I Don't Understand the Problem With Wearing Masks (AKA: Anti-Maskers)?

[EvMetro]

Freedom. Nobody can explain how the holes or pores in masks are supposed to filter out a virus or droplet that is 1000 times smaller.

It's been explained a million times. The virus is only a few microns, while the pores are 100 times that size in surgical masks. But exhaled "droplets" are 100's of times the size of single virus particles.

Even an N95 mask has pores many times the size of the virus. But it's design of interwoven fibers with an electrostatic charge, means the virus has to zig zag, where it adheres to the fibers during it's travel.

Even if this really was true, surgical masks have facial fit gaps that are big enough to pick your nose through. Any masks made of material that could filter out viruses build up so much breathing pressure that they just leak out the sides. And don't forget what happens to droplet nuclei after the droplet evaporates...

It takes 3 seconds to strap over your ears and go. What is the big deal to people? Why are there anti-maskers who are lying and saying they have medical conditions/other BS?

It literally takes like 3 seconds to put on your face and move on with your life...what gives?

liberal california had most covid...wearing five masks might help

 

[meaner gene]

Do you think drivers licences should be a choice, or mandated?

hahaha...hold on a minute.
So you loons have conned yourselves into believing that mask wearing somehow equates with driving....hahaha...WTF...Holy Shit!

Both place a burden on the individual, but as a matter of public safety, the benefits outweigh the burden.

Doctors say it can save lives...what makes me a Sheep for wanting to live? Dr. Fauci says double-mask if possible.

dr fauci also invested in wuhan factory

Some people just want to do what they want to do. Caring about what would be helpful for others they don't know or don't like, never enters their minds.

awww cry me a river

Masks are ineffective and unnecessary in most situations, the exceptions including medical facilities and nursing homes. But the real purpose of Masking is to virtue signal that one is a obedient little serf. It won't, however, save one from the Reign of Prog Terror in the end.

They used to say the same thing about hand washing.

Now we're supposed to wash our hands for at least 20 seconds.

 

[boedicca]

Not wearing a mask, merely because it is also "mandated", while knowing it could protect others is hardly adult.

The error in your logic is that we know that it is largely ineffective at protecting anyone, unless the thing against which that anyone is being protected is whatever contradicts his fear based hallucinogenic alternate reality.

 

[meaner gene]

BINGO. In CA, we've had several horrible years of wildfires. Smoke particles are much larger than the Covid virus. Most masks don't protect one from smoke, so they certainly aren't going to stop the Covid virus.

It's not the size of the particle, but the size of the carrier. Smoke travels as individual particles, while exhaled virus travels as globules.

If you need an example of the difference, look at gortex fabric. It repels water drops, but lets water molecules through. It's all about droplet size.

Swallow your kool aid son. You've swallowed everything else they've fed you. Wear your mask, take your Vax, the Gov will save you.

Remember, it only takes one person to take a dump in the pool, to ruin it or everybody.

The droplets are actually "sticky", as they evaporate they become even more so. And the virus stays stuck to the fibers after the liquid evaporates.

It's so pathetic what some people think passes for wit.

And how does a droplet reach the side of a hole that is 1000 times larger than the droplet or virus? What does it stick to the other 99% of the time?

Not even close. I'm not the one spying on, snitching on, or lecturing people to OBEY stupid diktats.

The anti-mask arguments, sound just like the anti-seatbelt arguments.

 

[there4eyeM]

People known to me who are experts on the subject assure me that wearing a mask should help protect others. Anonymous posts on the Internet do not outweigh that information. The simple possibility of protecting others for so little effort is compelling to anyone with any generosity. There is no harm in wearing a mask. What possible impetus would make people proselytize against it? Those making so much noise about such a small thing can only have destructive intent.
A person is free to ignore any social constraint. A person must be aware of the consequences of that person's actions.

It's 1,000 times the size of the virus, and the same size or smaller than the droplet. Remember exhaled globules are bound by van der Waals forces

Quote your source on averag virus size. Explain why particles would pass through mask fabric instead of taking the path of least resistance out the sides. Explain what happens to droplet nuclei after droplets evaporate.
