The obsession with masks, an actual useful medical tool transformed into a cargo cult fetish, has echoes of the medieval misuse of legitimate medical practices during the Black Death.

Democrats overplay whatever they're dealt...including masks.

Gee, ya suppose someone is still salting countries with the Covid 19 to re-stimulate fear in order to warrant mass lock downs?

Secondary bacterial pneumonia from wearing basically a dirty vacuum cleaner bag on your face all day.

It's actually a mobile petri dish, that you wear on your face, so your warm, moist breath can keep the cultures flourishing.

At least logically I could see one part being you still have plenty of unexposed people who can spread and get. It also appears that there is some kind of long-term reservoir for the virus other than a human body, or some people are really long term carriers.

That’s why I like N95 or a gas mask, because either one lets my exhaled air out.

Masks don’t work well, but if I, being in a moderately high-risk category, can reduce the viral load during exposure, even a little, I will continue to wear masks when in public.

Besides, it’s fun walking into banks and liquor stores wearing a mask and a gun.

Cool. I just let my nose handle that. Does a pretty good job, almost like it was made for it!

As someone better than me said, “Nuts”. The reservoir is ur lungs filled with virus particles you could not expel. Keep wearing that mask 24/7 and you’ll end up like your namesake - a brain in a jar.

On the other hand, in Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan, and other East Asian countries, properly worn masks are the norm, they have low infection and mortality rstes.

The population in most of Europe does too. Doesn’t it seem possible that less exposure could be part of it.

Could very well be. Could also be that Europeans, like Americans, self-report that they are wearing masks, but overstate their mask-wearing and/or improperly wear their masks (i.e., loose fitting and/or under the nose).

Yeah, but how do we know everyone is lying about masks?

Human nature. Like asking a 22 year old guy how many times he has been laid, a fisherman about his latest catch, or a woman about her weight. People lie or have willful blindness all the time.

The Prison Guards who got COVID-19 with their masks on can lie all they want, but the security footage from the prison shows that they were wearing their masks on the job, and yet still got infected.
