re: Why facemasks don't work

There articles that support both side's argument. So who is right?
This is the way I look at it. Its nothing more than a filter. You put it on so it can block or stop spit particles from traveling as far. Spit.. The put a piece of cloth in front of you face then spit again. Will it travel the same distance? No.
I don't understand how people don't realize this. There places that require you to wear one. Either put it on or don't go into that place.. I really don't get why it is such a big deal for people.
Do you bitch when you go somewhere in which you are required to wear certain close? Or if you normally wear a hat and then you have to go somewhere that doesn't allow people to wear hats?
God forbid you have to suffer even the slightest little inconveniences.

This is an article about dentist using tools in the mouth at 1000rpm creating aerosolized particles, not Joe Bob coughing on a doorknob before I use it.

What price do you put on a human life? Could you walk up to someone and tell them sorry, but you have to die so I don't have to wear a mask?

Masks prevent people from spreading the virus you can be asymptomatic or you can have it and the symptoms just haven't shown up yet. This is common knowledge now stop trying to refute
Empirical evidence does not back up your seat of the pants "common knowledge"

Accordingly, it should be no surprise that a study of eight brands of face masks found that they did not filter out 20-100% of particles varying in size from 0.1 to 4.0 microns. 21 Another investigation showed penetration ranges from 5-100% when masks were challenged with relatively large 1.0 micron particles. 29 A further study found that masks were incapable of filtering out 80-85% of particles varying in size from 0.3 to 2.0 microns. 30 A 2008 investigation identified the poor filtering performance of dental masks. 27 It should be concluded from these and similar studies that the filter material of face masks does not retain or filter out viruses or other submicron particles. 11,31 When this understanding is combined with the poor fit of masks, it is readily appreciated that neither the filter performance nor the facial fit characteristics of face masks qualify them as being devices which protect against respiratory infections.

I don’t think that’s my surgeons wear masks but please continue with your horrible logic

Even if they did work 100%.
This all doesn't stop until a certain percentage of population has an immune response to the virus.
At best, all masks do is delay infections. The ultimate number infected is unchanged.
The longer shite goes on, the more vulnerable ppl get infected and the higher the death toll goes.
Whether they "work" or not, masks equal more deaths.

Why wear a mask if the virus is a hoax? Not one single person died who wasn’t already living! It’s like the common cold, people die from car accidents but we still have car crashes.

Bottom line, face masks work. Are they perfect, no.
People are stupid.

If they worked, then hospitals wouldn't need N95s or face shields. My wife still has to wear a face shield around asymptotic, non-tested patients. People are sheep.

I never said mask were perfect. They do help to some extent. OSHA , CDC etc make healthcare works do a lot of workers do a lots of stupid unnecessary things. I spend my workdays in a damn clown suit, so I understand your point totally.
If you don’t want to wear a mask, by all means don’t, the faster this spreads the sooner it is over.
I wear my mask out in public as a courtesy to others. Any chance to avoid the spread of the virus I will take. It’s just good manners.
You do what you need to do. I really don’t care what you do.
