I'm sure the masks Biden is sending all of us will prevent any droplets or air flow from escaping!!! https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/biden-administration-weighs-plan-directly-send-masks-all-americans-n1256681 Yeah. Masks with no airflow = suffocation. And as if there aren't masks sold in every freaking 7-11 or gas station or cheap liquor store or online. Let's use more tax payers money for useless crap. This has been the worst start of any administration ever. Including hussein's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only listened to this on mute...is he arguing against masks in general, or just double masks? The first mask definitely seems to be restricting the vapor, although maybe the second one isn't doing much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fireballer 2,643 Posted February 4, 2021 Just now, TimHauck said: The first mask definitely seems to be restricting the vapor More like diverting the vapor. What vapor doesn't escape, quickly saturates the mask with Covid goop, and the mask only holds so much moisture. Then your distribute those microns through additional respiration and touching the mask. If nothing else, its an excellent reminder that avoidance, or social distancing is really the only prevention. I can see how initial lockdowns were helpful in "flattening". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The mask clearly resulted in less water vapor going towards the camera. That’s really all I’ve ever said masks do. The second mask didn’t seem to do much more though.

It’s been pretty relaxed the whole time in most places though. I’m fine with letting things get back to normal. If people are not comfortable with it then they can stay home and have someone deliver or do curbside pick-up just about everywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So people had a choice to close if they disagreed with government policy and stayed open.

Why don't the people who don't want to be exposed to people without masks just stay home? Or go to businesses that require masks? Why can't the solution be to allow the business owners to set their own rules for their store? If the business owner believes people should wear masks, make that a store policy. Then only people who want to wear masks go to businesses that require them, and other people go to businesses that don't require them? I mean, why does everyone have to follow the same set of rules?
