Are you retarded? Do you honestly think that wearing one of those flimsy, paper-thin masks makes a blind bit of difference?
Why wouldn't it? It's a filter, check the filters in your car. Those work, don't they?
Check the filters in your vacuum cleaner. Doesn't this work?
But on your face it suddenly loses all value? :Confused:
Facts: Masks will not protect you from getting infected (unless it is an N95 and even then it only lasts 20-30 minutes before the filter part gets wet) and instead their sole value is to make droets from infected people not go as far. It does work for that but if you are in a confined area for more than 5-10 minutes you can still get infected.
So very modest protection and only if the infected person is wearing it and only if you aren't near them very long.
You are most likely to get infected by touching a surface and then touching your face (especially eyes, nose, or mouth).
It can cut down on the viral load you get exposed to so you may not get AS sick.
But yeah I think its causing way more problems than its solving.
Then I am happy that you're not a decision maker here! :)
Well I AM a decision maker for myself and family because that is all I'm responsible for.
I'm not interested for making decisions for other people. You are an adult and have access to all kinds of info. You can take responsibility for yourself and make your own decisions based on that. Or wait until daddy government tells you what to do next.
Adults should be able to have discussions and share opinions with the understanding that they are still 100% responsible for their own damn selves.
What IS it with you guys? You really need the government to make your decisions for you? You should keep that immaturity to yourselves and the rest of can self govern.
You are the reason people push back and rebel.
I will make my own decisions, thank you very much. So dont tell me I'm not.
it takes a village sweetheart ... your attitude is selfish ... jus sayin'
Well let me know when the infection rates come down in areas with mask mandates.
So it's not enough that everyone wears them, we have to have the appropriate attitude about and pretend it's working....or we are still "selfish".
You ever think maybe you have a selfish attitude when you want the government to control the public and you dont want anyone to question that?
How do you feel about lockdowns?
If you don't like lockdowns or governments telling you what to do, then certainly don't go to Asia.
The governments there are mandating masks, gloves, sanitizer stations, curfews, lockdowns that would drive the typical North Americans completely bonkers.
If you think you're so hard done by, it's much more severe than many other countries.
BTW, Asia got the infection rates down, despite being next door to China.
But they're also scared shitless.
Everybody's paranoid over there, nobody goes out.
And this is how China controls its neighbours, just like they're doing to the world right now.
We'd all be best breaking off ties with Communist China.
They are pure evil.
