The mask is essentially useless: The mask is not an adequate defense against the COVID-19 virus... The virus checks in at somewhere between 0.06 and 0.14 microns, meaning it’s too small for any commercially available mask to effectively filter it out. The pores on an N95 mask, which are the best masks you’re reasonably going to find, and the vast, vast majority of you are not going to have N95 masks but rather cloth masks, which perform far less well, are 0.3 microns

Staten Island a mob of “karens” forced a woman from a store for not wearing a mask and they were not at all polite about it; they were vicious. This is all the end result of the wholly unnecessary lockdown of the American economy which was based on fallacious “science” from the outset. It is the distillation of the cultural divide. We are a nation split between the fearful, those easily frightened by anything they read in the mainstream media, and the not-by-nature fearful who are justifiably suspicious of the nonsense spewed forth by the mainstream media

Heroes of the left, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx have been wrong, wrong, wrong. Long ago the great Thomas Sowell wrote that “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”
The lockdown was never needed. The hospitals were never overrun, the mortality rate has been a fraction of what the “scientists” predicted. The “data” has all been corrupted.

two types of people .. “karens” and “sharons.”

Heck of en excerpt. Well done. Thanks.
Understood, however which side is coercing the other? Americans standing up to tyranny should be applauded, not chastened
It was funny. Low hanging fruit, but funny.
“I’ve heard the micron measurements over and over. I know a stupid mask doesn’t filter out Covid virus, but I do think it limits the droplets of our breath from traveling too far. It reduces the viral load.”
Exactly.
Stand 20 feet from a candle and blow, in 2 or 3 seconds you will see the candle flame flicker. Now try it with a mask and you won’t be able to make the candle flicker from 6 inches away. That’s what the mask accomplishes, it reduces how far you can infect people.
I really wish people wouldn’t politicizing this, it makes our side look really stupid. Just like the Left politicizing HCQ makes them look stupid.
So your point is to lie?
Look in the mirror buddy.
I agree. Anyone with two or more brains cells can figure out that even a crappy dust mask will reduce the viral load coming and going. I wear a mask in retail establishments, and while half the other people there aren't, I don't take it personally. Neither should they.
Karen only works if it’s true.
Otherwise, people like me don’t give a shit.
Might be fun to watch unless it lands you in jail.
i can tell you almost all the doctors I know do not wear masks when outside the hospital. That alone speaks volumes
No argument there. I see it on both sides, but I definitely understand why people are casting off the mask. They’ve had enough. However, wearing one doesn’t turn me into a lib. That’s where I think this all goes off the rails.
This argument is so stupid, I almost stopped reading right there.
Otherwise the article is ok. If I got to a crowded area, I wear it as a courtesy to others. Thats all. The way this whole thing has gotten politicized is sad, and stupid. From both sides, yes. Stupid. Dumb.
Agreed
Totally agree with you! And you’re right about the masks and their purpose. Further, if a private business chooses to enforce a mask policy, we of all people should respect that. Private businesses make the rules for themselves; that’s the ESSENCE of private property rights! Don’t like it? Don’t shop there.
so you stop some droplets with a mask (the ones that don’t go above below or out the sides). You do the same by covering your cough or sneeze. Think about those cloth masks everyone is wearing. unless they are discarded or washed after every use they are breeding grounds of disease living in your pocket or on your dashboard or in your purse. They are almost never worn or fit correctly. They induce the wearer to touch their face more not less. They probably spread more disease than they prevent
If someone wants to wear a mask it’s no issue with me. However I do not promise not to point and laugh at the most outrageous ones
No kidding. I’ve been reading about “Karen” for several years myself.
For those unaware: A “Karen” is a usually middle aged extremely entitled woman with a bob or similar “I want to talk to your manager” hairstyle and attitude.
Her main claim to fame is how incredibly arrogant and selfish she is, in addition to treating most staff at whatever establishment she is patronizing (BOTH meanings simultaneously) at the time.
Look up “I don’t work here lady” on youtube for some examples.
