The problem is: mask efficacy goes up the more everyone wears one. It is a simple gesture to keep your neighbors safe. Why is your freedom to infect other people trump their freedom from getting sick???
No shirt, no service. Right? What’s the difference? I think you need to engage with why you’re politicizing simple decency. Put on your mask because it’s a good thing for society. Just like throwing your trash in a trash can.
Für das Vaterland!
Don’t these people get it yet? A typical cloth mask is like stopping a mosquito with a chain link fence.
“We’re not gonna make it, are we? Humans, I mean.”
“It is in your nature to destroy yourselves.”
Mask pore diameters are much greater than the diameter of the virus. It is like trying to keep mosquitos on the other side of a chain link fence. The mosquitos are amused.
A mask will stop some of the air born particle droplets from a cough. Oddly, these are the less dangerous. They fall to the ground. The real transmission occurs in the non droplet viruses exhaled in normal breathing. That is the infection vector.
A perfect double blind study happened accidentally in South or North Dakota, I forget which. One school district used strict covid procedures with masks and social distancing etc. Another district did not. Infection rates were almost identical. When the district using strict procedures canceled them the infection rate did not change.
Yes, the government will lie to you!
Masks are vitually useless.
