Flubros and Flubras! Day 145 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

Anonymous guest post from a freepmail from one of our Flubros:

“I’ve been thinking about masks a lot lately. Two things have be churning in my head. They say that you wear a mask to protect other people. Sort of like a “it takes a village” kind of thing. The logic talks about the mask stopping the droplets when you cough or sneeze. Certainly you’ve seen the graphics of a mask magnified compared to the virus, or the chain link fence comparison. Which the maskers counter with the flea hitches a ride on the dog, which is stopped by the fence.

And I understand that. But they also talk about how this can spread if you are asymptomatic. Let’s think about that for a minute. If you have Covid but are asymptomatic, then you are not coughing and sneezing. So the virus is not “riding on a dog” to be blocked by the mask. It just goes right through the mask, like the magnified graphics of masks show.

Therefore, wearing a mask when you have symptoms makes sense. But wearing a mask when you don’t have symptoms is worthless - the same as no mask at all.

The second thing deals with viral load. One of the complaints of masks is the fogging up of glasses. Why is that? Because the moisture (that is carrying the virus, by the way) is concentrated and goes out at lower velocity around the mask.

Doesn’t this also create little pockets of virus-laden air? And therefore walking through these concentrated pockets increase your chance of hitting the optimal viral load to catch this?

Wouldn’t it be better if this cloud of viruses are spread about by normal, maskless breathing?

After all, the solution to pollution is dilution. . .

Feel free to share on the flubro thread if so inclined.”

I know it’s pointless here, but here goes.

Coughing and sneezing launch high velocity spit and snot for up to 10 meters (without a mask)

BUT your asymptomatic infected people still TALK and BREATHE. That sends out particles several meters.

And what percentage of the population is asymptomatic that it necessitates the masking of every one, and shutting down the economy?

And the concentrated crud goes IN TO your eyes, also a vulnerable portal for viruses, bacteria, etc.

A mask must be worn to prevent high velocity crap? Whatever happened to ‘COVER YOUR MOUTH’when sneezing or coughing?

Fatty McFatpants was doing a fundraiser ad for Senate Democrats.

Her voice don't match her fat face. She has the voice of a skinny person. Very odd.

Do you really think people walk around coughing and sneezing and not doing anything to mitigate the spread? Why don’t you show that video with someone putting their hand over their mouth or putting their arm over their nose, and then spread your mask nonsense.
