If you believe that you are full of hot air.

The best mask is not more than 95% effective. Most have a much lesser efficiency rating.

Droplets can get in your eyes and cause the virus. So be sure and wear a face shield.

So wear a mask, but also know that you can still get the virus.

The virus doesn't really give a shit about your race or your political affiliation.

I blame China

"Masks are not 100% effective"

They are a hell of a lot more effective than no mask.

So what is the meaning of this stupid thread.
Everybody knows nothing is 100% but wearing masks is shown to be effective to slowing down the spread.

If you don't wear a mask with 152,000 people dead from the virus you are just straight stupid....no matter what your political party is.

His point ... to Doofey to get is... the argument from some has been, masks don’t work.

Well... they do work... they just aren’t a guarantee... but wear them anyway.

But you are so bent on being a dick.... you went right into your combative retardo mode.

"Masks are not 100% effective."

"If you believe that you are full of hot air."

Wait -- so OP thinks masks ARE 100% effective?


Anyone with the sense God gave a grasshopper understands that masks are not 100% effective.


OP isn't making any sense.

Also,

Medications are not 100% effective.

Hospital ICU's are not 100% effective.

But we mitigate our health risks the best we can. Avoiding self-destructive habits, exercise, healthy eating and following expert medical advice can lower your risk of health catastrophe, and wearing a mask is a risk-lowering act for yourself and others.

No the OP does not believe masks are 100% effective.
The op please believes libtars can suck dick.

That while masks may help they are not gonna stop this virus.
Biden is not gonna stop this virus. A vaccine is not gonna stop this virus.

I hope all the libtards wear their mask while they're driving.

I hope they wear a face shield also face shields prevent the virus.

Dude
Please educate your fellow Trump basher sherkahn. That libtard believes they create 100% safety.

Yesterday, Dr. Fauci recommended goggles or face shields to keep the virus out of your eyes.
I am buy a face shield today. Republicans should ignore the advice of Fauci and listen to Louis Gohmert. He is surely the smartest Republican in the Covid field.

Actually, a vaccine Could stop the virus.

Not sure we will get there scientifically quickly (or ever) but hopefully at least decrease symptoms and have effective non invasive treatment.

Masks are designed to protect a person on whom surgery is being performed. One does not want to cast particles at a person whose body cavity is open so he or she wears a mask.

Op is spewing nonsense.

Masks are very effective at preventing spread of covid virus and containing droplets that spread infection.

Its 100% proven fact.

He makes no point. Numbers of % containment are made up fiction. Masks don't work like that for a virus. The n95 95 number is a different thing.

But suppose they do. Say a mask is 95% effective. I wear one and you wear one. If I'm contagious my mask stops 95% so 5% passes. And your mask stops 95% of that which is 4.75%

So 2 people wearing masks stops 99.75%
Yeah that is 100% effectively

N95 masks

Actually a type of respirator, an N95 mask offers more protection than a surgical mask does because it can filter out both large and small particles when the wearer inhales. As the name indicates, the mask is designed to block 95% of very small particles. Some N95 masks have valves that make them easier to breathe through. With this type of mask, unfiltered air is released when the wearer exhales.

Health care providers must be trained and pass a fit test to confirm a proper seal before using an N95 respirator in the workplace. Like surgical masks, N95 masks are intended to be disposable. However, researchers are testing ways to disinfect N95 masks so they can be reused.

It’s equivalent to saying condoms are not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy.
I don’t think there is any thing in medicine that is scientifically 100% effective for anything...very close to 99% even but not 100%.

While a surgical mask may be effective in blocking splashes and large-particle droplets, a face mask, by design, does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may be transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or certain medical procedures. Surgical masks also do not provide complete protection from germs and other contaminants because of the loose fit between the surface of the mask and your face.

Surgical masks are not intended to be used more than once.

"The op please believes libtars can suck dick."

Who could argue with such cogent logic and erudite debate?

It's not really a shock that Trumpers as a group intersect widely with the same cohort as anti-maskers.

A rejection of science, hard data, and medical experts, in favor of conspiracy spewers afraid of the great boogieman of the right, George Soros.

Pathetic.

Libs get this and feel safe



Don't forget to wear your mask while driving your car with the windows up.
Make sure when you go out to wear a face shield so you don't get any droplets in your eyes.
Be sure and throw that surgical mask away every time you wear it it's a one use item.
Stay locked in your house until they come up with a vaccine that's as good as the one they used for flu.
Keep blaming Trump for what the Communist Chinese created.

If you don't have a N95 mask your piece of cloth just makes you feel better.

Actually, my notes were wrong. "Aerosol" should be "smaller aerosol" and Droplets should be "larger aerosol," although it it likely that the figures for "larger aerosol" could be used for droplets as well.

Better to wear masks, social distance, work from home, and stay at home unless you've got business to attend to than to end up with COVID. They keep finding more ugly information about it:

"The list of lingering maladies from COVID-19 is longer and more varied than most doctors could have imagined. Ongoing problems include fatigue, a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, achy joints, foggy thinking, a persistent loss of sense of smell, and damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain."

And we're talking about in people who were well enough not to be hospitalized.

But scholars, nonprofit leaders and former regulators in the specialized field of occupational safety say relying on surgical masks — which are considerably less protective than N95 respirators — is almost certainly fueling illness among front-line health workers, who likely make up about 11% of all known COVID-19 cases.


This person Shi Zhengli had it in her lab. It started from her lab in Wuhan.

If it wasn't caused by the CCP I wonder where it did start?
