Face masks are actually the high-tech version of social (physical) distancing. That is the greatest reason for wearing them — and not as these “experts” are proclaiming, that they are not a substitute for social distancing. They are far superior to it.
The reason for maintaining a six foot distance from others is that in case someone sneezes, coughs, spits, or breathes rigorously (exercising) into the air — six feet may be enough space to protect against that fallout. Otherwise, there is nothing magical about six feet of distance protecting one from the “aura” or “vibes” from someone infected — or even if not.
Hopefully, one will be wise enough to avoid one sneezing or spitting on them — unlike a lot of doctors with Ph.D.s in epidemiology. If they do, there is protection regardless of who is wearing them, and even better if both do — because the important thing is not to breathe in the contaminated air from another’s lungs. That works because there is actual matter (material) between the two not allowing a straight shot into another’s respiratory system.
But some researchers have done tests to show that a vigorous expellation can travel as much as 20-30 feet, or whatever is the record for spitting. But if one is wearing a mask of any tangible construction, it won’t get through. Likewise, if I wanted to retaliate, my mask would prevent me from reaching them — and if we both are wearing one, it is the acknowledgement that any attempt to harm another in that manner — even if we wanted to, would be futile.
Apparently in the circles the Sturgeon General, CDC, and WHO matriculate in — they are in imminent danger of others sticking their fingers up their noses and mouths — after coming out of the restrooms, and so one should wash their hands vigorously, obsessively, and compulsively in case the other person didn’t — and that will make things even out — in their world of equal outcomes for everyone no matter what they do.
But that’s obviously not how the real world works — and that seems to be ignored with all their edicts — and then absurd rationalizations. There are actually many countries that have the virus under control — and the masks are primarily the reason for that success, because they are effective.
Meanwhile, we are all directed not to wear masks — so we can all get infected, and then Bill Gates will have a captive audience for the vaccine he intends to deliver in 2-3 years, or maybe never. Right after the anti-virus software.
I agree with what you’ve said.
But people shouldn’t drop their guard on social distancing just because of masks. Masks help but they are not 100%. And the CDC warned about getting overconfident because of masks and not social distancing.
We need to do both.
