Masks help to prevent your spittle from becoming airborne in droplets that can be breathed in by other people. These droplets and other particulate matter is what the virus hitches a ride on. Your mask is not going to prevent the spittle from a maskless person from being breathed in by you, the only thing that can help there is standing at least 13 feet away from them if there is no breeze, and much further than that if there is one.
This was such a simple thing. Just sew up a two layer cotton mask and wear it. Now we might get stuck with President Harris, all because masks are the hill people decided the GOP should die on.
Actually masks can reduce the viral load an infected person spreads, but the issue is that of why COVID-19 is dangerous, which is due to the overall poor health, with almost all persons dying with it having comorbidities esp. obesity, and hypertension.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that almost 90 percent of U.S. coronavirus patients who have been hospitalized had underlying health problems, or comorbidities. As of 8–22, for 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.
Freedom is such a horrible hill to die on...if freedom is such a frightening concept to voters; then perhaps what’s left of America deserves President Harris.
How much does wearing a mask help?
