To Mask or Not To Mask?
-
What is the goal? How are we going to measure it?
Exactly how many lives have been saved by masks?
Why would we ever go out without a mask? I mean forever and ever.
Why not wear masks and end all communicable diseases and save everyone's life?
wrote on 29 May 2020, 16:20 last edited by@Copper My goal, is to get past this particular outbreak until such time as proven, effective treatment, that prevents long-term health consequences from this virus, and/or vaccine is available.
I choose to wear a mask. A nice replaceable filter pocket homemade mask that my daughter so lovingly crafted for me. She made one for everyone in our family as well as her friends.
I live in a area not far from Chicago and my particular county has one the fastest growing number of cases in our state.
I will wear one for as long as I want to wear one.

@Doctor-Phibes I agree with you. Sorry if I made it sound otherwise.

No, I realised you did. I wasn't being grumpy at you

Opposing masks is such an asinine thing to oppose if you're in favor of opening up the country fast.
"Hey guys - let's keep our distance and wear masks and get back out there"
But, no - there's no good grievance in that message. I am genuinely a little surprise how stark the political lines have been drawn on this.

It's not the mask
It's the jerks telling people what to do
There are a lot of people who don't like being bossed around by jerks who they know are unable to tell the truth
If Mr. Trump insisted that everyone must wear a mask, cnn would condemn masks, no question

And the jerks requiring it don't heed it themselves. No mask. No social distancing. Just an Executive order telling EVERYBODY else to do it..

It's pretty funny how many people that think that being told to wear a mask is a sign of tyranny think that bringing back the draft would be a great idea.

People, get your head out of your ass. The mask (unless you're wearing a N95) is not good protection for you getting the virus. The mask is to prevent you from giving it to others.

That's exactly what I just said.

@Copper I think you are right! I doubt you would see many protesting people without a mask if they had one of these!!

@Copper it would hide the nosebleed you'd get from a punch in the nose, amirite?
I know some places where you could wear that.

Here’s a good accounting for what is behind WHOs guidance.
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/cdc-offer-conflicting-advice-masks-expert-tells-us/story?id=70958380
Short answer, most people in the world can’t get masks so that recommendation would make the WHO look bad in offering impractical advice. Guess what, they can’t shelter in place either but on the upside no one wants to visit them.

@jon-nyc I agree.
It bothers me that people think they are making some statement "against the man" if they dont wear a mask.
How stupid!!!!

There are still people who think the pandemic is nothing but a Barge-type plot to usher in the New World Order.
If it were they'd be smart enough not to collapse the world's healthiest economies to do it.
