I find it hilarious watching all the terrified people wearing masks, constantly touching readjusting the masks, then taking them off and throwing them on the front seat of the car or in a purse and put in the same mask back on Next time they go inside a building. Do they not realize that completely defeats any purpose of wearing a mask as you have now cross contaminated everything?
The virus doesnt last that long on most surfaces so if there is any contamination it is temporary and as long as you wash hands or use sanitizer after touching something that may be infected, it's not a big deal. And just because a virus can be detected on a surface doesn't mean that it's enough to infect somone.
In my state the masks are often required in stores. Not everyone who wears one is "terrified". I wear a motorcycle helmet even though there is little chance I'll get into an accident. I do not wear mine out of fear, but precaution.
It's to protect the workers from the few sick losers who still go out even when ill. I think that's fine until there is a vaccine. The workers may have elderly around.
There is disagreement about whether the masks work, but I don't mind people who need them using them. That's why I specified perfectly healthy people and them being deathly afraid of contracting it.
“In conclusion, both surgical and cotton masks seem to be ineffective in preventing the dissemination of SARS–CoV-2 from the coughs of patients with COVID-19 to the environment and external mask surface.”
While interesting, that study alone doesnt tell us much. It's like saying football helmets do not prevent head injuries so why bother wearing them at all.
Pede, I would recommend to find a good church with a pastor that actually teaches salvation through Jesus Christ and loves people instead of manipulating them and building his own little fiefdom. Lots of us have a tendency to get angry, but I think lots of it is just frustration from doing nothing. Most of us won't make a difference in the world at large, but we all can make a world of difference to someone. Direct you energies toward something positive and do what you can. Just my take.
Well pede, I would also say you are seeing what they want you to see. There are two effects from how mass media tries to program people. The first is to create the idea that "all reasonable people" buy into whatever they are selling at the moment. That's the herd mentality. Then they want to make everyone that feels contrary isolated and alone. You're not alone. We have a network of like minded people here. Learn facts and try to persuade people. If you hate where you live, come up with a plan to change that. Even if it takes a while, it is something to devote yourself to. Don't give in and let your feelings make you into what they claim you are. They're wrong about us. Don't prove them right.
This is what I was looking for... Thought about OBEY!
Or 'No independent thought'.
You can have independent thought as long as you arrive at the same conclusion as the party.
Obey your betters would have been a good alternative line.
Not to mention common vitamins can prevent it or make it short duration.
Every time you touch your mask, it get dirtier like your cell phone.

All true. Most people don't know how to make sure the masks work. But it doesn't matter because it isn't that big of a deal.
I have neighbors who have not come out their house since lockdown. Their newspapers are piling up. Super paranoid people.
Fucking Television...

That is not a world I want to live in.
Then, pede, we have to try to make it into one that we do, one person at a time.
Note just that. There's studies proving now that the non-N95 masks people are wearing isn't effective:

the survival rate is a lot higher than this when you include all the people who recover without ever being tested
True. Should have put >.
Greater than 99%*
True. Didn't see a way to edit.

I felt bad, but I really wanted to cuss out a target employee for telling me to pull up my mask. This shit is stupid, and doesn't do anything.
Ok you don't die , but you fight for your life for 1 or 2 months lying in bed with fever and cought
I'd rather have a cup of tea
Right not I am at day 43 still counting : it's 10 times harder than the flu
No one can deny that masks are very efficient in stopping the flu
