What we first learned about masks is that cloth-type don't work well except for large expulsions such as a sneeze and even then the small stuff escapes.
Good points on proper usage.
Damn, I always thought it was my breath that caused the looks. Shit.Then there's this. I know I got burned a time or two when I saw what was behind the masks.
Ugly people are more likely to wear Covid face masks, study suggests
Researchers from South Korea reported that in a post-Covid world, people who consider themselves attractive are less inclined to wear a face mask in order to make a good first impression.www.dailymail.co.uk
I burped in my N95 once and nearly gagged.Then there's this. I know I got burned a time or two when I saw what was behind the masks.

It was a fairly significant inconvenience at first, but once I got used to it it became a minor one. Then there was the truly melodramatic who compared mask wearing to the plight of the Jews in WWII Nazi Germany. The whole politicised argument was ridiculous.
I don’t need to,multiple other people in this thread have already explained the obvious answer.
The cardboard cutouts were the best - I remember posting that the crowd looked "board".Watched the Iowa-Indiana replay from 2021 (@ Iowa) on BTN this morning. Reminded how effing stupid this whole thing was. Coaches (kinda) with masks on. Players with a seat in between them, some guys sitting in the third row. Cardboard cutouts in the crowd. Fake crowd noise. Guys with "Peace, Love, Equality" shirts on.
Just a complete, embarrassing, circle-jerk virtue signal fostered on us by the progressive left. Geeks and losers.
Old-school, unionized, blue collar Dems....please take the party back ASAP.
I always thought that was funny also because seems like every time a coach wanted to yell at a player they pulled their mask down and that would be the time you'd really need it if you were gonna wear one.Watched the Iowa-Indiana replay from 2021 (@ Iowa) on BTN this morning.

galactically stupid
Seriously do you believe that mask don't help at all? Not sure where you're coming from. To me common sense will tell you that will help some. This experiment tells me that they will help some. What I don't know is how big of a load of the virus do you have to get to become infected.
OHHH Seriously, well. Yes I said on here several time that I am sure there is some level of helping. Nothing can be a total zero. I question to what extent though. Heck even Fauxi has been video'd/ quoted saying that the don't work, until he said that they do before he said they don't again, then landed on yes mask up.
We do know that flu cases went down (when compared to previous years prior to covid) when people were masking. So obviously masks showed some benefit even though not 100% effective (which is why some people still got sick).
Joe, wearing mittens comes close to those advocating proper hand washing such as Dr. Will Sawyer. Dr. Sawyer in the link has in part this to say.
We have two very young grandkids. I'm so glad that our daughter and hubby is not afraid to let them get dirty. You are exactly right.... we can be too careful and never get immunity to anything. However on something new I do think the should err on the side of caution but listening to our politicians and Fauxi you wouldn't know what to do.... Mask don't help.... yes they do.... and so forth
Well we take risk every day.... I getting ready to go to the grocery store so I'm taking a risk driving there. I think there are two extreme sides to the mask issue.... one side acts as though they are nearly 100% effective and the other acts as though they don't help any and I think both are wrong. If I had to wear one all day at work I might just take my chances but even now if I'm going to the grocery store I'll probably wear one if I think to put it on, If I get out of the car and start in the store and realize that I forgot to put it on I won't go back and get it.
False dichotomy. Only one of those extreme positions actually exists.
Based on reality. If you think I'm wrong, show me all the people claiming masks stop disease with 100% effectiveness. As for people claiming they are useless, I only need direct you to the thread we are already in.
Uh no one got four vaccines in less that a year. But do bring us more nonsense Retweets.
I'd bet willing to bet that there is no one in this thread thinks they are completely useless but there are some that don't think they help much which is just their opinion. There were people also saying (Biden for one) that if you got the vaccine you wouldn't get the disease then there are others think that the vaccine is almost useless and the risk is greater than the reward.
That is true but we also make decisions based on is the reward worth the risk. I wasn't sure how effective masks were but I was willing to wear one if it even kept one person from getting covid. Too many people just don't give a $@%# about other people. It's all about Me Me Me.
I know but there are still people on both sides that push their opinion and act like you're nuts if you don't agree with them. Like I said before I think just common sense would tell you that masks help some. Just go out on a cold morning when you can see your breath and then put on a mask and you won't see your breath.... that tells you that the mask is blocking water droplets.
Well I was jsut thinking of how hard it is to type with mittens on. But yes I agree, we need to wash our hands. But please for the love of god, throw out all of this damn hand sanitizer. We need micro levels of exposure and we do infact need to get a little sick on occasion.
