That is likely because there is no “correctly” that can make them effective against viruses.
Then, too...you might not.
Avoid the stores until they drop this stupidity. There are alternatives.
You may have an effective mask. How many people wearing these “masks” have one like your with “a personal ion generator”. I believe you are the one and only.
I’ve been through many Asian large cities over the last several years. “Some” people wear masks...not all as some people are implying. Over the several months we collectively spent in these cities we never wore a mask. We’re still here.
And wouldn't that be the absolute worst.
Ding..Ding.. we have a winner!
What, masks deplete testosterone?
If your stores are already so low that you have to worry a mask will put you over the edge you should get a supplement.
LOL!
What about knitted masks?
Imagine being so uninformed and foolish thinking wearing a mask makes you safe.
So you believe that, dust masks, bandannas and homemade cloth masks make it possible for people to share enclosed spaces with others and not spread contagious airborne pathogens made up of particulate 1/10th the size of the particles found in cigarette or marijuana smoke? What these face coverings do is form a moist membrane of concentrated germs that are blown free every time you exhale.
There are no “scientific studies” that prove that they have any health benefit or prevent the spread of disease. All we have are models and theory based on easily disproved assumptions.
When my crews and I were transporting people in the back of small rescue units who were coughing with the flu, antibiotic resistant TB, respiratory MERSA and other serious airborne infectious agents our protocol called for masks on them designed to help contain their emissions and properly fitted masks, eye protections and gowns on us. There was still no guarantee that we wouldn't get infected and many did over the years.
I have many years of hands on experience, training, and education in this type of situation. You are a foul mouthed shill for the marijuana industry who has completely bought into holier than thou virtue signaling. Thanks again for the comic releif!
And that coronavirus is expelled not individually but in droplets of fluid that a mask can catch.
Hopefully, just to guarantee being safe the mask-os will wear theirs 24/7 for the rest of their lives.
I said nothing about guaranteeing being safe - go battle your straw men elswehere.
False. At least four studies show that masks reduce the transmission of the coronavirus disease SARS: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5779801/
I know, but he makes such a good straw man and provides so much comic relief. I doubt that many buy into his faux arguments about anything.
Oh, and a virion is NOT a "virus particle."
No. I did.
“Avoid the stores until they drop this stupidity. There are alternatives.”
EXACTLY what we’ve been doing. I wish bankruptcy on the places that promote this.
Hubby and my sister haven’t worn a mask yet. I’ve had to twice for pre-surgery appointments. Other than that ... they can KMA.
No. The “absolute worse” would be something like if a rogue star collided with the earth this afternoon.
