Brad GLuckman 519 Posted November 13, 2020 The anti-mask crowd continues to just baffle me. What an odd thing to get all worked up about. Here's a new report that cloth masks protect the person wearing it, as well as others. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/11/11/933903848/wear-masks-to-protect-yourself-from-the-coronavirus-not-only-others-cdc-stresses 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knew we could have stopped all viruses centuries ago just by wearing a face diaper. 1900 - I bet in the future we'll have nanobots to fight infections. 2020 - put a diaper on your face Eta - since you finally found ONE study that says wearing a face diaper keeps you safe you go right ahead.

Once I read those, some by the CDC I was convinced it did not work. Fauci was correct initially when he said do not wear the mask in March. Think it's Sweden and China who are not wearing them. They should be getting decimated going off your 10% theory. They are not. It does not work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you can see in the video, the respitory droplets being spewed are less while wearing different types of masks. These droplets contain covid virus, if the person is covid positive. So wearing the mask will actually slow the spread of the virus. Get it? Now 98% of the time it's bullshit, because only a small portion of the population is actually infected and they don't know it, but that's the science behind it. Argue the science and you're a retard.

Hawkeye21 2,388 Posted November 13, 2020 Cdub has said numerous times how masks don’t work and that they lead to more sickness. He keeps saying that almost 100% of the people in his area are wearing masks. He then brags about how he doesn’t know anyone who has had COVID. I live in an area where most people do not wear masks. Everything has been open and people have been doing what they want. We have some of the highest infection rates in the country. It sounds like Cdub has been giving us a prime example of how masks just might work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never in our lives have we ever worn masks en masse like this. The numbers simply don't add up. For masks to be effective they have to be worn properly. Part of that is disposing of a mask after wearing it. You also can't touch your face and you're supposed to be in a controlled environment. Even doing all that mask offer little to no protection. The are worn to protect the wear from breathing in or ingesting blood and other fluids from patients not to stop viruses. In the general public masks are not worn properly at all. People don't dispose of them, people are constantly touching their face. Virus thrive in CO2 environments wearing a mask reduces your oxygen intake they also create a moist area for bacteria and other germs/viruses to collect next to the most vulnerable parts of your body to those infections. The mask mandate here in Michigan went into effect at the end of June. Go look at the infection rate time line. Not a week after the mandate our declining infection rate shot back up and have stayed high and steady since. Mask wearers can get focked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is on her twitter. Yesterday she puts in place a Chicago lockdown starting the 16th and says shouldnt do a traditional Thanksgiving. Cant make this stuff up. Same with the DC mayor putting Delaware on the high risk travel ban then going against it herself and going to Delaware to celebrate a Biden "victory".
