How about, wear a mask because it is working in countries like Taiwan, Korea, and Japan.
If one is wearing a mask . . why six foot distance?
If one is six feet away , , , why wear a mask?
Where is airborne data?
We know several folks who are required to ‘mask up’ at work. No extra breaks to get some unrestricted O2. All of them agree it makes work a LOT more difficult. I feel bad for them but, they need their jobs.
Of course not. ‘They’ will claim you don’t care if you cause granny to die. :-)
Notice the rioters masks don’t stop the huge tear gas droplets?
Think of how easily a Virus riding on a tiny droplet gets through.
Masks are dangerous for healthy people.
I copied the title from the Youtube post. This is supposed to help prevent duplicate posts - we’d all be using the same title.
Our government(s) lie to us on a daily basis. The lies about masks are just more examples of their insidious lying.

Your degrees are impressive enough, but are not scientifically based.
Let’s talk physics.
CCP virus particle size is 0.125 microns, or 1/8th of one millionth of a meter. The virus is an aerosol, not merely a fomite or droplet - which masks do help in stopping. See that huge gap between the sides of your nose and your cheeks? Is it smaller than a micron???? Hell no it’s not.
CCP virus is known - and proven - to attach to ACE2receptors in ocular tissues, initially presenting as conjunctivitis. Along with your mask, are you wearing swim goggles? Ignorance or hypocrisy, take your pick.
I’ve used this example frequently, but you Karen’s still don’t get it:
1. Put on your mask of choice - even an N95.
2. Peel an orange.
3. Did you smell the orange? (Yes, you did.)
4. Congratulations, your mask failed to stop an aerosol particle larger than CCP virus.
This is more about virtue signaling submission than actual science. And you, specifically with your ties to China should understand this quite well. My family in Shanghai and Zhenjiang wear theirs daily only because the CCP and WuJing will punish them if they do not.
Stop trying to bring Chinese style submission to America.
Oh - the only respiratory protection allowed in labs handling this virus are supplied air with full face and body protection. That is why so many healthcare workers become infected, as N95s allow viral passage.
Everything about the government’s response to the pandemic is a viral load of crapola.

Good question, and one that I have yet to find an authoritative answer for.
One of the dilemmas is competing and overlapping authorities - who is right? The “experts” are saying different contradictory things, even in the same day. So who to believe? Plus they make statements asserting something only to take some of all of it back via disclaimers. So who to trust?
Legally, the ADA wields a fairly big stick. But I have not found any guidance on statutes governing face shields and masks that deal specifically with NOT wearing them. It’s unplowed ground as far as I can tell.
I too have lung damage, in my case due to smoke inhalation, which occasionally triggers a rasping cough. I literally cannot breathe and function with a mask on.
So I will not wear one.
Right. I meant that the source article has the wrong headline, not that you pasted the wrong headline.
My point is that just about every article these days has a headline that is amped up so much for clicks that it no longer accurately reflects the article.
If this article actually featured some evidence that face masks don’t work, the headline probably would have been “Why wearing a mask will make your head fall off.”
This.
how about 12 hr shifts, required to wear the mask all day long?...
do you think I can sue for reparations after all this is done?
My favorite personally-known medical resource person (who is not my doctor, BTW) has set up what is for her family a sufficient compromise. When necessary to interact with strangers (e.g. in a store) they wear Cambridge Mask which is pretty much an everything-filter, except that they ordered the masks back in March and now the masks are so backordered that by the time you could get one the situation will probably be over. Otherwise, outside, at church, and at home, no mask.
It boggles my mind that people continue with magical thinking that an improvised or other face mask will do anything to prevent a viral infection
You’ll have to forgive me, since my initial reaction to the picture was, “If you want to shoot, shoot, don’t talk!”
Any elected official compelling you to wear a mask should be arrested and jailed for medical malpractice.
Until that happens, print, cut to size and laminate (optional) this card to present to the employee or manager or owner of a business (if confronted) and simply telling them you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing a mask. Offer the card if simply stating you have a medical condition doesn't suffice. Don't offer up your medical condition. It's illegal for them to ask for it under ADA and HIPAA.

I have plans for a new calling card based upon Paladin's stating “Have Gun Will Shop” but we are not quite far enough down the tyranny road yet.
I think that, among other things, it demonstrates that technology changes but humans stay the same. The masses are reacting to COVID-19 in the same ways, and in similar percentages, as the masses reacted to the Plague of Justinian and the Black Death and later iterations of bubonic plague. In the latter, the rich quarantined, the common people did what they were told regardless of whether it worked or not, fanatics rioted, and the few people who knew what worked but didn't always know why (e.g. Nostradamus using rose hips, HCO/zpak/zinc today) were ridiculed by the supposedly knowledgeable--and a significant minority decided to go all-out decadent because "we're all going to die anyway."
