It goes deeper than that. One the masks have to be worn correctly. 2, They cannot be reused like people do. 3. They have to be the right masks. In a box of ear masks there is a note that says they are worthless to protect against anything.
Even then if they did stop the virus why isn’t there HazMat trans cans outside WalMart and other places?
Ping.
Scamdemic. No masks, no vaccine. You either have the spirit of fear, or you have the spirit of faith.
If the person is contagious. These PCR Covid tests could be as much as 90% false positives because they do not measure viral load which is how much of the virus you have and which determines if you are contagious.
The virus is out there,everywhere. There’s no way you’re NOT going to contact it. You’re either going to get sick or not. Masks are about as effective as a rubber with a hole in it.
Saturday I saw a women walking outside with a mask on. No one within 100 feet of her. A few minutes later a minivan went by, the driver - by himself - wearing a mask.
obedient little morons
The idea of wearing a mask has nothing to do with whether or not it will stop a virus (it won’t) but to condition the populus to play “lets pretend” so that it will be easier to suggest that a man who wears a wig and a dress can also bear children and menstrate. It is meant to change attitudes of strong willed people.
Indiana RINO Governor Eric Holcomb is about to lose his re-election race for Governor over his idiotic Mask Mandate.
Since Holcomb mandated Masks in Indiana on August 27th, his lead has dropped 14 points and is falling lock a rock.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
