Anti, shouldn't the burden of proof should be on you?

It is striking that a bunch of people with 5th grade educations (maybe a little more in some cases) are running around screaming that all these things that the experts think we should do to slow the spread of Covid are wrong. Let's see here...a doctor who has dedicated his/her career to how infectious diseases spread, and YOU who is spreading things around they read about on an internet site, or conjured up in your own head.

Whom should I trust?

I'm using "YOU" in the generic form here.

Here is how you test your mask to see if it works. You will need one 12pk of Blatz beer. 1 gallon of pickled eggs with onions. 1 loaf of bread. And 1 16oz bottle of yellow mustard. Make 12 egg mustard sandwiches. Consume 1 beer with each sandwich. 3 to 4 sandwiches with beer should do the trick. After consumption. Put your mask on. Wait for gas build up. Let them rip when it happens. If you can smell your fart. Your mask is useless. Pretty simple.

Studies have shown more covid spread through the eyes. The moist eyes will collect any airborne virus easier then through the mouth and nose.

When you wear a mask you touch your face more. Washing your hands frequently would be more effective.

I see almost NO cleaning of surfaces in public places since the mask was deemed our " Savior "

Maybe you should trust these folks ??

It is the association of American physicians and surgeons after all.....

I haven’t worn a mask since the “pandemic” started. Shouldn’t i be dead?

How does one spread the virus if they don't have it, mask or no mask.

I guess they think we should just assume we have it and wear a mask the rest of our lives.

More testing....More testing....more testing. Many positives had no idea they had it.

How dare you spew logic here?? Be gone!!!

Denial is not just a river in Egypt. So many people these days believe the ridiculous. Wear the mask so we can at least get a handle on the virus till the vaccine comes out. This is not the middle ages and we no longer burn witches.

Poor analogy. Fart when you have explosive diarrhea with no pants on. Now fart with explosive diarrhea with your pants on. Which one results in the greatest distance from your sphincter.

Wear your's. If they work then you'll be good to go.

No, no, the newest version of the "science' says the masks aren't to protect you, they are to protect everybody else.

At least I think that is the latest "science" being quoted by pro-maskers. The story changes so often it's hard to keep up.

So back to the question, if one does not have the virus, how can a mask stop one from spreading what one does not have?

Sounds like some dietary changes are in order....Suggest upping the fiber quite a bit.

I'm definitely not a "masker". That is, I wear one as rarely as I can and have been around a lot of people I know without masks and I'm comfortable with that. But that doesn't mean I believe masks are useless. Their effectiveness is limited but not completely useless.

If I have covid and the virus in the air I exhale, without a mask, my breath reaches out several feet in front of me. With a mask, that is reduced. I don't project the virus as far. It still goes through the mask but not as far away from me.

If we're together in the same room for a long time, breathing the same air, I'm sure the mask didn't do any of us any good. But for the 10 seconds I'm in contact with the UPS delivery guy, it probably makes a difference.

I'll wear one if it makes the UPS guy feel better. Why not get along?

Who says we don't burn witches?

Speak for yourself

I heard today our governor is going to close the state the 14th. You would think if it was a pandemic he would do it now not wait a week. Does he number will be up in a week? Or is it that he wants everyone to stay home over Christmas? I still say the entire this was dupped up, to justify mail in voting. But on a good note, there are way less cancer deaths, less flu deaths, less death in the US including the China flu deaths. Some of you act like if everyone ware a mask it would go away. You know why its on the main stream news full time? To convince you its a pandemic. It just does not add up.
