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

There was a choir which one member was asymptomatic. A significant number of the others got infected.

Singing, talking spreads the virgin as well..

I live in North Dakota. Tomorrow I’m going to a small town bar to play in a poker tournament. There will be 7 to 8 tables. Ten players plus a dealer all sitting shoulder to shoulder. No masks. At the dinner break there will be a self-serve buffet style meal served. Nobody is worried and most of us have never been overly concerned.

Here’s a website that is a clearinghouse for medical personnel in Europe who are skeptical about this whole Plandemic.

The videos are mostly in German with English subtitles. There are also transcripts.

I’ve heard the “droplets” theory time and again, but since this epidemic has started, I have not seen ONE person in public cough or sneeze, and I have been in many box stores and other high-density locations.

Ergo, IMO, the “droplets” excuse is just another weak reed to support wearing the masks.

When this first started I was seeing many more infected and very ill patients. I was told a simple paper procedure mask was all I needed and that is all that was supplied other than a shared face shield added to it when seeing covid patients. Now that numbers have fallen way off and those we are seeing aren’t nearly as ill my employer has decided everyone must mask in all places at work even aside from patient contact. Fauci opens his fat mouth and now my employers require goggles in all common areas as well. If you follow the logic of the fearpers since we are seeing less people that are less ill the plain mask worn only to see covid patients did the trick to reduce infections. So why am I wearing all this garbage now???? site all about control. Nothing else
