Huge agreement. If people want to wear useless masks,
Our skin is a designed defense system.

The bubonic plague was spread by fleas. Covid19 is spread in water droplets in your breath. the difference is clear to see. Your argument is clearly flawed.
ok, I don't care
Does not work I still got guys asking me for money and old lady's asking for directions.but only for the purposes of not having idiots bother me in public when I'm trying to mind my own business.
There are all sorts of ways to make them useless. Here's one of the more common ones:
But at least it's approximately right.

Just because you had it and reacted that way does not mean everybody else does the same. You can also be a carrier of it and have no symptoms at all. It is not just a cold. It doesn't just kill the old or immune-suppressed either it has even killed healthy children.
Right now an online friends daughter, 37 has COVID and she has been ill for over a month and is still struggling to breathe. She says she literally stays with her all night to check that she is still breathing.
I agree that its useless for sterile environment or for hospital workers.
But the reason for wearing them in public, like in a public transport, is to limit the spread of the virus at least a little bit. If a talking foreign person standing next to you in a tram has a mask, almost all droplets are caught. If he is talking without a mask, it all lands on you, on your face, eyes, mouth.
Or imagine a sneezing person without and with a mask. How the mask lower the distance of spreading for people around him. Instead of infecting three in a row, he may infect only two, because of that.
Yes, I agree its not perfect, but that was never the point of the cloth masks.
Even though cloth masks can provide a little protection for the one wearing them, the main point is that it limits the infection spreading by limiting droplets from the person that is wearing it.I know you are arguing that face masks can be of benefit in public places but you begin by conceding they are useless in sterile enviroments. Please think carefully before conceding on such a point.
They are not "useless for sterile enviroments" - if a doctor is doing eye, nose, and throat examines and a patient coughes involuntarily, then it seems reasonable to me to think there is a risk of being exposed to a higher concentration of droplets because of close proximity. A mask would not protect the doctor completely but it would perhaps lessen the risk of high exposure. Surgeons and theatre staff mainly use them to absorb any spray from their mouth when talking during surgery, as they have to talk while operating. The logic of "not perfect, therefore useless" in this instance, is seriously badly flawed, and even dangerous. These attacks on the usefulness of facemasks is idiotic at best and at worst a highly dangerous trend. There's no big deal with wearing a mask on public transport, some people talk as if its the sign of the beast - in fact during an epidemic if in close quarters with people it makes a lot of sense. My only concern is shortages for frontline staff.
That is correct. My point was "they" are trying to stop us by forbidding our gatherings. The gates of hell can't stop the church

So we wear the cloth masks to protect others, not to protect us. We are protected by their masks and they are protected by our masks. Not 100%, but significantly.
I don't have a problem. I don't care to know what I don't care about at all. I'm unwatching this thread. Goodbye. everyone has done a tremendous job at irritating me so I don't care anymore to say anything. Any replies to me will be met with silence. I'll just let the "professional doctors" talk about this whole issue. I don't care. It's a bunch of nonsense to me. Everyone is already wearing surgical masks, might as well call them professional certified doctors because they sure do have an ego about what this nonsense virus is.
It's Jesus who builds the church. It's his, the church can't be stopped. The"gates of hell" from the text I believe means the enemies of God man or demonicWhat do you think the "gates of hell" means in that verse, and why can they not stop the church?
This mask stuff is nonsense. What is a piece of cloth going to do? Nothing. Reminds me of how ignorant people were when the bubonic plague killed half of Europe in 1347-51. What were the doctors wearing? Cloth gowns, yet they still got the plague because oh yea, a virus can go right through thin cloth.
They are completely useless no matter how they are being worn, with the possible exception of making the gullible feel like they are doing 'something'.
