To mask or not to mask....That is the question. Part II

[GodFearinGunTotin]

When we were told that covid was primarily spread by droplets, and not through the air, the rationale behind even the cloth masks seemed plausible. But as soon as it was evident that the spread is primarily aerosolized, well that ended any plausible claim that cloth masks could be of any use.

Even N95 masks weren't ever going to stop covid. I think one study of both cloth and N95 masks said cloth effectiveness was negligible while N95's were somewhat effective if worn properly. But "properly" means correctly fitted, no facial hair, a time limit for wearing must be observed, throw away when that time period is used, and no reuse. Which essentially means N95 makes are not practical for the masses. Impossible for children. So I think health care workers could benefit from that. They work in an environment where it's more practical to wear them "properly". But c'mon. Making your kids wear N95's is gonna save the world from covid? That's delusional.

This information (about masks) was all known prior to 2020. The spread mechanism was known early in our reaction. My employer is still on board with the science (TM). I mentioned in another thread that because certain counties in SE Michigan have exceed the BS CDC guidance, they re-imposing their mask protocols in those counties. Too bad Trump didn't fire Fauci and Birx when he had the chance.

I thought the best move would have been to fire Fauci. But when Biden took office, I'm sure he'd have hired him back anyway. People on the left think that dude is god of science.

I've been saying that since the beginning. People have no common sense nowadays.

Yeah.

In other words, trolls gonna troll.

I mean.... Yeah. Or more succinctly "Go back under the bridge troll"

Vaccines can end pandemics - for a given pandemic, and a given vaccine. Vaccines were never going to end this pandemic. IMHO because the virus is simply too mutable. They did serve (or could have served) a purpose, though, in helping to protect the most at-risk. But, they were too politicized, all around.

It would take a more effective vaccine than any of the ones available for this virus.

hey remember when that ******* lawyer on here called everyone liars about all this stuff?

We're surrounded by "just do something" or "if it saves just one life" kinds of people out there.

And I’ve promoted in the past with the irrational that we need to ban all modes of motorized transportation because it would definitely save at least 1 life.

He's proof of the old saying, he who smelt it dealt it.

Yeah. I've proposed lowering all speed limits to something like 15mph to save just one life. But I've come to understand that logic and reason has been replaced by situational morality by many of those people.

I'd stay away from proposing ludicrous things like this because they are just dumb enough to do it.

Don't forget to require that all drivers wear five point racing harnesses and football helmets. If it saves just one life ...

And fire proof racing suits.

I sure do, but be careful I was banned for reminding him in such a manner.

Hang on..... let me find my give-a-****

 

[Timjoebillybob]

Gave blood last week, unfortunately it was at the hospital and they still require masks. I did put one on, but when I got to where they were doing the draw the people from the red cross asked if I wanted a bottle of water. I said sure, if I'm drinking I don't have to have the mask on. They laughed and said, yep.

Good luck, I haven't found any in a couple of years.

Supply chain issues...

True. We've got a major surplus.
