When it says “’It’s likely” it is BS.

So they think we should all have to wear f***ing masks for the rest of our lives now?

study suggests: Severity of coronavirus infection may be determined by face mask use, study suggests!

No real scientific evidence just a suggestion.

AKA more B$ posing as science.

Not a controlled study, sounds more like conjecture. Could it be that the milder infection s experienced in the Argentinian situation was due to the large particle trapping of the masks from those with the virus as opposed to preventing the receipt thereof?

Hardly conclusive, or even persuasive. There’s Just not enough unequivocal data.

Common sense though says that a mask will help protect you in crowded places with lots of traffic- where the virus may be in the air. And will help protect others if one is infected and can’t avoid going out.

Use your heads people.

It’s like it’s one big experiment from the beginning of release to now. Who gave it to China?

I am theorizing. Lol

Common Sense doesn’t perceive how incredibly TINY virus aerosols are. And those of us with no symptoms are NOT pumping viruses out anyways!

Common sense can be used when we don’t have scientific evidence. Regarding surgical masks, it would be incredible that by 2020 it would not be known to science whether or not they helped lessen the spread or severity of viral pandemics. It seems a lot of good science regarding the Sars-cov2/Covid-19 pandemic is being held back from the public. The Democrats want to keep us ignorant and clutching at straws.

Eventually coronavirus traveled to nearly every country on the planet but China got it right off the bat.

“The more virus you get”

Gee, how much virus is enough? Isn’t a virus so small you cannot see it? We don’t measure virus in Tonnage do we?

Good grief, you’d have to be an imbecile to believe this crap, but every day I see loon in cars...by THEMSELVES driving with masks on...”to keep them safe”. Meanwhile, the same idiot is texting and driving while drinking coffee and eating powdered donuts!

Argh!!!

“The more virus you get into your body, the [sicker] you are likely to get.”.

I think though that you are also more likely to have immunity after such an episode. Whereas those who had only a mild case are probably more likely to contacting the virus again.

Well, there are particles in the air. Just look at surfaces in your home when you dust!
You’d have to explain to me why you think covid won’t get on those particles...

Actually I’m not a fan of masks, especially the non-n95 ones. I can easily avoid situations that my intelligence tells me they would be useful.

I do take my shoes off after visiting a place with moderate traffic so I don’t track germs and such into my home. Not a popular meme, but my intelligence respects gravity more than memes.
