In many people, they trigger asthma attacks.

the only person who should be wearing a mask is the Lone Ranger.


The Lone Rangers mask covered his eyes, not his mouth and nose.

You go out in the sunshine, the UV rays kill most of them. What's left pretty much dies if the humidity is above 40% and the temperature above 90 degrees (which is most of the time in the South).

Wearing masks outside are more dangerous than not wearing a mask outside.

Wear one or not.

But when you say you want numbers such as those in Korea, Japan, or Taiwan—take a look at the steps they take.

But that would mean you would have to contact trace and wear a mask.

None of you want to do that.

So, there is your answer.

LOL. Sure.
And thats why the Southern states are currently having the fastest growth in cases.
And what do you suppose the temperature and humidity in Brazil is like?

PS you don’t need to wear a mask outside UNLESS you are in close proximity to others. It’s not that complicated people.

I was trained for asbestos abatement but was not fitted for PPE as it is illegal to fit a person with a beard. Anyone wearing a beard can not be tightly fitted. It is probably more dangerous for a person with a beard to wear a mask.

Face masks are good for droplets, not airborn.

Also, folks who are happy to smother themselves are also more likely to social distance. So it may be the social distancing that’s doing more good than the face mask.

I’m all for the social distancing. Not for self-inflicted hypoxia.

My Freedom is more important than your fear. Maybe that's a hard fact of life, but there it is. Whether you accept it or not is unimportant.

Masks are the same sort of safety theater as is TSA.

My guess is that they are probably about 90% effective at reducing infections at grocery stores.

Masks are tools. They, like police officers, are not anywhere close to 100% effective.

The economy needs vaccines.

They are the visible symbol that the wearer has agreed to adopt sheep-hood.

No human can prove the science of mandatory wearing of masks as it might prevent the spreading of the virus. It’s based upon non-scientific paranoia and the thrill of being a political tyrant.

What is the infection rate with a mask vs no mask?

“hypoxia”

I could never tolerate wearing a mask for a two-hour period.

They make you realize you need to use mouthwash more.
