it absolutely helps with large particles/droplets. But supposedly this is spread by just sharing the air someone else is breathing with for a certain period of time, the longer the time the more viral load. That’s why social distancing is WAY more important than wearing a mask in which the air is barely filtered if at all.
Important for what exactly? The evidence that “social distancing” reduces the severity of a pandemic is surprisingly absent. The whole concept was only invented less than fifteen years ago.
I mean it’s pretty obvious that keeping your distance from someone whom is sick will prevent yourself from getting sick.
I’m not saying 6 ft or whatever number people wanna say, but just in general, especially if the virus is not a hand to mouth virus and more so aerosolized.
even if just to protect yourself from spreading the virus to those around you like family/friends/work and their families.
But there was never a claim that the spread of the virus would stop. It was two weeks to "slow the spread". Everyone, sooner or later, will come into contact with the virus. Some will die, most won't. What is the point of masks? If they work as you say they do (I don't believe they do), then you're just delaying the inevitable.
We need to bite the bullet and get this over with.
Nature periodically does a purge. That's not necessarily a bad thing, and there's nothing humans can do about it.
Unless it's an N95 mask, it's pointless. You go ahead and breathe through a filthy cloth which is collecting bacteria.
Edit: Apparently N95 isn't effective either. I read the studies on mask efficacy and neither surgical nor N95 masks had a measurable effect on viral spread.
you absolutely could inadvertently spread it and kill 100s of people in 1 second.
This is why people don't buy the crap being peddled by the "muh mask" crowd.
None the less we as a group of DJT supporters should just wear masks and let it go. It isn’t something we should draw a line in the sand over to make a political stand.
You're having a really difficult time grasping what the masks and the shutdown are REALLY all about, aren't you. I don't wear a mask not just because I don't believe they work, even though I don't. It's because it's a symbol of tyranny. Every time you strap one on, you're telling the Left, "We'll do whatever ridiculous thing you want...no questions asked."
Their dream is to see everyone walking around with the compliance flags on their face. Then when the Left demands another economic shutdown and exclusive fraud-by-mail "voting", they know everyone will go right along with it in the false name of safety.
No, wearing a cloth mask does not filter the actual virus in any way. Only respirator masks and above offer any actual protection.
Show me any doctor that is dealing with a virus that uses a cotton mask as protection.
Edit... Nice hyperbole about killing hundreds in a second
Thats the problem. Masks don't actually filter the sub micron sized virus particles.

There is evidence to suggest they can: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.0c03252
No there is zero evidence that a piece of cloth will filter any virus, ever.
Me: provides evidence

What is the link? I don't click on links that don't identify themselves easily.
It shows that any random cloth covering will ACTUALLY FILTER virus sized sub micron particles!?

remember it went from "flattening the curve" to where we are now...which is? I don't even fricken know anymore!

Unless its a tank of air that isn't exposed in anyway to the outside, it's pointless.
People have a REAL struggle with scale once things get very large or very small.
Viruses are on the small side, if you want to stop a virus from going through a material its going to be very difficult to also push air through.

Never, bud
It's a hoax
