Masks are pure psyops.

More like trying to not attract attention while out and about. Trying to avoid getting shrieked at by some Karen.

I’ve started informing others of the danger of wearing masks...figure it at least distracts them and makes them wonder

Yeah, solidarity. Let’s all conform, follow the leader, like lemmings over the cliff. They die, but at least they die in solidarity with each other.

Signalling [sic] to others that you are taking this seriously and trying to respect their safety as well as your own is, therefore, an important statement of solidarity.

Virtue-signalling and socialism. The Left in one tidy sentence.

Of course it won’t stop virus particles, but it will stop aerosols, i.e. spit and exhaled vapors, which are present in asymptomatic people.

I don’t like it but the rationale is logical when people are required to be close together. Which is not in any retail store, if common sense is used. Getting a haircut is a case where masks would be appropriate.

I heard it said that if a fart can get through underwear and blue jeans, a cloth mask isn’t going to stop no virus.

The word solidarity has a sad history of overuse and abuse by communist tyrants and apparatchiks.

That guy is full of shit...I suppose if you purposely make a mask to leak you can do it...but most are making masks to protect at least others, and there has been plenty of research to show they do. Two layer, pleated masks have been tested to show they protect about 60 to 80%...put a blue paper shop towel in between the layers and you have 3 micron protection. Just don’t clean in water, spray a little everclear or rubbing alcohol on it. Or, do as we do...shine some UVC light on it.

What is going to destroy the economic recovery are the yahoos who have been brainwashed by this shit and refuse to wear masks.

It is not solidarity - it is CONTROL.

Masks are the equal opportunity hijab/burqa. Men as well as women can demonstrate their submission. Sad thing is back in my day those under 30 would have not complied. Now the they are the biggest supporters of establishment control.

Closer but still not right.

It’s about habituation to taking demeaning orders.

problem is most people do not have access to N95 and most people are NOT wearing them....

however, even the flimsy thing I use will protect against large droplets from someones cough or sneeze....I would then change masks and wash my hands....

its all about viral load...the less you receive the less sick you could possibly get....

my rant though is this.....do not come into a store with your hacking cough and sneezing at everybody....stay home....stay away from the rest of us....

I particularly hate that wet sounding smokers cough....please....just stay home or find an N95 and at least pretend you care about preventing the spread of your germs...

Yeah. My not wearing one is a important statement of "MYOB".

Wearing a mask causes a person to breathe more CO2 than normal.
