If masks are so effective..... if a person wears a mask.... shouldn’t they be protected from all the non-maskers? Asking for a friend
It’s my understanding that the mask is to knock down transmission distance and not so much to protect the wearer from breathing it in. I could be wrong but that’s my understandingIf masks are so effective..... if a person wears a mask.... shouldn’t they be protected from all the non-maskers? Asking for a friend
That’s the issue.....the only person that you can control in those situations is yourself..... you either have to set parameters to keep yourself safe..... figure out how to get high quality n95(which in theory helps) or find a different job to suit your safety concerns.......I have left several jobs over many different concerns.Wrong. Unless I quit my job. I have coworkers and clients that I have to be around who refuse to mask.
What Pollyanna world do y’all live in??
And, I think being pro life, pro gun and a conservative DQs me from being a dem.
Does anyone who's had it know how many they infected? Is that possible to even determine?
Do you wear yours to bed?That is the reason for everybody wearing them. Masks do a poor job of protecting the person wearing it from the person who is not. But they do a good job of protecting others from the person who is wearing one. So when you have the disease and do not wear a mask, you are spreading the disease. When you have the disease and are wearing a mask, other people are much less at risk from catching what you are carrying.
I don't know if your naïve or willfully ignorant.That’s the issue.....the only person that you can control in those situations is yourself..... you either have to set parameters to keep yourself safe..... figure out how to get high quality n95(which in theory helps) or find a different job to suit your safety concerns.......I have left several jobs over many different concerns.
This is not about concern for my personal safety.Serious question: Have you considered getting an N95 mask? Then, your risk of contracting a virus would decrease significantly and we could all live in harmony. I understand that you are concerned.
Sure, people are wearing mask. And people aren't. Every store in Knoxville and Maryville requires them, but guess what? That is ignored by a large percentage. So, if I wear a mask, I may protect you from my sneeze or cough, but it doesn't protect me from those not wearing masks. Why is that so hard to figure out. Would you like to participate in my experiment. All you have to do is stand there. I'll spit at you with a mask on and with it off, and see if you can tell the difference.People are wearing masks numb nuts..... and it’s still spreading like hell. Here in middle Tennessee every store you go into requires them..... and guess what.... it’s still spreading. Do they slow the spread? Probably ..... do they prevent it? No.
What doesn't he get? It's amazing we're still having this discussion 8 months later. Spit with a mask on. Spit with it off. Tell me if there's a difference. I know everyone has had the experience of having a conversation and someone's spit comes flying at you. WTF does it take for people to understand.It’s my understanding that the mask is to knock down transmission distance and not so much to protect the wearer from breathing it in.
