Incites the karens if the they spot you out of compliance.
Where’ the science?
Since you asked “what exactly are the masks supposed to do”..
Masks reduce spread of the virus by reducing excretions (spittle, coughs, sneezes, etc) and virus particles that you exhale - which are most often attached to “droplets” that masks can stop, as the droplets are considerably larger than the virus particle itself and larger than the ‘weave’ of most masks. Well made masks with good filters also help protect the wearer from getting exposed, especially to droplets. “Medical Grade” (eg: N95) masks reduce exposure significantly, whereas decent masks can reduce exposure a good (but less than N95 of course) amount.
I realize that’s all but sacrilegious heresy here on FR and many / most will (perhaps vehemently) disagree, but every country that has worn masks (Hong Kong, Czech Republic, China, ...) has reduced the spread of the virus significantly.
Masks are not an “assault on our freedom”, a “left wing plot for control” or a “training burka”. They are a commonsense, simple thing we can do to reduce spread of the virus. And if we reduce spread..we get our economy back quicker. Better economy, better chance Trump gets re-elected. Isn’t that what we all want?
“Cower In Place!”
I heard a doctor describe it as throwing a fistful of sand at a chain link fence. Will it stop some of it? Yeah. But likely not enough to do you any good.
Busy affirming that it’s warmer today than some other day.
They’re supposed to reduce the risk of disease transmission. Not eliminate, but reduce.
President Trump is absolutely right to both encourage mask use in situations where it makes sense (in indoor public places, but not outdoors and not in private) and eschew government mandates. We don’t need big government coming in to force everyone to make good decisions. What’s very helpful is individuals each deciding themselves to do the right thing.
Transcript of internal debate at the CDC:
Fauci: Hey, guess what? We did it! We finally forced them all to wear masks!
Redfield: You’re kidding?
Birx: No f**king way!
Adams: Even POTUS?
Fauci: Yes, even POTUS, he finally caved!
Birx: Cool! So Tony, what do we do now?
Fauci: First I think I’ll show up at a baseball game NOT wearing one, just so I can lord it over everybody how we are the ones who are really superior to them.
Redfield: That would be AWESOME! But once you’ve done that what are we ever going to do to top this?
Fauci: That’s easy....goggles! Face shields!
Adams: ooooooh....I like the way you think Tony!
Fauci: Twelve hours after I’m done giving my interview to
CNN the lawn and garden shelves at Home Depot are
gonna look like the toilet paper section at Target
in April.
Birx: If we can make them wear masks AND shields, why, we
can make them wear ANYTHING!
Fauci: Yes, indeed. Ankle bracelets, cowboy hats,
those silk disco shirts that went out of style in 1979, handcuffs lined with fur...
Adams: Ballgags? Please please PLEASE can we do ballgags?
Fauci: No, Jerome, no one would ever see them under the
masks.
Redfield: I know....let’s make them wear their underwear
on the OUTSIDE! I saw that one in a movie once.
It was hilarious!
Birx: I don’t know. Wearing my bra on the outside? The
Playtex Pretty Petite #304 clashes with most of my
scarves.
Fauci: All in favor.....
How’s Sweden doing?
Polls are crap. Don’t believe them.
A nation of sheeple.
True. But, guess who isn’t the ‘mask police’? All the karens and karls out there that think they are.
“What exactly are the masks suppose to do?”
Make the women feel safer and give the politicians and bureaucrats something to harass you over.
Depending on how you phrase the question, you can get the desired results.
Exactly right.......besides nobody asked me!
i have only one word, constitution.
Hillary did win more votes; but Trump won more States.
gravity still works, i am still free. masks are useless, no thank you.
‘What exactly are the masks suppose to do?’
keep perfectly healthy people from infecting other perfectly healthy people...
