This idea that your mask works only in tandem with everybody else’s mask is a communistic idea straight out of the Borg hive mind, and shame on you for being such a drone that you buy into that. That was never a realistic notion, and it’s evidence of how easy it is for someone to rob you of your love of freedom.

It’s so bad that the roads are covered with morons driving alone with masks on.

The only way to put an end to the Mask Nazis is for President Trump to announce they are bunk, and order all Federal government agencies to cease and desist with this garbage.

Once that is accomplished, freedom will break like a wave on rocks.

People running errands aren’t going to take the mask off between stops.

Yes, they will be seen in cars while wearing masks.

It’s time to stop giving the stink-eye, or worse, a piece of your Karen mind, to people who aren’t impressed with your Mask Virtue...

In the past few weeks, I increasingly see on social media that spiteful, malicious or catty women are referred to as "Karen." Where does that come from? Is there a villain in some TV show or movie named Karen?

Those of us who refuse to live our lives in fear, or to bow to those who do, have a message for the rest of you

Imagine being so insecure you think wearing a mask makes you look weak.

‘The only way to put an end to the Mask Nazis is for President Trump to announce they are bunk’

since his primary health advisors are the ones pushing the mask fascism, that would be too little, too late...the time to announce that was in April...

This is why I resent wearing a face mask and only wear one when required - inside grocery stores, etc.

Are Face Masks Effective Against COVID-19?

The Cleveland Clinic says that gloves do not provide immunity from viruses, and it doesn't permit you to touch everything within reach. Furthermore, germs that come in contact with your gloves could be transferred to all the other surfaces you touch.

Now, even face masks face the same critique as Dr. Blaylock says that exhaled viruses would not be given a chance to escape if wearing a mask. He says that the virus would further concentrate and circulate within the nasal passages and could eventually travel into the brain.

According to Dr. Blaylock, there have been no studies conducted to establish that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has an impact on the transmission of the coronavirus. It was not until recently that the Commission on Disease Control and Prevention changed its guidelines for wearing face masks.

"The virus...between 0.06 and 0.14 microns...

The pores on an N95 mask...are 0.3 microns...doctors and nurses...need a steady supply of them...
"

"Would you buy that for a quarter?" Hahr, hahr, yuk, yuk! Them smart people is so dumb! ;D

The response to 19 demonstrates the completeness of the feminization of our culture. Period.

My wife and I found a nearby Audubon that is now open for hiking, then I read that hikers require a mask!

Can't infect the birdies and chipmunks I guess.

The only places I wear a mask are businesses with signs on the door requiring or requesting that customers wear masks. When I’m finished shopping, the mask comes off the second I’m out the door.

No, no. See, when Trump says the masks are mandatory, and that everybody MUST wear a mask, THEN the democrats will refute his statement and 1/2 the country will will refuse to wear any at all.
The rest, who are Trump supporters, will know they don’t need to wear a mask through real research and real articles of effectiveness and transfer coefficients of hand-face-to eye transmissions, and will not wear masks anyway.

I will say it again and use small words.

I hate masks.

That being said, the masks do not protect you. They protect others FROM you.

The COVID-19 is not airborne, it is spread by droplets. Masks are sufficient to slow the flinging of droplets.

Many of the arguments against mask refer to people not using them correctly. By this argument cars should be outlawed because some people don’t use them correctly.

My stupid Ooopma Loompa of a Governor has been given almost unlimited power by our idiot legislature. She can keep our state locked down as long as she likes. She is not up for re-election until 2022 and the Democrat legislature will never impeach her.

She has said repeatedly that she will keep us locked down until she is satisfied we are complying.

My business, my life, my livelihood depend on businesses being open, on schools being open, on events happening, on sport teams playing. Wuhan Lujan - through her tyranny - continues to strangle our state and my company. At 58 years old I cannot start over from scratch.

Wear the stupid mask when you go to the store. The life - and business - you save may not be your own.

If your mask is to protect you from me, why do I need one?

No matter how you look at it, if you're wearing a mask I don't need one.

Any narrow minded ninny wearing a mask to protect themselves from the virus should also be wearing gloves.

Guess what you should not do? Touch your face. Getting your contaminated hands near your face is exactly what you do when raising and lowering/removing your mask.

Some people should just stay home...wearing their mask.

“The mask is not an adequate defense against the COVID-19 virus, gang. The virus checks in at somewhere between 0.06 and 0.14 microns, meaning it’s too small for any commercially available mask to effectively filter it out. The pores on an N95 mask, which are the best masks you’re reasonably going to find, and the vast, vast majority of you are not going to have N95 masks but rather cloth masks which perform far less well, are 0.3 microns.”

Wrong. Why?? Because we are not talking about the need to filter “virus particles”. Bare virus particles simply don’t exist in the particulate emissions from sneezes, coughts, speech, or breathing. Those emissions are basically water drops with various concentrations of salt and other chemicals from the human system, and far larger than the quoted 0.14 micron size quoted.

See the valves on some of those masks? Do you know what they are and what they are for? They’re for morons who hate people for wearing masks.

;D

The author of the article is a science idiot (except perhaps for social sciences) who knows little about the laws of physics and nothing about "Brownian Motion."
