Masked people can not pet my dog.
CHOOSE GREATNESS
It usually goes like this between Mask Wearer and I:
MW: Can I pet your dog.
I: Sorry sick people can't pet my dog.
MW: I'm not sick.
I: Then why are you wearing a mask.
MW: To stop the spread.
I: ...........
Bonus when there is a group of people and I let the non-masker pet my dog.
Similar conversation with my son yesterday:
Me: Why do I need to wear a mask
Him: To reduce the chance of spreading the virus to me
Me: But you're wearing a mask. Are you saying your mask doesn't stop the virus?
Him: uhhhhhhh.......
I see that strawman argument here all the time. I think the honest argument would be that each mask worn reduces the chances further. So if both of you are wearing a mask he's that much less likely to catch it.
Not saying I agree with it at all, but I can at least present / follow the logic clearly.
If neither mask filters out a virus then 0% chance of protection * 0% chance of protection is still = 0% chance of protection.
Recent study in I think the Lancet had patients cough 5 times into their mask. All virus was cultured on the exterior of the mask. None as in zero was cultured from the interior portion of the mask.
