saw a thin-blue-line mask at work, covering only the bottom lip.

do all lives matter? then maybe actually follow the rules and wear your pro- law enforcement mask as more than a soul-patch-do-rag.

some of us have families, try and be a little more all-encompassingly pro-lifey.

nut up, and do the right thing (even if it means a little inconvenience for your egocentric tush), comrade

No thanks.

I’ll venture an answer why a person might not want to wear a mask

1. They might be a person who is Not a servile slug of a human Who habitually does as they’re told by their rulers (who happen to be the mafia pretending to be a human rights organization)

Or a person who can and does actually read studies/statistics that’s show how ineffective cloth masks are in mitigating viral spread +
How ineffective mask mandates have been to slow/stop the spread...

Idk how anyone can even argue it an effective strategy?
Plenty of places with high mask compliance and skyrocketing case #s..

How’s that happen?

Damn right.

Had to laugh at that dipshits nut up comment,,,

Damn right. We have a right to shit anywhere we please. Don’t let them tell you different.

To clarify for HH who seems to have some reading comprehension issues
We are discussing the efficacy of clothing our faces to prevent viral transmission..
Not bowel movements

I understand how American citizens get a bad rap.

Who is moronic and limp enough to change their opinions based on some (un provable and baseless) worldwide opinion ?

I’d say Go ahead and hate..
Hate until ur frothing at the mouth and ready to pop for all I care .

3 days continuous days of the highest rate of infection yet.
Under such circumstances, who would advise anyone they cared for not to wear a mask ?
In places like Taiwan, where compliance with pubic health is high,
things are back to normal and they are having public ball games.
Masks and social distancing work.

Clothing on your butt or clothing on your viral infected mouth. Both serve the same purpose.

Absolutely correct. I began wearing a mask based on scientific evidence from s Korea. Not some dummass mandate or someone telling me I should.

I don’t think anyone claims a mask is 100% effective. Besides the physical distancing, it’s about the only thing that can be used to slow the crap coming out of your mouth as you go about your day.

Odd that some members here would likely pull someone from a burning car or building but can’t be bothered to wear a mask to keep a compromised individual from catching a potentially fatal virus.

3% mortality with COVID 19, lots of bad cases that don’t end up as a death as well. Lot of unknowns with a virus less than a year old.

U.S and South Korea each got their first COVID case 1/20/2020,

South Korea has 30 COVID cases per 100,000 residents,

U.S. has 1,650 COVID cases per 100,000 residents.

Unlike those who don’t wear masks because some dummass told them they shouldn’t.

I am taking all the precautions for corona and still caught a flaming cold.

Viruses are not equally contagious. You have to be tested to know for sure and if you're like me, the idea of someone shoving things up my nose has no appeal. You'd think there would be a better test by now? I'm not sure it's even been proven the virus can spread by means other than air. Wouldn't be ethical you know to try to infect a hundred young people in order to understand how it spreads. You'd think at some point someone would mention the death rate at so-and-so age, like maybe people would take it more seriously if it was framed like if you're over 70 you have a 10% chance of dying, but there seems to be disinterest by the relevant statisticians.

i would very much like to see these studies/ stats because apparently we read different publications.

seriously, please post the evidence that supports the weird claim that masks don't help curb the amount of sars-cov-2 being spewed out of our mouths and noses.

please?

Are cases rising in places with high mask compliance? And if so
How is that possible if masks are so effective?

absolutely nobody claims the masks are perfectly effective at bringing infections to a desd hault.

the real way to figure it out like you're hinting at would be to have an alternate reality where we could look at the same cities with and without mask compliance, over and over to see the statistical layout.

i asked for your studies and stats, do you have any?

I’m not writing you a report.
Check it out.
Similiar rates of infection, lower death rates.
No lockdowns and no mask mandates
