I’m anti-social and don’t want anybody I don’t know near me, anyway. A coughing fit is the perfect way to make traffic navigate around me.
A very good point I hadn’t thought of before
Perhaps masks work for bacteria?
Ever think of that?
Question for you, how much bigger is a typical bacterium than a corona virus?
You’re smart right? (You did come up with a clever straw man argument...)
Why the subterfuge?
I’m going to make a copy of this article and carry it around that is carry copies of it around that way I don’t have to argue with anyone about why I don’t feel like wearing a effing mask I’ll just hand them the article and say here dummy why not read the science I don’t have time to explain it to you
interesting article on masks
Many mask mandates went into effect months ago.
There’s no question people wearing masks are getting covid. The BLM leader of the protest at the Tulsa rally got covid, and he was wearing a mask!
Obeying unlawful mandates
Sheeple conditioning
Dont question your betters
Well I agree it is obvious that hospitals use masks for protections both for patients and medical personnel. But what we are observing now is ridiculous. Most people have the masks pulled down to expose their noses. Others hang them over one ear or strung around the neck. Off and on blah blah. In reality they become more dangerous to lay people who have not been taught how to prevent cross contamination.
Children are not able to wear masks well at all. People wear them outside and driving their cars.
That is why it really is silly to be making people wear masks.
Read the box on your masks. Ours, and others I’ve seen state that they do fo prevent transmission of viruses.
Read the warning label on your own box. Report back...
Try telling that to idiot Democrat governors who’ve mandated masks where ever you go or do.
You see, I see all these people saying you need to be worried about someone coughing or spitting on you, and the sad part is, at least when I was a kid, you simply don’t go out in public when you have a coughing problem. Not to mention you don’t spit on people. Not to mention making it criminal to spit at people would handle the problem. If you need a mask to stop people spitting on you, then there’s a bigger problem with common sense in play.
Here's the paper: https://www.cmaj.ca/content/cmaj/188/8/567.full.pdf?fbclid=IwAR26rwHBupMrOwV5NZ4EZDrK_7rEy3HWeZ01Dpbu3diPle1zGM3h3IOPYM0 They are comparing surgical versus N95, not mask versus no mask. Presumably that study is included in the artcile because the surgical masks have gaps and are assume to be inferior, And of course practically every mask being worn in public these days is inferior to a fitted N95. But that doesn't answer the question of effectiveness.
I messed that up - the label for the link.
It should have been researchgate.net. Not research.net... But the link goes to where I sourced the article.
I included the endnotes. It looked legit to me.
If you can smell perfumes and or other odors while wearing a mask that should be all the proof you need they don’t work.
>> This place is like a magnet for morons.
I suppose you’re the exception?
Breathing out through your nose produces far fewer droplets than speaking. Of course breathing in without the mask over the nose means you effectively have no mask. My criteria is pretty simple: if you want to be inside in a crowd and talk, then wear one to trap outgoing droplets. If you feel you are perfectly healthy with zero chance of being infected, then don't, but don't talk. Just breathe through your nose and keep quiet.
P
They wear masks to prevent spreading relatively large pathogens such as bacteria, not viri which are so small they cannot be seen with an optical microscope.
That's why Doctors who regularly work around deadly viri wear sealed, positive air pressure suits to protect them.
