    Again....how does this support mask wearing for everyday life?

    Ok I guess i have to spell it out. If you are sick or sick and not showing symptoms or just before showing your symptoms you will be less likely to pass the virus on to someone else. It's ****ing clear.

    It's not a difficult thing to understand. If wearing a mask is a good idea for health care workers who may be asymptomatic, then the same is true for others.

    If you care about not catching or spreading the virus, it's a small inconvenience.

    Swedish deaths per capita now 10 times Norways.

    If we had gone the Swedish way we'd be looking at 1 million rather than 100,000.

    That's not what the article was talking about. They were talking about protection. By your logic no one should have COVID 19 or everyone should have it. Which isn't the case. Stop being an idiot. There's literally mountains of information that masks help. If you don't choose to look for it, then you're an idiot and should leave this thread right now because you will never understand a fact from a lie.

    It's not true. It's talking about masks as protection from the virus, not as protection to spreading it.

    If thethe says soemthing is true, google it, it's probably a lie by a twitter troll. He's the worst.

    But there's also acknowledging being a difference between being upset that you're inconvenienced to being upset that a cop murdered someone in broad daylight.

    Yes, I know how far to Lalaland he's swung. I don't know why I ever reply to his lies. Not being able to IGNORE him is the biggest loss of liberty issue in my life.

    I figure I've have to have contact with the virus at some point, so I wear it now more for manners than for protection. But who knows? Can't hurt.

I literally had someone come down the wrong way in the grocery store yesterday, without gloves or mask, and nearly bump into me on the way by. Then they stopped two feet from me and started looking at the shelf. I moved on down and waited for them to leave the area to come back to get what I was looking for in the same spot. They were there about four minutes. Probably enough time to expose me if I hadn't moved.

    Talking to thethe about why masks wearing is good is like trying to talk to a toddler about quantum physics

    You have a better chance the toddler is an enigma and understand you than thethe understanding basic **** like mask wearing can help

    There’s a reason South Korea has opened up and had far less deaths vs us

    And it’s literally for every reason thethe and dumbass oppose

    The article basically states that having a mask outsidr or in a well ventilated area has limited to zero impact. Not sure what yiu are missing.

    Talking about how health care workers work within a health care space is irrelevant.

    We haven't opened because democrats want to hurt trump.

    Effectively all places that have reopened have materially seen no spike in cases.

    And SK has massive government intervention that works with am obedient population. Butnwhy would someone like uou understand nuance.

    Minutes to me isong sustained contact.

    Go out in public and time how many times someone is within 6 feet of you for even 1 minute. Youll find thats few and far in between.
