It means you've gotta wear it on your chin, like a beard mask.

It means do what I say, don’t question it, and let me order you to do something.

The Karens will be here to tell you, "Just wear the damn mask or the same idiots telling us these things, will threaten us again".

Reduce means slow down

Stop means completely halt


It means that while it does not completely stop it it reduces it.

Why is that statement hard to understand? Are you not a smart man?

Maybe shes saying people are nasty arse mf's so there is no way to stop the spread. But since sick or exposed people are refusing to stay home and wont quit coughing and spreading their shite, a mask might be the best hope to get those nasty selfish mf's to quit spreading it.

Reducing the virus causes more harm than good. Stop trying to outrun a virus that kills so few. Stop trying to stave off herd immunity.

Masks do not help. They will not slow the spread of the virus and there is no data to say otherwise.

Watch the numbers in two weeks. They will remain about the same as they are now.

SWB is another empty suit Black Democrat. That's all. I don't even have expectations for Black Dems.

Assuming you dictated that correctly what do you not understand?

Do you not recognize the difference between stop and reduce?

Well she's right. It won't stop the spread completely, but the current mandates from organizations is that it makes it less likely to spread.

With this being July 4th weekend, we'd be lucky if it stays about the same.

Masks don't reduce anything if not worn properly. Shouldn't the mandate be followed by "proper use"?

And they's blame the numbers in 2 weeks on the 4th of July BBQ's and gathering in large groups. This cycle is relentless and folks are way passed tired of this shite.

Pretty basic stuff. Not sure how anyone can’t follow this line of logic. I’d have to think people are being willfully ignorant here

So it’s not 100% effective but helpful still is what I read there.

Or are we going with “don’t stop spread” as zero impact instead of the easy interpretation of fully stopping it 100%
