re: Why is there so much emphasis on wearing masks?

Who is supposed to enforce these rules? I mean you have defunded the police.

I agree, but healthy people shouldn’t be forced to wear them

What data I've seen on masks suggests around a 10% improvement in chances if wearing an n95 mask. The piece of cotton most people are wearing doesn't significantly protect against spread at all. Also, there is no end game. There is no plan. There is no x,y,z conditions to be met. It's just "wear your mask!" That's not good enough. A speed limit can give quite a bit more hard data on why it's instituted and what it's supposed to ultimately accomplish, so I don't see the comparison.

Good argument.

“What data I've seen on masks suggests around a 10% improvement in chances if wearing an n95 mask. The piece of cotton most people are wearing doesn't significantly protect against spread at all.” But if you were going to have surgery even minor or dental you would probably insist upon a mask from all in the room! Plus, if I’m not mistaken, you are quoting statistics for the prevention of the mask wearer getting sick, not the bystander.

“Also, there is no end game. There is no plan. There is no x,y,z conditions to be met. It's just "wear your mask!" You sir, are correct.

“A speed limit can give quite a bit more hard data on why it's instituted and what it's supposed to ultimately accomplish, so I don't see the comparison.” I bet if you raised the speed limit on the interstate by 10mph, deaths would not rise the 10% you decry as insignificant. You don’t see the comparison because some laws you like and support, and others you don’t.

I strongly disagree and argue against seat belt laws. If I don’t wear it, it only affects myself and loved ones. Yet if I don’t click it, I get ticket. It’s the way law works.

Did I mention I hate wearing a mask. It’s not mandatory for me, yet! And I only wear it when I come within 20 feet of a person.

I’d hate to think that I might be in the early stages of infection, do a Sun sneeze, infect another person, who passes it onto and kills their grandmother. Even if it’s only an increased 0.1% chance!

I guess I don’t equate mask wearing as the same as taking the mark of the beast, or a threat to my 2nd Amendment rights. You’re welcome to disagree. But click it or ticket.

Because we have a severe mental illness problem in this country

you are just beginning to feel ill, forced into public despite feeling poorly, or beginning to feel better, you are a threat to others. But even if uninfected or asymptomatic, you caugh or sneeze several times a day. This carries the risk of unintended infection of others.

You may not agree with the posted speed limit on a road, but for the safety of others you should obey it if not yourself.

---

Why would you be forced into the public?
The average person coughs/sneezes less than 4 times a day* and most non nasty folks actually cover their mouth to do both. A mask is not required for this purpose.
Do you really go the speed limit? Or do you, like a normal person drive the speed of traffic?

*(national library or medicine article) In this study the daily number of sneezes and of nose blowing were recorded in diary-cards over a 14 day period by 80 hospital employees and medical students, who considered themselves not to suffer from rhinitis. The results showed that more than 95% of the normal persons sneezed and blew the nose less than 4 times a day, on average. It is concluded that it is normal to sneeze and blow the nose less than 4 times daily

I’m a huge blue supporter who believes BLM is racist and antifa is a terrorist organization!

I have not defunded the police. When did you stop beating your wife?

I’ll ask my question again in very concise terms. What scientific proof has been brought forth that a mask prevents the spread of Covid-19?

---

First. What scientific proof has been put forth that masks are 0% effective in prevention of spread.

Second. Sneezing and coughing expels viruses on spit or mucus droplets. The droplets dry mid air and the dry virus floats on air currents to the next victim. Any barrier that catches the droplets (even homemade cotton) prevents the spread. Now some masks are more effective than others. But it’s like taking a leak. It flys through the air with the greatest of ease, but blue jeans will stop its flight and perhaps keep your shoes dry. But even thin underwear decreases its flight range and your chances of hitting another.

Its conditioning.

It’s to numb you to masks and dehumanize your fellow citizens.

So when the violence starts you’ll either accept it or fight it but you surely won’t try and reason with it.

Soooo, your saying their is 0% chance no viruses are expelled in those 4 daily events? Or that your hand is more effective at catching fluid droplets that even the least effective cotton masks.

So when I speed, and I do, I shouldn’t expect a cop to give me a ticket? This is a sophomoric argument.

And oh, by the way, did I mention how much I hare wearing a mask?
