“You either have the spirit of fear, or you have the spirit of faith.”
Or, referring to that same verse (II Tim. 1:7), “You either have the spirit of fear, or you have AN UN-SANE MIND.”
I think you done and answered your own question, slick!
Hey, they worked in Sweden.
No, wait. They didn’t require them. In fact, they didn’t lockdown and for them it’s history.
Theory is that air systems in schools, restaurants, public places can spread the virus. Someone has already made filters and also something like a light scan you go through.
I love how protesters get a pass in the media, about not being selfish as they wear masks. But, they don’t maintain that 6 ft social distancing that we are mandated to do. Shoulder to shoulder, screaming in peoples faces through their mask not an inch from that person. Oh and you are to watch “not to scream, talk loudly” to help not spread COVID as well.
Since medical professional working at their trade have worn masks for decades, there is a reason. The masks protect the patient and the medic
For a journalist to write such an article proves he is balthering about a subject in which he has no real knowledge. He is purveying garbage to earn his daily bread
Sweden is different country then US. My ex sister in law daughter and husband live in Sweden. They are very healthy people. Not obese, walk everywhere as it costs 2K to apply for a drivers license, they are not huggy people, they eat moose, venison and no processed food with banned chemicals in them unlike US.
There is no common sense for a low IQ population. A virus is .12 microns in size. Most people have no idea what a micron is. A smoke particle is FOUR TIMES that size. If you can smell smoke through your mask, then you can , 4 times more easily, intake a virus particle than the smoke particle. Wearing a mask to prevent inhaling a virus is like putting up a chain link fence to keep your yard free of mosquitos. The mask is a sign If how successfully our “education system” has dumbed down the masses.
Masks DO NOT STOP SUB-MICROSCOPIC VIRUSES. They are meant to stop bigger germs and bacteria.
The best defense against the virus is to wash your hands often and keep them out of your nose, eyes and mouth.
I have not worn a mask since this pandemic started. If a store requires it to go in, I either don't go there or I go in without a mask. The grocery, drugstore and hardware stores I frequent the most, all require them by order of the county but they don't enforce the mask requirement. The one little restaurant I go to, requires masks by the county order to enter but not when you get inside to eat. Now that is the stupidest rule yet. Doesn't accomplish anything. The county commissioners who ordered the mandate are all elected lay people who don't know masks from a hole in the ground.
If masks worked, we wouldn't have had to stop people from working, to stop businesses from remaining open, to close schools, to cancel everything in our society and culture, etc., etc., etc.
The masks are a tool of the ego-driven, power hungry "experts" like the fraud Dr. Fauci and his ilk and are meant to control people and not protect them.
Again, the simple question, if masks worked, why didn't they?
Tell me how much you know about first order differential equations because the issue is illustrated with a simple math problem, the same math that keeps reactors safe and makes nuclear bombs explode.
This morning a local reporter was reporting on the hurricane from a deserted beach.....wearing a mask pulled down below her chin. Usually they wear them with one side hanging off their ear which, to me, makes them look incredibly stupid.
This virus has a TCID50 - all viruses which infect animals do (I don't do plant virology, so I don't know about plants).
The TCID50 for SARS CoV 2 is obviously less than measles or chicken pox. How much less remains to be seen.
So, anything that reduces the number of infectious particles that get out of someone else's respiratory tract and into yours will "work" if it reduces your uptake to below the Minimum Infectious Dose (MID), for which the TCID50 is a reasonable surrogate.
The particle science people who generate <0.3 micron particles in rotating drums and blow them through various materials make a very strong case that masks don't "work". They made the same case for H1N1 flu, which led CDC to persist in the foolish recommendation that patient care for H1N1 required N95 masks when that was not true of any other form of influenza and proved not to be true for H1N1 either.
Every European country that adopted universal masking experienced a prompt and sharp decline in new SARS CoV 2 infections.
This is not an argument that we should or shouldn't pay the price of ANY intervention to prevent these infections, which, as many here point out, are usually mild.
But the claim that "masks don't work" is not true.
Libertarian conservatives don’t like them
And prescient to the point of being nearly prophetic.
They are stupid. Otherwise they would have a real job
Well all I know is that you don’t need to wear a mask while playing high school and college football. Seems that youngsters grabbing, tackling, piling on each others sweaty bodies are deemed safe practices while the coaches on the sidelines and the few fans in the stands are required to wear masks. Meanwhile, everyone else in my state, Kentucky, is required to wear a mask in public places. Unless you’re part of a ‘protest’, that is. I’m in permanent ‘protest’ mode until this mask insanity ends.
Even they know that viruses are too small for a mask to have any protective effect.
Masks are worthless to stop sub-microscopic viruses, even the ones medical people wear.
I have been watching Australian Rules Football as that appears to be the only televised sport with no BLM wokeness going on.
They are playing in front of socially distanced crowds.
Nobody on the field nor in the stadium appears to be wearing a mask.
I guess masks only work in the Northern Hemisphere. Because down there the virus travels in a counterclockwise swirl or something.
They are very healthy people. Not obese, walk everywhere...
