpiling” argument doesn’t hold water. Now they’re saying anything from your t-shirt to grandma’s tablecloth will save you from the deadliest disease in history. Why wasn’t grandma’s tablecloth okay back in March? Could it be because they didn’t quite have their “Gameplan to Destroy America and Donald Trump” fully figured out yet?

Don’t stop believin’!

Wow. That’s gross. Like I said, don’t forget the scrub brushes.

FAUCI: "And right now people should not be, there’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet; but it is not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And often, there are unintended consequences: people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face."

REPORTER: "And can you get some schmutz sort of staying inside there?"

FAUCI: "Of course, of course, but when you think masks, you should think of healthcare providers needing them and people who are ill.”

and flow around the outside top and bottom of the ill fitting masks. also after 20 minutes the mask is saturated with exhaled moisture and loses even minimal effectiveness. But you know that

Viruses degrade with warmth and moisture, the colder and drier the air is, the less they degrade.

“Face Masks Might Actually Increase Infection Risk for COVID-19”

They certainly DO NOT in Taiwan, where there are virtually no new cases, but mandatory face masks for months - but then again, what does that matter to the Flubros?

Scrub brushes? Haven’t got the time for that. There are woods around the hospital area and an on-ramp to The Garden State Parkway.

We just wait till around midnight and throw the bodies into the woods , the wild dogs get them pretty quick. Then we make a break to the Parkway. Sshhh. Quiet now. Don’t say anything.

Who am I? Why... Smith... that’s me. I’m Mr. Smith.

Which means they can keep us locked down longer and have more control over us.

Yep, even a layman could see this spreads way too readily for it to be only via droplets and fomites. This is measlelike in its infectiousness.

I have to chuckle at her 'masks won't protect the wearer but you should wear one if around someone with Covid' juxposition.

I don’t think this site gets dumber. I truly think there are people on this board who just don’t want to wear a mask and will look for deceptive articles or will make stuff up to justify not wearing a mask in public indoor places or following the other public health measures.

I am glad there are people like you on this site as I support proper public health measures including mask wearing where social distancing cannot be maintained or in public indoor settings. Heck, even Trump supports mask wearing.

It is interesting how the cases surged with the mandates. I mentioned that to a couple of friends a few weeks ago and they thought I was nuts and that there was no way that could happen.

Why doesn’t that new doc on Trump’s team address this and let’s loose the masks for the millions of healthy people that are forced to wear them.
