As an ex-liberal I just want to say I'm starting to think you all were right.

Watching every liberal back quarantine and masks for a virus with a 99.99% survival rate.

The repugnant moral righteousness about it as they don their weakly scientifically supported mask virtue signal.

Meanwhile Trump is fucking not wearing a mask while Pelosi is acting like it's the end of the world, made me really think about the Liberals being full of shit.

Then add very weakly scientifically supported police brutality on there. No liberal has looked at the statistics yet theyre all over facebook and on the front lines of the protests.

Every white liberal getting their protest instagram selfies... then going back to life and forgetting about black people for another half century. Also, people are literally being shot at BLM defund the police protests?

Then NyTimes censoring Tom Cottons op ed? Wtf?

Liberals don't seem to care about science or accuracy or free speech or black people.

They just seem to be full of shit? Am I close?

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.

Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids (36). There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.

We did not consider the use of respirators in the community. Respirators are tight-fitting masks that can protect the wearer from fine particles (37) and should provide better protection against influenza virus exposures when properly worn because of higher filtration efficiency. However, respirators, such as N95 and P2 masks, work best when they are fit-tested, and these masks will be in limited supply during the next pandemic. These specialist devices should be reserved for use in healthcare settings or in special subpopulations such as immunocompromised persons in the community, first responders, and those performing other critical community functions, as supplies permit.

Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost 97% and medical masks 44%. This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. Further research is needed to inform the widespread use of cloth masks globally. However, as a precautionary measure, cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs, particularly in high-risk situations, and guidelines need to be updated.

Masks are the new reusable grocery bags -- filled with germs, bacteria and viruses being unwittingly carried around everywhere. And just like your underwear and pants don't prevent your farts from getting out, regular non-N95 masks don't prevent germs either. Though to be fair, if older people "feel" a bit safer, then I guess let them do whatever makes them feel safe. But companies exploiting this to sell masks is fraud and government enforcing this is just abusing power and scare mongering their citizen sheeps.

As soon as the press briefing is over all the media and politicians takeoff their masks. What looks to be happening is they are only wearing masks for the television...
