Sounds great. Now if you are positive or have symptoms wear it. The rest of us will go back to daily lives as usual

What data-point/metric/level/baseline signifies the pandemic is "over"? What is the SPECIFIC "goal"?

Zero cases

Wait. This was published today? Did we travel back in time or something because this isn’t exactly groundbreaking. I thought everyone knew the risk was substantially lower if two people in a room were wearing masks as opposed to only one.

Sadly, the majority here will argue this.

what kind of shitty authoritarian Karen are you?
they're unnecessary, it doesn't matter if they "work"
if you can't see that even the "official" numbers aren't even a little scary anymore, and this is a fricking stupid argument to have, then you're pushing an agenda. Or you're too proud to admit you're wrong, and took a political stance on this.

On the contrary, tigerskin has been steadfast in calm sensibility. We’ve disagreed on certain points over the course of this year, but seems a very logical poster.

This is actually saying the opposite of everyone needs to wear the mask
Only people that have bad genetics can pretend to have the mask do anything and wear one. Because one does as much as two.
The stupid arse lie was that both people needed to wear one because it would stop the person having it from giving it and stop the person without it getting it.
Its the same with just one person having a mask on according to this. Goes through all the shite the same way.
More lies from the coronabros

I think you missed the point. The CDC had previously been saying that masks are effective at preventing the wearer from transmissing the virus, but not having the virus transmitted to him. This was of course obvious nonsense, but people are stupid and are sheep, and so they accepted it as fact for focking 8 months.
Now that we know the filtering effect is equal in both directions -- or, rather, now that the sheep now as well --there isn't much of an argument for mask mandates. Because if I don't care about getting the virus, and you do, you can just wear a mask and you're good. Me wearing one as well, would be like your girlfriend having an IUD and still making you frick with a rubber.

supporting the mask/lockdown idea is not sensible nor logical.

So, essentially, require masks --> more people go out --> more cases. Yet, somehow masks work?

Lumping one in with the other isn’t either. I don’t support lockdown. I want everything wide open. I also believe it could have already come to fruition if people weren’t so stupid.

Its more like
Virus doesnt give a shite about masks > masks dont work

Regardless of the philosophy, isn’t it common fricking sense that if it stops something from getting out, it would stop it from getting in?
It’s like saying if you are inside your house with your front door shut, that from the inside you can walk through the door, but if you’re outside, you can’t walk through the door.

Bull shite.
Every time I go out downtown no one has a mask.
A lot of restaurants have signs saying “if you aren’t wearing a mask we will assume you have a medical condition”
Compliance gets even worse going out to more rural locales.
In the metro area where I live, mask use is pretty universal, at least indoors. Everyone wearing in indoor settings and outdoor events where people are present. Been that way for months, yet it hasn't moved the needle. At all. We are underperforming places like Florida (which eliminated mandates) on the virus.
I once thought mask use would be a big difference maker on this. But it just hasn't happened. Just look at what is going on in Europe.
