They’re going to have your test come back positive whether you have it or not so there’s no point in getting tested.

I'm not saying to not wear them. I wear one when it is required for the same reason you stated.

But see my edit to my post and it will show they are very ineffective. It's just to make people "feel" safe. When in reality. It doesn't do anything except cut down of the spread of large water droplets.

The bottom line is the virus is nowhere near as bad as we were initially told and there has to be a middle ground on how to fight it. Protect vulnerable people, practice social distance protocols, use good hygiene, etc. But the all or nothing narrative that has invaded the psyche of the public is crazy.

They may not work but help spread the virus through improper wearing, wearing dirty masks, and increased face touching.


This is such a retarded argument to not wear masks You will never find a study that shows wearing masks in any way increases spread.

There is something wrong with you morons who can only imagine two possibilities, 100% effective or 0% effective.

Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. Further research is needed to inform the widespread use of cloth masks globally. However, as a precautionary measure, cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs, particularly in high-risk situations, and guidelines need to be updated.

Even if this is true, this is an entirely different thing than "masks spread covid."

Pretty cringe for him to add this while not proving what he thought he did.

some of you people on this board are stupid. masks HELP prevent spread of the virus, they are not 100% fool proof though. Also the potential for fomites from that person by their normal day to day actions is also very high. If you test positive stay your arse home.

Interesting how many bites you got on this despite posting a picture that clearly indicates you're trolling.

It’s weird. Almost like they help but don’t fully fix the problem and if you are known contagious we should go the extra step but let the rest of us have some freedom with minor precautions in case we are sick and it’s unknown.

It seems that many of you can’t grasp the concept that masks are about minimizing risk to a certain degree. Nobody said that they completely stop the spread. They can lower the rate of spread if all parties are wearing them. These “gotcha” posts are so stupid.

The boat is one of the worst ones who went full alt right, borderline incel after Trump was elected.

The 2016 election absolutely destroyed a lot of formerly great posters.
