”I don’t see the slightest amount of “logic” in this.

Of course you don’t dear. Now stay at home.

Do the experts tell us to wear masks to protect ourselves from others, or do they say to wear masks to protect others from ourselves?

Meant to use quotes around “experts” in my previous post.

The fear of the virus seems to be on a fast decline.”

While that is true in some places and with some people, it is also true that in some places and with some people fear is increasing rapidly

this is the damndest thing any of us have ever seen

Sigh.

I’m not saying that masks are effective against the virus.
I’m saying people have been told to wear masks by the CDC / Government.

Are you people denying that? I’ll wait for your answer.

Guess not.

WELL THEN! You’re going to have people out there who are NOT sick wearing masks. Why? See above. That doesn’t mean the masks are effective - and I completely agree with most of you that putting a bandana in front of your mouth isn’t going to do squat against a virus.

BUT people have been told to wear masks. In my area, it’s mandatory, in fact.

THEREFORE you have people wearing masks who are not sick.
THEREFORE you have people in a bar who, if they’re following the Government’s suggestion, would be wearing a mask who are not sick.
THEREFORE the bartended telling them “if you’re sick don’t come here” is irrelevant and illogical.

The bar owner is a private businessman and is perfectly within his rights to refuse service to anyone. He is probably sick of all the freedom hating, hypochondriac wussies being in his establishment wearing useless masks. and looking stupid.

Hygiene is the problem. It would probably be more far more effective to put a sink at the door with the demand that customers wash their face and hands before they come into bar.

I agree, and the hand-washing is a great idea.

How will we know when the masks were washed and how were they washed. If you take the mask off to drink or eat will it need to be in a germ lockbox?

Well, I’m “lucky” - my daughter sent a spare N-95 mask - and, believe me, I think I’m probably doing more harm to myself wearing that horrible thing than I would be doing by NOT wearing it.

But, as I said, in my area (the Northeast) we don’t have an option.

There is a bar/restaurant in Ingomar, Montana named the Jersey Lillie that has a sink and soap at the front entrance. It is pretty forward thinking. it could be done that way because it doesn’t have bathrooms and the outhouses are outside and around the back.

"Viruses are expelled from the body attached to droplets of spittle and mucous."

Almost there. Viruses are also expelled via tears (as well as potentially via waste).

WHAT ABOUT THE EYES?!?!

Your two eyes are an entry point for not only viruses, but also bacteria, fungi and protozoa including, but definitely not limited to: measles, mumps, rubella, common cold, influenza, coronaviruses (including Wuhan-19), hepatitis and even HIV.

Generally:

Antiseptic Prophylaxis and Therapy in Ocular Infections: Principles, Clinical Practice and Infection Control
Axel Kramer, Wolfgang Behrens-Baumann
Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers, Jan 1, 2002

Viral Infection of the Lungs through the Eye (Journal of Virology - Jan 2007)
"We establish the eye as a major gateway of lung infection and offer potential strategies for treatment of ocular inflammation and prevention of the disease."

Wuhan-19 specific:

How does Coronavirus enter through your eyes?
"Coronavirus can enter your eyes either through a form of aerosol transmission. This can happen when particles are propelled by somebody with the virus coughing or sneezing. Alternatively, if you have the virus on your hands from touching a contaminated surface and then touch your eyes, you can infect yourself."

More...[1] [2] [3] [4]

If you want to EFFECTIVELY protect yourself against getting Wuhan-19, you MUST include protective eyewere/headware:

....otherwise, your doing a half assed job (assuming your wearing a respirator like an N-95/N-100 or better).

I don’t have to, my mask-wearing country never went into lockdown because we beat the virus easily.
