I dont mind wearing my mask, I sterilize it after each use by letting it bake under the windshield of my car for hours. I wouldnt wear it for extended periods though, just when I have to be close to other people occasionally when going out. I look good in my mask, with dark sunglasses, I look totally bad-ass. I got no problem with occasional use.
Like th e meme said.. if underwear and jeans can’t keep a fart in how is a cloth mask going to keep a virus out.
They don’t work period and were never designed to keep anything out, they (N95) were originally designed to help keep surgeons from contaminating patients during surgery.
Masks have to make breathing more difficult — or they wouldn’t filter-out anything. Sure, people can adjust to them for limited times, and they’ll do it to keep their jobs. But the people pushing them for everybody for extended periods of time have no idea how adjustment to them affects health over time and throughout the population. Does the heart rate increase to compensate for the increased CO2 and the extra breathing effort? Does this wear out the heart over time? And what about the lungs, where there is reduced airflow and fewer deep breaths?
I wore a mask in a medical setting for a very long period of time. I wore a mask in a (nuclear) laboratory, again for months at a time. I wore EABs and other respirators in the military. I don’t have a problem with wearing a mask when there is a reason. That said, the reaction to the China Syndrome Virus is absurd.
I will not wear a mask. ‘Nuff said.
Just a thought. As a Hazmat guy, OSHA makes me go for Medical tests and I have to fill out all kinds of forms to wear N95 masks and other PPE. Every 2 years I have to blow into a tube and have my lung capacity tested. Have my oxygen levels tested. Blood Pressure tested. Just a thought.
I agree.
But what if the person is sick but doesn’t know it? Up to 40% of infected COVID-19 persons have no symptoms but don’t know that they are sick and are actively spreading the virus.
They feel healthy! So why should they wear a mask?
But they’re not healthy. They could give you the virus during one short conversation.
The asymptomatic spread of this virus is the truly devastating feature of this virus. If the asymptomatic spreader is wearing a mask, the likelihood of them spreading the virus is greatly diminished. It’s not rocket science.
Are you an asymptomatic virus spreader? How do you know?
