I have heard anti-maskers talk about their rights under our constitution and of course i laughed at that as it is bogus. BUt I did not have a good way of describing anti-makers until I read this. Anti-maskers are like the people in the movie Jaws who knew there was a shark in the water killing and eating people and still they wanted the chief of the police to allow them to go into the water. I guess you could say that the chief did not have the right under the constitution to keep them out of the water. the big difference between anti-maskers and the people in the movie of course is that the people going in the water in the movie were only hurting themselves, while anti-maskers are hurting everyone around them.
 
OTOH the masks that most people are wearing is one sewed up by Aunt Martha. It is usually one layer of T-shirt quality material. It is practically useless. Even the best masks filter down to 3 microns. The china virus measures 1.2 microns. The masks that 98% of the people are as effective as putting up a chain link fence to keep mosquitoes out of your back yard.

Bottom line masks are basically little more than political dictatorship.

if you don't understand the differences in masks and their intended purposes, then I suppose you can come to that silly conclusion.

The Cornavirus is expelled on water droplets. Even the cheapest mask will stop the vast majority of those water droplets in a person's breath. Do try and learn what you are talking about before giving people bad information about something actually important.

Why would governments go through the hassle of trying to get people to wear masks if they didn't help to stop the spread?

Political dictatorship is when the tinhorn ruler suggests postponing an election he thinks he will lose.

Yes, Spielberg nailed demonstrating the phenomena well.

No, they are not hurting everyone around them. In fact they rarely hurt anyone around them.

So far, two people on this thread don't understand the science.

Really? So you have an explanation for how the virus is transmitted and for the fact that there’s plenty of observational evidence, aside from myriad studies, that point to the efficacy of masks?

Do tell.
 
It is interesting that several videos and accounts from California show mask-wearers being very aggressive, to the point of assault, against those not wearing masks. Last week an old lady pepper-sprayed a couple sitting having a picnic lunch with their dog in accordance with ordinances which allow the mask off when eating.

RT this morning shows a masked couple (the woman) harassing 2 guys without masks sitting trying to eat. She throws hot coffee on one of the guys. A good resolution, the cops that were called had the woman apologize to the man she threw the coffee on and peace returned.

I wonder if there will be any videos or accounts of unmasked people harassing masked people?

Wash your hands, don't touch your face stay home if you are sick, a mask is not appropriate or needed in a non health care setting was the mantra a little more than 100 days ago. Now it is, cover your nose and mouth, doesn't matter with what, a hankerchief will do. Anti maskers don't like to be lied to. Fauci inadvertently told the truth when he said masks were to remind those around you to be fearful. I guess they do do that.
I carry a mask and put it on when I go to a business where the employees are wearing them. It is out of respect for them and their sacrifice. It is kind of like holding a door for someone, a courtesy. That person was planning to open the door, didn't need my help.

If there has been a myriad of studies....the mask would have been our first response not the last.

Today we know more than we did 100 days so the recommendations will naturally change. There is nothing sinister about that (and I’m not suggesting that you think it sinister but plenty of people apparently do).

100 days ago the virulence of the virus and the fact that it is largely transmitted via exhaled water droplets was not well understood. As well there was and understandable concern about prioritizing safety of healthcare workers.
A lot of people apparently do not understand or take into account that as knowledge grows the strategy for dealing with the virus - or any problem for that matter - changes. It is not a static situation as many seem to believe but is actually highly fluid.

As for masks themselves they are a normal part of dealing with respiratory viruses in Asia and they work there. As well you’ll find that mask wearing was a normal recommendation during the Spanish Flu outbreak here in 1918. This isn’t a new recommendation in any way.
 
the militant maskless are idiots. they should be fined, and the stores that let them in should be fined even more severely.

That line is Hillaryous.

Because when people get power, they like to utilize it. It makes then feel important and that they are saving the world. Their lives are usually very dreary but if they think they are like some Avengers character or supergirl, that gives them a euphoric feeling.

I will repeat this for all hear. there have been ZERO scientific studies of the effectiveness of home made masks on the spread of COVID. At best there has been anecdotal studies of HOSPITAL issue masks on the spread of the FLU.

Don't believe these reports that "science" has studied wearing of masks for COVID and found them to be effective. NO SUCH study can be made unless you risk the lives of people in controlled studies where KNOWN people with COVID do not wear masks and stand 5 feet away from someone and cough in their faces! You would need to do that with thousands of people in a controlled room with scientists taking copious notes and readings of the particulates being emanated from the KNOWN COVID carrier and then follow the people around who were in contact with that person and make notes of who got the virus and who died and how many and also make sure those people weren't around some others.

As a society, we need to engage in critical thinking and stop this nonsense of believing others just because they have some initials behind their names and even IF millions of our fellow man believes what others believe. that is how religion started and that is how and why tens of millions were made to believe Trump colluded with Russia and were willing to impeach him over that lie. The belief disease is so powerful that some STILL insist Trump colluded.

It's like Logical1 said. Home made masks by Aunt Martha are like chain link fences. All they do is give a snowflake bragging rights that he effed with the non believers so much that they have to wear them now or be shot.

But the true cultists approve.
 
the entire issue is that the leader of our country turned logic/staying safe into a political wedge issue.


you can't fix stupid.

What's scary is people are still making these absurd conclusions at this stage of the game.

A fair number if you've been paying attention....even beating them or pulling out guns.

We now know that these are the same people who do not wash their hands after going to the bathroom, do not cover their mouths when coughing or sneezing.

Pure stupidity. Without a tight seal around periphery, NO amount of FILTRATION will be effective. If REAL masks were mandated, MY GOD, you pansies would implode. The REAL MASKS, worn for many hours, to save your sorry life when you do get infected, are UNCOMFORTABLE. And yet you are ready for revolution, to stop wearing the auntie model.
