Why not four masks and twenty feet? Common sense says that would be better.
You meant "you're" I think.
And you're equating cross-contaminated , re-used masks with a fresh, clean kleenex. That's a fail.
And your "contaminated surface" spread has already been debunked by the W.H.O.
Why is it ridiculous and stupid?Probably for the same reason that semis are not rated to only carry 1,500 lbs, because it would be a ridiculously stupid idea.
True, scratch what I said, anything can spread through eyes, nose, mouth contact which is why you don't want to re-use masks because they are always cross-contaminated.Not when hands come in contact with it and move it to eyes or mouth/nose
Disposing like this?True, scratch what I said, anything can spread through eyes, nose, mouth contact which is why you don't want to re-use masks because they are always cross-contaminated.
As I stated earlier, the general public is NOT healthcare workers who dispose of their masks after each use. Re-using a mask is like re-using a handkerchief only worse, it has other people's germs on it not just yours.
Do you even read your own articles?
After spending a lot of time reading that opinionated NON-SCIENCE.
Sorry dude, not science.

face masks for a virus = worse idea ever
Philippines Coral Reef Covered With Face Masks – NewsWars
Yep.
It's in the scientific literature. By scientists. Guess how we know you aren't a scientist?
From one of the cites:
facemasks worn by infected persons are potentially an effective means of limiting the spread of influenz
"
And this:
Surgical masks worn by patients reduce aerosols shedding of virus.
And this:
In a study by Milton et al. [24], they have investigated the effects of using surgical masks in preventing the aerosols influenza transmission. The obtained results indicated that surgical masks had prevented the viral detection aerosols by 25-fold for the coarse aerosols, and 2.5-fold for the fine particles, hence, generally 3.4-fold reduction was reported for the exhaled aerosols.
Which means that masks can be useful in limiting spread of viruses. As experience has shown to be true. Would you like me to show you again? O.K.
States with lowest infection rates:
Hawaii 316
Vermont 333
Alaska 411
Oregon 544
Only Alaska lacks a mask mandate, among these.
...
Not so good states:
Tennessee 114,539
Utah 116,794
Rhode Island 120, 124
South Dakota 128,160
North Dakota 131,691
All these states except Rhode Island lack mask mandates.
Not just experimental evidence, but confirmation in a real epidemic.
That's how science works dude. That's how we know you aren't a real scientist. You don't have a clue about the way it works.
Nope. As you know, the research is meticulously cherry-picked to support that conclusion.
Guess what?? You are not a scientist either.
Links to the statements? Care to include them.
Or... you could just cover your mouth when you sneeze. Revolutionary idea!Wait a minute so what your saying is that if you cover your cough it will prevent phlegm from flying out of your mouth and contaminating a surface? Because that’s exactly what masks do.
Behold the basis for your PubMed evidence -> "expert opinion."
Your other ones use "research explanations" which are merely subjective and a dime a dozen. All worthless when it comes to real science which by definition "is observable".
Those aren't clinical trials.
Do you know what a double blind one is?
How would you like to receive a vaccine based on "expert opinion" instead of clinical trials evidence?
"Not political"? Prove that one! Do you know that their politics are?
But it's not supported by any science, and masking and social distancing, both of which are not supported by any real science, are largely why schools are closed. The logistics of keeping students 6 feet apart is impossible in some schools. But 3.2 feet is the recommendation from the WHO.Its an added safety precaution. Kind of like pressurized tank ratings are typically only half of what they can actually withstand. You’ll see this on anything that has a weight rating as well. It’s really not hard to see why these measures are implemented if you just try to think about it.
My thesis committee thought I was. My bachelor's degree is in microbiology. My Master's is in Systems, associated with biological interactions.

That might be the scariest thing I've read all day.
Not an excuse. Since you apparently are a scientist, please, re-run the same "studies" you posit are the gospel truth on masking, but examine the time period from October-December 2020 instead of March-May 2020. We'll wait while you compile the results....Sorry, that excuse won't work for you.
I've linked you to countless sets of data that you've completely ignored. The denial is real.I've linked you to numerous collections of research and now all you have left is denial.
We all get it. Your assumptions are refuted by not just a few research findings, but by many, many findings. This is why people who actually know what they are talking about, like Dr. Fauci, changed their opinion after the research was done.
