Could Face Masks Be Spreading the Coronavirus?
American Thinker.com ^ | July 29, 2020 | J.H Capron

I used to wonder how the Salem Witch Trials could have happened. I don't anymore.

With the "Karens" (male and female) going hysterical in this viral panic, I clearly understand now why it's said, "if you think education is expensive, try ignorance." Ignorance, or maybe better put, a lack of knowledge, sets up the American people to be exploited by their own politicians and government officials. But, relative to a pathogen, it also sets them up to become disease transport agents via a mandated fomite: the face mask.

For those not familiar with the term "fomite," it's a non-biological object contaminated with a pathogen, making the article a source for spreading the pathogen. For me, this viral panic has made it evident that most people have no understanding of viruses, their life cycles, and how they propagate. The fear of the unknown is the outgrowth of this lack of knowledge. It leads people to take irrational actions that will spread a pathogen.

Here we are in the 21st century, and the general public is no smarter than the general public was in the 17th century when it comes to dealing with the unknown. So let's look at a pathogenic event in the early 20th century.

In 1918, we had the Spanish Flu (also known as the Spanish Fever). The medical world was in the initial discovery phase of viruses...as a theory. The ability to actually see a virus would not come about until the invention of the electron microscope in the late 1930s. Viruses are at least 100 times smaller than bacteria. I suspect that the medical profession believed that this outbreak was the result of an unknown, tiny bacterium that could not be seen with a microscope.

Why during this most serious biohazard pandemic
infection EVER,
[ignoring that it was CREATED by Xi and FauXi]
requiring masks and gloves EVERYWHERE,
with the most contagious virus (allegedly) EVER,
is there not one (1) biohazard bin or box
to collect these allegedly contagious, biohazard masks???????

Been looking for months, none seen.

But: the piles of infected, wet masks increase
everywhere, on trees, flying along highways, parking lots,
beaches, and forests. And the MSM today demands
a federal law to impose these useless training Burqae.

Of course they can .. they do! It’s the only “good” thing about forced face diaper wearing ... scared senseless people who would otherwise stay in their homes but are emboldened by their face diaper to venture outside contract and transmit the virus and help build widespread immunity as face diapers are not only ineffective against the infinitessimally small virus particle the diapers are selected, test fitted/applied, used and maintained by nearly everyone who has bought into the panic porn fad.

Mask litter is definitely increasing.

But doesn’t a few days of fresh air and sunlight inactivate the virus? Prisoners can pick up the masks with pointed sticks.

Still on my first cup out here ... left out the important word “improperly” before the word “selected”. Sorry.

For sure they are going to spread bacterial and fungal infections as most people won’t keep them properly clean.

When they die of those the deaths will be chalked-up to
COVID, no doubt.

Thanks to Vendome for the above.

It sure is interesting that the surge in infections coincided with the surge in mask wearing.

If you believe in coincidences.

Doubt it. If that were true the riots would have been a bloodbath of epic proportions. I’m still pissed that millions can be huddled together and no virus outbreak but a church service ends up with 35 positives. Life is unfair!

Watching Nadler playing with his filthy Chinese dust mask was disgusting. It was clear his face mask was a biological hazard and he was lecturing the republicans about not wearing one... like he was.

What a pathetic loser.

"Why ... is there not one (1) biohazard bin or box to collect these allegedly contagious, biohazard masks??????"

^^ THIS ^^ is a most excellent question.

 

In fact, it's about time people start writing/emailing/asking in person, government "officials" and large corporations (ex Costco)...WHERE ARE THE BIOHAZARD containers for the discarded masks seen everywhere?

It takes between 1 and 2 minutes of direct summer sunlight to kill the virus.

Web journalist Tracy Beanz is reporting that just as some are getting seeds they didn’t order in the mail from China people are now receiving masks they didn’t order from China. Troubling as she put it.

Trump should suspend all postal service from China immediately.

We have some FReepers who will strongly disagree with this! They’ve drunk the mask koolaid and are still thirsty!

If masks are so effective in catching and containing deadly exhalations, then why:

1) are we still “social distancing?”

2) encouraging the washing of cloth masks with the household laundry?

3) aren’t we treating used masks as a biohazard?

4) aren’t we being required to place used masks in special hazardous waste containers?

Hmmm...either they aren’t all the effective or they are a part of a plan to further the spread?

As one of those Frontline Doctors put it yesterday, wearing a mask is like throwing a fistful of sand at a chain link fence.

Will it stop some of it? Yeah. But not enough to do you any good.

He then went on to describe what’s involved in N-99 PPE which is the only thing that is really effective. Highly impractical unless you are going to do surgery.

Those would all be excellent questions for Dr. Fauci, IF any actual journalist is ever in the room with him again.
