Yet again. The only mechanical plus for masks is reducing the spreading of the wearers exhalations. On the intake side of the equation, it's a waste of time. So if you want to make people FEEL safe from your spewage, wear one. If YOU feel like it. Virus don't care about no steenkin' masks.

It asks whether you are smart for wearing a mask, but the only metric given is education.

I think we all know people educated beyond their intelligence.

The karens demand masks for all.

I have zero use for a karen.

Some of the karens gone wild on twitter are funny and kind of sad at the same time.

Here’s what I don’t get. If the mask can’t prevent the virus from getting through your mask, how can it prevent your exhalations from getting through?

I always wear one during flu season but flu season is over. Now I only wear one to the doctor’s office because of the sign that says “mask required”. I’m going to the orthopedic doctor in Knoxville and they are required. With me it just depends on where I am and if it’s flu season or not.

Yes, it is most certainly an IQ test. Smart people know how to read data points and don’t wear masks

Does Wearing a Mask Mean You Are Smarter Than Those Who Don’t?

Sure...

I wore a mask out in stores the first 3 months of this crap.

Not doing it anymore.

It means you can live with less oxygen.

Much like lower animals like fungi. Good on you I say.

So here’s an experiment.

The particle size of a virus is no greater than .03 micron. The particle size of the fumes from a wood fire is about .03 microns. If you said “Gee, those are the same size,” give yourself ten points.

Dutifully don your fashion mask and light a few matches to simulate a wood fire. Breathe deep. If you smell smoke and say “Gee, I smell smoke, so my fashion mask is allowing the inhalation of .03 micron smoke, it must be completely useless to combat a .03 micron virus.” Give yourself 20 points.

For extra credit, repeat the same experiment with a N95 mask. Breathe Deep and what do you know, you still can smell smoke.

No one I know smokes and I’m not going to buy a pack of cigarettes to do the experiment in reverse but it might be fun to try.

“A mask is not a political statement. It’s an IQ test.”

Wow! Self-described environmental activist (a watermelon Marxist) John Lundin failed the test.

The left always does this.

They attribute their politics with intelligence. It is a ruse to not have to deal with ideas they disagree with.

(Note: I am in favor of using a mask in crowded places, but respect your right to not do so. I’d never call you names for disagreeing)

Everyone tries so hard to come up with reasons not to wear masks.

There are the mask bullies. Then there are the anti mask bullies.

The extremes on either side tend to be dogmatic morons. YOUR individual conditions should drive your decisions.

This is not difficult, people.

I actually don’t care about a mask. We live rural and typically wear one when shopping and except when home or driving. I don’t fret about what people think. With a mask on you can lip say anything you want about others.

Actually N95 masks will protect you from others if you have one and wear it. The N95s types with an exhaust trapdoor outlet will not protect others. The gestapo lied to us as they didn’t want average people wearing N95s and reducing supply, but everyone already knows that.
