How about the 1st of Never?
Good post. Lots of sensible advice there. It answers the concerns in my post #17.
I do have a question. Just how good are those N95 masks? Has any neutral party tested that? All else being equal (distance, etc.) do they reduce long-term infection risk by 5%? 95%?
That denies the experience from the Spanish Flu Epidemic in 1918. Innumerable people were killed by bacterial pneumonia, rather than a flu virus, by the actions of the masks they wore.
When wearing a mask,
When you inhale, you suck in viruses, toxins, waste gases, and the bacteria from your lungs that clung to your masks from previous breaths you took.
When you exhale, the mask traps the toxins, waste, and bacteria from your lungs against your face.
Prove me wrong.
OK .. hear we go .. I love these kind of threads...

Well, if you insist. I always wear a mask when I play the lead in our local theater company’s production of “The Legend of Zorro”.
One wonders at what these Nazis would reply when told, "If you can smell a fart through your mask, then you can get the ooga-booga Covid, too."
I have never stopped wearing a mask.
Getting people to refuse to wear masks and observe social distancing was a major PR success of antivax/antiscience charlatans. They even managed to convince people of the completely contradictory ideas that masks somehow block oxygen but do nothing to stop viruses, even though virus particles are hundreds of times larger than oxygen molecules.
With their aggressive antiscience campaign, the antivax/anti-medicine charlatans ensured that the efforts to stop the pandemic early on would fail and that the virus would have the chance to entrench itself and keep mutating. And they targeted conservatives in order to convince as many as possible to refuse to protect themselves against infection, so that they would die from SARS-CoV-2. I have even seen liberals credit the higher death rate of conservatives for the fact that Trump lost the election.
When radical leftists like RFK Jr., Naomi Wolf, and a slew of Hollywood celebrities suddenly start telling you that masks are dangerous or that vaccines kill, WHY do you believe them? Does no one ever suspect them of maybe feeding you falsehoods because they want all conservatives to die? Sheesh, would you trust a fox to guard the henhouse?
“People infected with Covid should wear masks around others to prevent the spread of the virus”
That is actually a reasonable recommendation. If you’re sick, don’t spread the shiite around.
Just like every other Flu that has ever been, if you’re immune compromised, mask up in crowds if you want.
“if you want” is the key phrase there.
Mine too. 😄
“I have never stopped wearing a mask.”
So masks do cause brain damage ?
Sad ....
Halloween perhaps, or in case of gas attack, otherwise NADA.
Stay away from Covid fascists and you will live long and prosper....
“Has any neutral party tested these masks to see how effective they are?”
Yes there have been several studies on the effectiveness of masks. The most rigid study that I have seen showed that a good mask properly worn does offer temporary protection in a one on one close proximity situation (about 20-30 minutes if one person wears a mask, about an hour if both people are wearing them).
The key is to know when to wear them and when not to. The odds of catching COVID outside are about zero and even indoors walking around a big store or office, the chances are pretty low. The odds get pretty bad however if you are indoors within 3-4 feet of an infected person for more than ten minutes.
Interesting info, especially the time factor. Thanks for the reply.
There are going to be “new variants” of the Kung/RAT Flu until the end of time.
“or go to the Liquor store”
It would be funny if someone made a booze called “Stick ‘em up!”
I’d wear a mask and ask for it!
“Zorro”
good one ... and that reminds me ...
I always wear my mask when riding around with my good friend Tonto.
“When to wear masks”??? When you’re a moron! imho
“ooze called “Stick ‘em up!”
BWA haha ... that’s a hoot ... hands up don’t shoot.
there is a viral meme in there somewhere ..
