Some masks better than others

I was listening to a Doctor recently from Europe. Sounded like he was German, ranting about masks. He hated them. He said Sweden's infection rates were not out of whack with the rest of the world, and they haven't bought into masks. He pointed out that they are harmful in that it makes us breath more Co2 and people experience elevated blood pressure from them. I personally hate them, but wear them to conform. I work in a place where we were hit hard by covid. I didn't wear a mask at the height of the outbreak and only started wearing one recently when ordered to as with most of my co workers. I don't think a mask saved me from shit. Or saved other people from getting anything from me.
My other rant is the utter disregard for the environment that people using them have. Every fucking where you see them strewn about. On the street. There are pics of people on facebook with long sticks filled with collected masks just disposed of on the beach and everywhere else.

Only 9 months into a pandemic and the simple formula of shutdowns, social distancing, masks, contact tracing has been proven to work so many times and only repeated 1,760,000,500 times yet the "Stable Genius" crowd still are questioning it.
Only imbeciles AKA "Stable Genius's" are still questioning the use of masks as a preventive measure in the fight against COVID-19.
The fact that someone is using a Twitter post from Mark Dice the mouthpiece is another example of the "Stable Genius" trait. :ROFLMAO:

Yes, but a virus can be spread through aerosols AND water vapor as well. Think of the visible water vapor that you breath out when its really cold.
So you dont need to be sneezing or coughing out droplets, the water vapor in your breath is more than enough to spread this virus.

Exactly my point
you clearly don’t know how viruses travel. That is all I can say at this point.

You don’t understand at all. It is aerosols, NOT water vapour that transmits viruses. This article explains it for you.

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/202...d-coronavirus-just-breathing-new-report-finds

It states explicitly, aerosolisation of virus through breathing, NOT water vapour. Larger aerosol droplets. NOT water vapour. Drop the BS, and learn some science. And stop listening to the anti-mask bullshit. Masks can stop the virus-laden aerosol droplets.

here in Canada and the U.S.A most of the dead have pre-existing conditions, the average age of deaths are 80-81 and this "virus" is treatable and have 99.9% recovery rate
How many Americans have the preexisting condition of being obese? 40%?

Age is irrelevant.

Death isn't the only negative health consequence of C-19 infections.

A 99.9% recovery rate means 1 in 1000 are dead & dying from a C-19infection. If you are not taking safety precautions you are playing Russian Roulette with your life or the life of others or both. That's a fools' game.

LOL...did you know you can get a girl pregnant from pre-cum?? Pre-cum is just a TINY bit of liquid.
So what makes you think you would need a gaping wide hole (instead of a microscopic hole) in a condom to get a girl pregnant??
Nobody ever said masks are 100% effective in making one safe. The point is they reduce risk & increase one's safety, just as a condom with minimal defects or a tiny hole may do. That's why your OP title & video are wrong.

It's very safe to say amongst many things you also have very little understanding of this virus and you couldn't even read and comprehend what the article says.
Thank you for showing us your comprehension skills lack thereof once again.

In the city where I live there is a by-law which requires the wearing of a mask when entering businesses and apartment buildings. condos etc.

Since this was mandated by elected officials in a democratic system I comply with these rules.

If I was given the choice whether to do so or not I probably would under most circumstances only because for the little bit of effort it takes why take a risk.

Even if it's minuscule. Another reason would be to respect the wishes of those who may be more concerned than I am. Just to allay their fears.

People who - thought - they were healthy are dying from C-19 & other "healthy" ones not dying are suffering illness, hospitalization, ICU, long term negative health effects, etc.

Apparently "healthy people" do need masks because they may be infected & not know it & then murder someone else by infecting them.

The Whitehouse staff is quickly finding out what happens with guidelines are not followed.

Nah dude, its you guys who think you're amateur scientists, except I just exposed the bullshit you bought into from the "experts".

My video clearly shows exhaled air escapes everywhere from around the mask. Covid-19 is airborne through exhaled air (not just droplets).
So therefore the virus can infect others around you whether you're wearing a mask or not.
Its basic common sense. But common sense isnt very common amongst Lefties

So does automotive exhaust.

Viruses DO NOT travel in air easily by themselves or at all in water vapour. Did you bother to read and understand the link I posted? That is full of science facts. And what is YOUR training in science that gives you the right to insult people who show you where you are wrong? What are your credentials?

Guys like me like to read articles, understand what it means, understand who the source is and where the studies are coming from, the exact opposite of people like you who do not have a clue.
You keep proving that you can not understand what you posted in the article, it's a lack of comprehension skills.
That's why your ignorance persists on you listening to nitwits like Mark Dice who is as big a mouthpiece as they come and you believe and quote his anecdotal evidence over scientific data.

BTW can you answer this question. I've always wondered how many times did the dump truck run over and reverse on Mark Dice's face? He looks and sounds like he's been run over multiple times by a dump truck. :ROFLMAO:

Okay, lets play a little Q & A:

Do you admit coronovirus can be transmitted through exhaled air?? Yes or no??

A properly applied condom leaves a reservoir at the end. So for the sperm to shoot hard enough to get past a pin prick size hole at the end of a loose reservoir and then have enough momentum to do the deed sounds infinitesimal. If the condom is applied taut to the very end, that's a different story.

Do you think a condom with a couple of pin prick size holes is the same as no condom at all or would there be a decreased chance of insemination?
