No, we all do that too, along with wearing masks. It's a game of odds reduction. If you take Covid-19 seriously you will do all of those things because they none of them are much trouble and may well improve your chances.Am I the only person on this earth that understands 6 feet? Do not touch your face or mouth? Wash your hands/use sanitizer, and respect other peoples space?
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I asked. Why does this justify using meaningless data to claim that masks don't work?Because this mask thing is a hasty thrown together, half-baked cake.
There's been plenty of education about proper handwashing, and if you want people to wear their PPE properly, you have to get them to wear it in the first place. And I have seen a decent amount of information on proper PPE use, regardless.Mask, masks, masks, masks..... Not one person is going on a rampage over sanitation, or proper usage of PPE. Nope... it is all about that outward appearance of compliance.
CDC guidelines tell you to wash your mask after use (or dispose of it if it's not washable).But who is telling people how sick you can get from breathing in your own bacteria, and germs in an overly used, grossly contaminated mask? No one. Just wear that mask. How many people have had that same mask for weeks? They just throw in the center counsel of their car and put it on once they go to a store? What are they breathing in every time they put that petri dish back on their face?
So far, that's not what we've seen despite many states requiring masks any time you leave the house. Gut feelings are irrelevant.I think many people are going to get sick just because they believe 'throw it on and done'.
Well, when you live in a country that lacks basic ability to ramp up production of life-saving goods, a country that lacks the ability to address quick emergency needs you are pretty much stuck with the "less effective" (but still better than nothing) approach.
So the answer is to not bother with anything? Just let it all burn through our population like a Medieval city facing the "anger of God"?
So you have a lot of experience with proper PPE, obviously. What kind of mask do YOU wear out in public when you go to the store?
But I assume you DO wear a GOOD mask, right? You DO wear an N-95 or a respirator or something that is BETTER than a mere cloth mask, right?
So how did you get enough N-95's early on? Was it through your work doing whatever requires being fitted for a respirator?
Yeah, so are laws about jaywalking or curbing your dog.Come on man. You know that is not what I am suggesting. This entire mask thing is being pushed with no regard to who is going to be wearing them. Just wear that mask. It doesn't even matter if you get sick from it, you better comply. Just wear it or else.
It just seems very authoritarian to me.

The fact that this President hasn't met with Dr. Fauci since the beginning of June and that he has been conspicuous by his absence when Trump gives a briefing on the Pandemic speaks volumes as to how much he values the nation's foremost expert's advise!
Dr. Fauci has not been allowed to appear on CNN and MSNBC - members of the White House and Peter Navarro from the Trump Cabinet have been part of an orchestrated attempt to undermine the public's confidence in his medical opinions!
The problem is that the more the White House attempts to sideline Dr Fauci, the more the media and the healthcare community rush to his defense, because he possesses that rarest of all qualities in the Trump Administration - a willingness to "speak truth to power!"
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I asked. Why does this justify using meaningless data to claim that masks don't work?
Imagine if the POTUS failed to meet with the Pentagon for months while fighting a war with 129k killed in action?
Are you familiar with van der Waals forces and surface tension? If the virus is contained in droplets, it's going to stay there.Do you see those huge corridors that stop .3 microns concerning a virus that is .06 to .14 microns?

That's what I say about the President. Sorry, that was too good to pass on.This virus is more of a tool than a disease.
I've noticed that in this thread.Some things never change.
NEXT
So something is better than nothing.
Glad you wear something.
That would be what I expect from him.Imagine if the POTUS failed to meet with the Pentagon for months while fighting a war with 129k killed in action?
(Guess those 137,000+ dead Americans really were committed to hatin' on the economy! LOL! Hard-core Marxists no doubt.)
