re: If masks work, why are cases rising?

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

If people wore masks, social distanced and avoided large gatherings then cases could be controlled. Plenty of other countries with strictly enforced mandates have proven this. But the dimwit so called adults in this country are too self entitled to be bothered with thinking of anyone but themselves.

People have been social distancing and wearing masks. Cases are increasing because the weather is getting colder and people are staying inside more often, getting less vitamin D.

I think there has to be some effectiveness to it because this is the least I have been sick since before college. I wear a mask in public, until i sit down to eat or drink. The public events i have been to, i wore a mask. I really only go to visit people who i know are doing the best they can to be safe. Also, i think working from home has helped keep illness away. The weird thing is i normally get bad sinus infections and i havent had one since February.

And evidence clearly shows countries that have strictly enforced mask wearing have seen cases go down.

2nd time I've read this in this thread.

Could you please provide which countries are being referenced with this statement?

bro, hey bro...
just give up every bit of your life you knew before and all your freedom bro.

we need to socially distance bro.
don't go to your granddads funeral bro.
don't go to your kids wedding bro.


bro trust me... we have to stop this virus that has a 99.98% survivability before we can let life return to normal.

you fricking mask wearing pussies. it doesn't work because it's aerosolized. how about i introduce some restrictions that will actually save lives? from now on none of you mask wearing fatties can eat processed sugars, drink sodas or eat high carb foods. that would definitely save more lives than the masks... SO WHY DON'T WE MANDATE IT?

fricking pathetic how people give up liberty at the first whiff of hardship.

I feel bad for people still wearing masks. It must be a sad existence to not be able to even walk into the store without a mask on

So some of y'all think the spike is from people not wearing mask in Wal-Mart. Makes sense.

We've gone from worrying about mortality to worrying about cases. It's actually less lethal due to our understand of it. So we should just stop with all of this bullshite and move on.

Don’t worry, Joe will get rid of the virus.

This is the better question.

Because wearing a mask is like putting up a fence to keep the mosquitoes out of your yard. If I can wear a mask and walk by a women in Walmart and smell her perfume instantly what are the odds a microscopic virus is being prevented from going in my respiratory system? ZERO, it’s an illusion of safety that the masses have bought into.
