Unless a mask is N-95 rated or better all it's good for is virtue signalling and to condition the public to follow stupid orders from petty tyrants.

Masks are being used in nursing homes, yet infections and deaths are still at high levels.
In Pennsylvania, nursing home deaths are over 70% of the total Wuhan deaths.
My mask is my passport.
It’s like a large-scale game of Simon Says, but instead of Simon - it’s Science.
They do not work in theory, nor practice. In simple terms, the virus is small enough to penetrate the fabric of a mask. That’s the theory. The practice obviously has proved itself as wanting.
Wearing a mask is as effective as stopping mosquitoes with a chain link fence.
Masks are like a screen door on a submarine - no protection and very dangerous to your health.
This is ridiculous. I went to a store recently, after the customer in front of me checked out and left, an employee proceeded to spray and wipe down the counter, the key pad, etc. I probably picked up and put back a dozen or so different items as I looked for what I wanted. As far as I know, no one swooped in to sanitize each item after I set it down.
It is ridiculous and doesn’t make any sense, because for one thing they wouldn’t have the time to do all that.
What it says on the backs of the disposable masks we buy: Not for use in healthcare settings.
Nuff said.
BTW, we can’t find disposable masks made anywhere but in China.
We’re going through at least a box of the dang things a week.
Wonder if Cuomo is getting a kickback from the ChiComs for the fricking mask mandate.
Yeah and mosquitos like me, or hate me?
The Chinese have made $$$$ on manufacturing a thin piece of paper with two rubber bands and convincing people it will save their lives.
I’d like to see some data on how much money is being made on masks. Something tells me it’s a factor.
“Follow the money.”
It’s the appearance, not facts, that matters.
It’s not just medical physics, geometry and math is too tough for most.
Virus can be tens sometimes thousands times SMALL that bacteria. Masks are designed by the weave thread count to stop the size of bacteria, not virus. Yes the vector, droplets, can be reduced which reduces the number of virus exhaled. Virus attached to water MOLECULES will not be stopped at all. Molecules are smaller yet and masks don’t stop molecular size anything.
If you are going through a box every week, and they are not effective...why are you going through a box a week?
Masks are public submission, not public safety.

Because if I touch it, I toss it. And the second I leave a place where one is required, it comes off. I dispose of it in a bag in my car, clean my hands, then get a fresh mask if I have further errands to one in any place requiring one.
I’m more afraid of Noro, actually. I’ve had that. I’d rather have WuFlu.
