mask have never been cited as being 100% effective
not everyone wears a mask
not everyone who does wear a mask, wears it correctly

Masks are not 100% effective and no expert has claimed so though studies indicate masks are beneficial. And data indicates most cases are the result of gatherings where no masks are worn... Restaurants, bars and family gatherings

Clearly we need to start wearing two masks.

I love that people openly brag on this board about not wearing masks, that the people who live in their town don't wear masks, etc, and then we get moronic threads like this

1) Masks aren't 100% effective.

2) Seems to me like less and less people are wearing masks.

Masks arent as effective as the liberal media want you to think. They just want to control you.

Because people aren't wearing the damn mask. Just look around when you go out.

Because it’s a virus. A virus. It is acting like a virus. The same morons telling us we can control a virus with masks, lockdowns and social distancing are telling us we can control the climate with confiscatory taxes, climate agreements and vegan diets.

I always wear mine on my chin to protest the stupidity. Countries that wear masks as part of their daily dress still have covid spreading.

I'm willing to bet over 50% of masks people use are actually helping spread the virus, rather than preventing anything due to the fact people don't wear them correctly, they aren't the N95, or they haven't been washed in a month or more.

Because dumbasses like you are not wearing masks in those countries. And evidence clearly shows countries that have strictly enforced mask wearing have seen cases go down.

And then they open up and the cases go back up. It's pointless because we can't stay shut down.

Once some of you realize that most of us will get the Rona, we can move on with our lives and let it run its course.

And when you do get it, you might be one of the unlucky ones who will die from it.

Because the vast majority of people wear them as chin diapers.

It's pretty unlikely for my age group but it's a risk I'm easily willing to take. Life is full of risks.

Hand washing is more important imo.

People that say it's because they are not being worn is just rubbish. You'd be hard pressed to find anywhere in the country that has been more religious about masks than King County and Seattle and cases are spiking here.

Masks may have situational benefits such as wearing them on public transit but they are not the answer.
