Just think about how many people pick their noses while driving then stop for gas, or how many cooks at your favorite restaurant have sweat drip off their nose into your food while preparing it, or the waitress that is talking spreading spit droplets into your food .

Watch how often people wearing masks touch them. Now tell us again about those doorknobs. Wash your hands and don't touch your face.

You need to buy yourself one of those boy in a bubble outfits. I have some alarming news for you, life comes with a modicum of risk. Even more alarming news, no one escapes it alive.

I am not afraid of germs, and I had the Covid in July. I worked in a few restaurants when I was in High School and I have seen how disgusting the can be. My friend got part of his skin on his thumb cut off while slicing turkey and the place refused to throw the turkey out...somebody ended up eating part of my friends thumb.

Big difference in the kind of masks! The M95 is the one that is effective and you cant get them. A face shield is even more security, the little designer mask that people are making are not that great. Why is it they can give out stimulus checks but not enough masks and make people wear them. Its not going to end without some support of the public and leadership.

I think you mean N95. Do you no longer need to breathe if you are wearing a face shield? Did you ever wonder why Fauci was adamant about social distancing and hand washing but dismissed the efficacy of masks? Did you ever think it might be because he knew early on it was airborne?

The person that gave me the Covid was not wearing the mask....if they wore one I probably wouldn't have caught it.

Wearing a mask helps prevent a person from SPREADING it if they are positive.

You are avoiding the question. You should consider a career in politics. Again, why did your mask fail to protect you?

The mask is not designed to protect a person from contracting it....it is designed to help a person from spreading it.

Do you think 100% of the air expelled by a sick person passes through the mask? Does the mask magically scrub all the virus out of the expelled air? I am still curious though. Why didn't the mask you were wearing prevent you from becoming infected?

Most likely because the person that gave it to me was positive and they got right in my face without wearing a mask. I wore a mask around my family because my girlfriend is on chemo and she never got it and nobody I was in contact with contracted it because I wore a mask.

99% of the people don’t wear or use them right so they are overall non-effective.

true, that's why the Covid will be around for years to come.

I have wore masks all my life here long before covid.-On my snowmachine when its 40 below-no big deal wearing a mask.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

LOL. Try forever Dart. By your logic if somehow we could force everyone in the world to wear a mask for a few weeks, voila, no more disease. All the doctors will need a new career. I would say it is more likely that members of your family got it and were asymptomatic.

Kansas cat, you’re missing the point. Masks are not foolproof. The point of the mask, as I previously stated, is to keep the virus from being projected away from you when breathing, sneezing, talking or coughing. Can the virus get through a mask? Yes. Does the mask disrupt the air current created by your lungs and slow it down, keeping it closer to you? Also yes. That’s the point. Without a mask, you sneeze and infect the guy 15 feet away. With a mask you sneeze and no virus reaches him because the mask blocked the air current from carrying it that far.

If you can’t understand that, then your brain doesn’t work.

Its a virus it aint going away. The vaccine will be maybe as effective as flu vaccine and likely as effective as a common cold or an AIDs vaccine. Quit worrying about it. You will get exposed at some point. Then it may kill you. It is very unlikely though. Chances are you wont even know you are infected. Most people are asymptomatic. Nothing being spouted as "keeping us safe " is.

Couple years it will be like Swine Flu, or SAR's or Zika virus. You won't h ear much about it anymore.

Dont get mouthy when you see me without a mask. It wont end well.
