Virions are smaller than the size of particulates that an N95 mask will filter out. And yet every time I've had surgery, all medical personnel in the operating room are wearing masks to reduce the risk of exposing the patient to germs they might have. After all, they work in a hospital and are constantly exposed to a myriad number of bacteria or viruses. But shutting down the economy works for me. It's actually helping me It's not helping you at all, dude. Printing money out of thin air is not a good thing. Virions are considerably smaller than the particulate size that masks are rated for. Masks will not stop a virus. So you're saying that if I earn money after this is over that it's not helping me? I'll let my bank account decide that and not you. You're just another jealous person. I also said "me". I don't have the ability to print money just like people like you who don't have the ability to wear a mask. As you say, it doesn't help. You don't like America, do you?

Germs that were on the exterior of your mask are now on your hands. You've stopped nothing. You're still inhaling viruses into your body since the pores of the mask are larger than viruses are. You've stopped nothing. Stop fear mongering and just let your immune system do its thing. Get some fresh air and let sunlight exposure do its thing.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	Masks don't do anything to protect the person wearing them. An infected person, is less able to spray the virus on other people, and surfaces. It's not just coughing or sneezing, most people spray a little when talking. A few rare people, it's quite obvious... With some people, they don't feel very sick, but are still infected, and can still infect others. Hard to tell. This whole response, is to treat everybody, as if they are infected, and spread this 'deadly' disease. Quarantine, is to separate the sick people, from going out and infecting the healthy. We are all quarantined, regardless of health or risk. Sort of a 'brute force' approach. Pretty stupid plan, from people, who should be smarter than that. Might have been effective, to some degree, if we only had a single point of origin. We literally had a couple hundred thousand, potentially infected travelers flying in, daily, for over a month, spread out all over the country. Test and trace is BS too. How do they expect every person that test positive, to produce a complete, and accurate contact list, for the previous 3 weeks? Just weekly grocery shopping, I come close enough to people I've never seen before, probably never see again, seldom reason to remember any useful information. Maybe the government has a GPS thing going with cell phones... I've never had cell service, but do have a phone, for one of my drones, no sim card though.

Maybe his line of reasoning is (operating under the assumptions that all droplets/nuclei containing the virus are larger than 300nm, that the virus is "trapped" inside of the droplet upon making impact with the mask, that viruses are "dead upon arrival" in open air, and that ~95% = 100%) that if you can stop the droplet, then you can stop the virus?

As though it can live forever on the mask. The bolded part was added by you. The context of the "touch the mask and get the virus" comment was in response to your claim that masks somehow prevent hand to face transfer if you wash your hands before removing the mask. My point was that, after you wash your hands, you are then touching the mask (which could have the virus on it at the time you touch it), and then you touch your face with your hands afterwards. You are stopping nothing. This whole off-shoot from the main discussion is rather pointless anyway, since masks do not stop a person from breathing in viruses. tmiddles wrote: Into the Night wrote: ...The Mayo clinic ... is spreading misinformation. bold claim!

The N95 specification.. This?: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/personal-protective-equipment-infection-control/n95-respirators-and-surgical-masks-face-masks It appears that the specs (~95% of larger than 300nm) are correctly listed in this article. Did you happen to read through it by any chance? What's your thought on this little nugget from it? The 'N95' designation means that when subjected to careful testing, the respirator blocks at least 95 percent of very small (0.3 micron) test particles. If properly fitted, the filtration capabilities of N95 respirators exceed those of face masks. However, even a properly fitted N95 respirator does not completely eliminate the risk of illness or death. Now, I'd even go beyond the particular language of "does not completely eliminate", but here the FDA is even admitting that a "properly fitted N95 mask" will not stop a virus. tmiddles wrote: gfm7175 wrote: tmiddles wrote: What do either of you base your opinion that face masks do nothing on?

Look up, 'Black Talon' ammunition... Teflon coated bullets, that can easily penetrate bullet-proof vests. There are others, that sometimes get through as well. Sort of like wearing a seat belt in your car, will prevent/reduce injury in some accidents, but often don't make a whole lot of difference. That's why airbags are also required... And yet, people still get seriously injured, and die in car accidents.

Dragon Skin is a form of body armor that attempted to bridge the law enforcement and military gaps, i.e. be used in both SWAT, DEA and military operations. Sure, it was good at protecting against more than just pistols, but once it took a hit from a round, it became "damaged" in that spot and needed to be repaired before being used again.

Because it's never 100% but that doesn't mean there is no point in doing it. Doctors actually said to wear no PPE, personal protective clothing because it doesn't help. They emphasized this because THEY need it to protect themselves with. Kind of why many of us are now wearing masks. Someone actually started asking why do doctors and nurses need PPE when people who are getting sick don't need it? I keep emphasizing this one point tmiddles. Sweden is an example of safe practices while keeping businesses open and keeping the economy going. And Harvey55 says he can't support something like that because he's not afraid of getting sick so fück everyone else. You seem to share his same attitude. Doctors in the US helped to create the problem by looking out for themselves. The massive number of media reports shows they were only concerned about themselves becoming infected and not the general population. Kind of why I think living in the US sucks. It's not about the life we have but it is about how good we want to think we are. And at the end of the day, the US needs it's Rock Stars like climate change scientists, doctors, pregnant teen mothers, etc to think about their own life. Welcome to Rome my friend. AD 200 and counting.

So public policy should be that seat belts are to be worn while driving (as I see it at least). The exact same situation plays out for the policies aimed at slowing the spread of a virus (the "flatten the curve" we hear so much about). Do they work 100% of the time? Nope Are they effective?
