Everything we’re doing is useless. If masks, social distancing, lockdowns, any of it worked, it wouldn’t still be spreading. They might, might work if the virus is contained in a small region, but the fucking thing’s in every corner of the world. You cannot possibly hope to stop or contain its spread now.
Especially when we are wearing masks just to virtue signal which is all it is now. 99% percent of us who wear them in stores stuff them back in our pockets after use and reuse them. We know it’s bullshit and they do too.
Fucking hilarious how every tool on the internet just HAS to show themselves wearing a mask from profile pics to live streaming themselves taking a shit. At this point it’s nothing more than a fashion statement.
Just a chin warmer for me and 80% of folks I see.
I got some neck gaiters to protect from sun and also to use when I need a mask to enter a store, rarely required here in Clay county Florida...but the funniest thing is my wife found an article that the gaiters and bandanas actually increase spread as they break down the droplets into smaller particles and cause them to disperse further than no face covering at all. I call that a win win, now I'm pro face covering and wear my super spreading gaiters or bandanas wherever I go.
Another thing is that when there's a situation in a hospital that warrants wearing a mask. It also warrants wearing gloves, glasses, and those yellow hospital gowns.
PPE has to work as a system and even if the stupid little disposable masks people wear were that effective, it's like having a screen door on a submarine without wearing the the rest of the PPE.
And then the scumbags just throw the mask on the ground instead of in the garbage so someone else has to dispose of it properly. Why would they do that if they cared about others not being exposed? It’s ridiculous!
I can't remember which video it was, but recently Tim Pool was saying maybe masks could eliminate the common cold. He's a good entry-level redpill, but my gosh he says some stupid ass shit sometimes.
Diseases are part of life. Even if masks could 100% guarantee I wouldn't get sick, I would much rather get a cold than wear a muzzle for the rest of my life.
I believe that the second wave is BECAUSE of mask wearing, as lower oxygen levels suppress the immune system (Dr. Mercola has several articles).
Now we are going to destroy the brains of children by forcing them to breath their own CO2 6 hours a day.
There is no second wave, just reporting past cases and deaths 1 ton2 months later. What's accurate is the masks don't work and actually compromise our immune systems
The immune system suppression makes sence if your not getting oxygen. Is there any scientific studys done about how oxygen is good or bad for you?? Seems very obvious to me that oxygen is good for you. I can hold my breath for about a minute and I feel terrible afterwards. I also get the same terrible feeling after wearing a mask for longer than a few minutes.
