“getting to the ridiculous claim that avoiding masks will slow spread by accelerating spread”
Doubt masks have ANY impact on the spread of the ChinaVirus, but it is NOT ridiculous to point out that spreading the virus among the young and healthy will cut off lines of transmission to the elderly and high risk. In the absence of a vaccine, that is the ONLY way to go back to normal!
“Cultures that normalized mask wearing beat COVID fast”
They did NOT put on masks and beat the problem. They did extensive testing, tracing and most are island nations with tightly controlled borders.
Meanwhile, Texas has a darn good track record with an open society.
Well, Texas had a good record.. until.their governor got freaked out by the press and ordered masks for the entire state. I wonder how that’s going to go over with Texans?
As for the medical usefulness, people who really fall for the hype and who believe in masks are welcome to wear them, because if they’re so effective, then presumably they’re effective in both directions and will prevent viruses from entering, right?
But of course they’re not effective, and everybody knows they’re just symbolic of your submission to the Dem-promoted hysteria.
In AZ doctors are freaking out {like they have never dealt with a mass casualty situation} because they may have to triage patients duo the lack resources to care for everyone.
