LOL, we back on the face mask lunacy again?

Might as well tape a tampon to your forehead if you have no mask, they offer virtually the same protection from/for COVID.

Again a mask isn't intended to prevent you catching covid. It's intended to prevent you spreading covid.

Light a match, hold it 16" away and blow it out, simple. Now try that with a mask on

I was not aware that n95 was effective against silica dusts that are of the size that gets caught in lung tissue. Thought you guys wore a canister style respirator.

I don't wear a mask, most don't. However if someone wants to it doesn't cause me grief. Seems 80% of Japanese wear them in Japan. Lot a worn in China. Wasn't aware there was a shortage of n95.

It was almost impossible to get them during the pandemic. Canister mask are n95 and are used by very few because they require daily cleaning are are very uncomfortable when they are worn for long periods of time. Most use moldex N95 mask.

I'll keep you and others in your field in my prayers., I've known victims of silicosis/asbestosis hope you never become one. Stay safe

Does it help prevent the spread of COVID though.

Well gee. Spit in your hand. Now spit in your hand with a mask on. Make up your own mind.

Point is none of you Maga's will accept science or common sense. Kiddiesoc has you believing there was 700,000 cases of pediatric covid,do the math and it would mean upward of 1.5 million when you include adults. Then #1 it should be a ringing endorsement for vaccine and #2 all exits in or out of Knoxville would have been barricaded. Cause that's a lot of covid for a population of less than 900,000.

But carry on in ignorance

I'm not maga. Why the assumptions, I'm asking a legitimate question because I've not read the same answer from the same agencies supposedly looking out for us.

You can be skeptical and have an open mind. But I see by you throwing out blanket assumptions and making what could best be described as moronic comparisons to spit and virus which are as similar as small planetoid and the largest red giant stars in scale you obviously don't want to be taken seriously.............or you're just pushing an agenda just like the "magas" you complain about.

Thought we were talking present day. Pretty well proven that a mask won't keep you from getting an airborne disease but it will prevent you from spreading an airborne disease. So If someone is wearing a mask just think of it as doing your favor. And just so you know, that's why mask are worn in an operating room.

unhu. and how does that physics work in your head? Are the particles suddenly smaller when you are breathing them in so that they can get IN the mask they couldn't previously get OUT of?

you are getting worse and worse. the match one was somewhat better as it dealt with actual travel of AIR instead of a liquid.

The issue is you don't need to be able to blow out a candle at 16" to give someone else Covid. thats typically NOT how airborne transmission is worried about. The real concern is the "linger" factor. I know you aren't listening to an actual medical professional so I am sure you won't listen to a different type of professional, but pre-2020 the code for hospital air systems was to keep air moving to cut down on airborne transmission. Lots of fresh air, lots of air movement. slower/stagnant air is a better environment to keep most air borne diseases alive outside the body, which makes sense because they want to live in your lungs where its nice and warm. basically it was better to have a more "dense" exposure that went away quickly than it is to have less "dense" exposure that stuck around for a while.

the better analogy would be to wear a mask while walking through a smokey area. the smoke is the covid/airborne diseases. the mask doesn't stop you breathing it in, or someone else breathing it out. It may limit the initial spread distance, but the lingering part is the issue.

for what its worth, the code for hospital air quality hasn't really changed since 2020, except to include more UV lights/better filters which only helps with the linger factor, and not the initial spread.

But the vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting Covid nor does it stop you from spreading it. So why get it?

Faulty logic. I could put my hand 12 inches from my face and achieve that. A new study out of Norway that was peer reviewed shows that mask wearers are actually somewhat more likely to contract COVID.

Here is another showing that those stupid surgical masks and cloths masks are virtually useless in stopping aerosol particles from escaping from an infected person.

Study supports widespread use of better masks to curb COVID-19 indoors

Plus, we had over two dozen or so studies done before COVID that said masks were very ineffective against viruses. COVID didn't magically change that. Trust the science dude.

???? You could move your hand closer and blow out a match. Isn't that making it easier? But I don't think you will wear a mask and do that DUDE.

Look at the study I provided, science denier. The exhaled air that you have such a turn on for, simply redirects. Use your brain.
