I’m sure most who wear masks are afraid of catching it. And the healthy have no reason to wear a mask. If you are sick wear one when out or stay homeI see you always seem to ignore the (oft repeated in this thread) point that we don't wear a mask because we're afraid of getting the virus we wear it to try and prevent us unknowingly giving it to others. But I do understand why you do that, your narrative makes you "THE BRAVE HERO WHO IS STANDING UP FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!" (tm) instead of just someone who doesn't care if he makes others sick.
Sure I know, it's 100% more protective then someone who's not wearing one.
tulc(thought that was pretty obvious)
And it wasn't what you just said it was.

Of course people don't want to get it, but my people wearing the mask isn't because I'm afraid of getting it.I’m sure most who wear masks are afraid of catching it.
Unless they don't know they have it right? Because you can be infecting people and not even be aware of doing so.And the healthy have no reason to wear a mask.
By the time you're feeling sick (and some people never feel sick) you've probably been infectious for at least 5-6 days or even as long as two weeks before you see any symptoms that say "Hey, I'm sick, I should wear a mask." Meanwhile you didn't wear a mask you've infected a bunch of other people, some of whom aren't as lucky as you and they proceed to get very ill and some could actually die. So please, wear a mask and try not to kill other people.If you are sick wear one when out or stay home
tulc(hopes that helps)It's understandable if some people remain skeptical, since, at the beginning of the pandemic, public health officials in the U.S. said the general public didn't need masks. But that changed as it became clear that infected people can spread the coronavirus before they even show symptoms of COVID-19 or even if they never show symptoms.
Researchers emphasize there are two main reasons to wear masks. There's some evidence of protection for the wearer, but the stronger evidence is that masks protect others from catching an infection from the person wearing the mask. And infected people can spread the virus just by talking.
"If you're talking, when things are coming out of your mouth, they're coming out fast," says Linsey Marr, a researcher at Virginia Tech who studies the airborne transmission of viruses. "They're going to slam into the cloth mask. I think even a low-quality mask can block a lot of those droplets."
Marr points to a study published in Nature Medicine in April that looked at people infected with the flu and seasonal coronaviruses. It found that even loose-fitting surgical masks blocked almost all the contagious droplets the wearers breathed out and even also some infectious aerosols — tiny particles that can linger in the air.
Other recent studies offer indirect evidence for universal mask use, even if worn by people who are feeling healthy. One study, published in late May in BMJ Global Health, looked at people in households in Beijing where one person was confirmed to have COVID-19. At the time, explains study co-author Raina MacIntyre, research was already showing that the majority of transmission of the virus was happening inside households, and China already had a culture of mask wearing. The study found that in households where everyone was wearing a face mask indoors as a precaution before they knew anyone who lived there was sick, the risk of transmission was cut by 79%.
"The more people that were wearing a mask, the more protective it was," says MacIntyre, head of the biosecurity program at the Kirby Institute at the University of New South Wales in Australia. In other words, when everyone wore a mask, it protected the whole household.
So...you can't actually point to anything in the quote that doesn't support what I said? because that's what I asked you about. He was happy masks weren't required because people are tired of them. My question was how do you make that sound like someone supporting wearing masks? Because to me? That doesn't even sort of sound like that.And it wasn't what you just said it was.
Wow...we Democrats sound like AWFUL people! Good thing we have coffee and cookies here, otherwise I don't know what we'd do!(snip)
You do realize that the Democrats are trying to do away with anything that is American, free, and glorifies the rights and liberties that the veterans of your country fought for ... right?
I'm going to have to admit: I prefered it before they put all those dead guys faces on it:They even want to do away with Mount Rushmore..... I mean..... seriously... Half the people interviewd by one guy didn't even know what country it was in... but... it must go...
...and still no explanation of how what I said was wrong except for "nuh uh!"?Besides the fact that the quote didn't actually say what you claimed it did? That's quite enough. You're being absurd. Is English not your first language?
Are you wearing your goggles...covering your eyes to keep from getting the virus?
Just for the record, what is the protection factor of the mask you're wearing?
But the main question...are you wearing goggles?
You really can't see that "people are tired of wearing them" (which is what you said) is not the same as "masks will not be mandatory, people are fed up" (which is what he said)?...and still no explanation of how what I said was wrong except for "nuh uh!"?
tulc(understands at least that much English)
I see you always seem to ignore the (oft repeated in this thread) point that we don't wear a mask because we're afraid of getting the virus we wear it to try and prevent us unknowingly giving it to others.

tulc(thought that was pretty obvious)
Yes, he should have instead said, "people are fed up of wearing them," because that makes such a grand difference.You really can't see that "people are tired of wearing them" (which is what you said) is not the same as "masks will not be mandatory, people are fed up" (which is what he said)?
Nevertheless...it can still enter through your eye.Your eyes don't suck particles towards themselves, breath is drawn inwards and hence draws in particles that may be in the air. If you lie on the floor for a long period, looking upwards, without blinking, in a room full of people breathing and speaking, you might manage to equalise the risk.
Corona virus hysteria enters through your eye far more easily, though.Nevertheless...it can still enter through your eye.
Not all of them.. But the riots were predominantly in Democrat strong areas... and many democrat leaders were out there with them... while colored people burned out other colored peoples businesses and buildings as a protest of a very bad cop killing a colored man... Logic... where have you gone?Wow...we Democrats sound like AWFUL people! Good thing we have coffee and cookies here, otherwise I don't know what we'd do!
I'm a Canadian and even I know that those "dead guys" were honored with their images carved in rock as they founded the country that you live in and reap the benefits of all they did so you could be safe and free... Just say'n.I'm going to have to admit: I prefered it before they put all those dead guys faces on it:
Your larger point is well taken. As for the, "all the men whose images are being taken down.." part:..so you could be safe and free..
As are all the men whose images are being taken down...
The article in the OP talked about wearing goggles? Could you point out where that part is because I can't seem to find it in there. If you want to talk about wearing goggles shouldn't you start a thread where that can be discussed? This thread is about what's in the OP
I'd say it's about 100% more than the people who aren't wearing them.
Huh, it's pretty obvious you are more interested in discussing goggles than what this thread is about, so see my recommendation about starting a thread where you can discuss what you want to discuss instead.
tulc(seems like the easiest solution)
That's indeed very different from what he actually said, and if he had actually said that then it wouldn't have had to be fabricated.Yes, he should have instead said, "people are fed up of wearing them," because that makes such a grand difference.
