Do Masks Work?

Exactly! I've tried to point this out several times.

Sometimes I feel I'm the only one on an English speaking board that speaks Japanese.

Course, I felt the same way in algebra class in college.

And I feel certain I did speak Japanese one night after too many beers and shots.

As usual, the sheeples have it all assbakerds.

The only people that should wear masks are ---

People who are sick and their Dr.s tell them they are contagious.
People who are easily susceptible to getting sick from being around others in public.
People who have lung infections or sinus infections.
People who have low or no immune systems.
People that have no social manners of any kind.........such as coughing with your mouth open and spewing your shit all over the place, or sneezing outwards, not downwards or into a tissue or covering your nose/mouth with your arm.

In other words, if you have a medical issue or condition that would be passed on to others via what comes out of your nose or mouth, or you could easily catch something, then wear a mask.

For me, I'm wearing a mask until next spring, because I've got allergies, I get dry coughs that just happen, and I'm still recuperating from my hospitalization.

I'm hoping next spring will see a drastic downturn in all of this absurdemic bullshit and all the nutjobs wanting to build Nazi prison camps for the non-vaxxed. Hopefully then, I can ditch the masks myself.
Healthy Asymptomatic folks can spread the virus too, even if they are vaccinated ....

Think about it .....
 
Fuck off little boy ...

I am well fucking aware of what wearing the N95 is all about ....

You want to have a problem with it ....

Call your boy Biden and ask him why he is transporting Wuhan positive Illegals ALL over the US .....

Protect the people you LOVE !!!
Why so touchy? Calm down and enjoy yourself instead.

Biden is a freaking disaster. Obama had one thing right.

"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to *uck things up!"
 
If you're not going to bother to read the article, don't comment. Ok?
"But one solution may be hiding in plain
sight, and it is rooted in basic high school
physics. The largest respiratory droplets,
which are expelled by coughing, sneezing,
or speaking, come from the pharynx and up-
per respiratory tract.2 This is also where the
virus replicates the most.3 Volume is a cubic
function, so these large droplets can hold
exponentially more copies of the virus than
small ones. The large ones quickly succumb
to gravity due to their size, while the smaller
aerosols, generated in the lower respiratory
tracts of infected patients, can remain sus-
pended in the air for several hours.4 This
makes N95 respirators indispensable for
protecting health care workers treating criti-
cally ill patients; it also raises the question of
whether more humble alternatives could
block the large droplets outside critical care
settings. As Dr Sui Huang lays out in a bril-
liant exposition of the problem, even make-
shift masks create a physical barrier that
limits where these droplets can land.5 While
wearing them does not stop all exposure, it
is curtailed, and studies of crude masks
made from basic consumer materials suggest
that they can make a difference.
Perhaps more importantly, masks drasti-
cally reduce the number of droplets that
make it beyond the wearer’s mask and into
their surroundings. This insight may be crit-
ical for coronavirus. Preliminary analysis of
nasals swabs from asymptomatic and symp-
tomatic individuals indicate that they appear
to have similar viral loads.6 "

Some protection is better than no protection. Logic 101

 
Don't be a DUMB FUCK ....

N95's will reduce exposure ......

They do not stop the spread ....

How about the ones you LOVE .....

Willing to do what it takes to reduce their EXPOSURE?

Think about it.

Pfht. I don't have to take this abuse from some gnome on a message board!

I have people lined up, waiting to heap abuse on me.
 
Depends on why they're so adamant that 100% of society wear one.

Do you really believe it's about stopping the spread of some virus, knowing that they don't actually stop the spread of said virus?

They work for soemthing alright. It just isnlt to stop the spread of some virus.

Nope. They work for something else entirely. It's about putting you in your place at the barre lof a government gun. It's about forcing you to accept that you're not an Individual and should bee seen as an Individial but rather a part of the collective.

That's what cultural Marxists do.
YES IT IS ....

But, the virus is real ....

And, they are using it to cull the heard and take away our Freedoms ....

This shit is real ....

Protect the ones you love ....

Whatever the FUCK that means .....

We all need to take this seriously.

Agreed the approach is debatable ....

But this SHIT is happening ....

Former President Biden COVID-19 adviser and top epidemiologist Michael Osterholm admitted that typical paper masks are ineffective and suggested that Americans may need to switch to heavier duty N-95 masks to battle the new wave of cases in an interview on CNN Monday.

"We know today that many of the face cloth coverings that people wear are not very effective in reducing any of the virus movement in or out," Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said.

"We need to talk about better masking," he continued. "We need to talk about N-95 respirators, which would do a lot for both people who are not yet vaccinated or not previously infected."

 
Hello Skye .. :)

Oddly enough it's looking like the vaccines are a covid variable magnet and the safest path is natural immunity with reliable therapeutics .. which .. the Democrat propagandists refuse to acknowledge in favor of their dedication to political fascism and ultimately America's freedom loving decline.
“its looking like…”?! Like from where?!
 
If you are in high risk group wearing a mask might decrease your odds of getting covid a little but it won't prevent it. Mask might not be totally useless but they are also not the great covid stopper they have been made out to be either.

The virus to masks is like volkswagon beetle to the Holland tunnel. It'll zip right through.

I wonder if it would work if I just duct tape my damn pillow to my face.
 
Surgical and cloth masks are like trying to use a tennis net as a coffee filter.

N95 and KN95 in conjunction with hand hygiene does the job... anything else is nothing but pissin' in the wind.
N95 masks work only if you are sick and wearing one to prevent your droplets from infecting another. Also, N95 masks are also effective only if you don't touch them while wearing them. If you do they lose their efficacy.

The above information is from two medical doctors as of last week.
