Covid 19 What ligering side effects are you having.

So here we go again about masks.

Masks do not protect the wearer.

That (or more correctly, the belief that masks are "supposed" to protect the wearer according to "science", but do not) is the single piece of mis-information that seems to propagate the most among the anti-maskers.

Masks help contain potentially infectious particles from leaving the wearer and landing on others.

Because this virus has a long incubation period, and because early symptoms can be difficult to associate with being infected, it's very possible for highly infectious people to walk around spreading the disease for up to a week.

By not wearing a mask when you are within 6 feet of others, you are not deciding for yourself whether you want to be protected, you are deciding for others whether they will be subjected to your bodily fluid if you happen to be infected and do not know it.


What I find particularly humorous (in a very sad way) are the often repeated anti-mask jokes that equate transmitting infected particles with farting. IE- if I can smell your fart through your jeans, then obviously a mask won't stop the virus.

A more realistic analogy would involve the actual droplets of feces from the person farting landing on your face.

Anyone think that's harmless?

In this case, the jeans actually do prevent that.
