Neither do lockdowns.

Here's how it went in my town:

First we had a lockdown for a month. A month?!? Weren't other cities doing 2 weeks? Mayor said tough shit, we're doing a month.

Positive cases reaches the low 100's for the entire state, then falls. Lockdown lifted.

Then the mayor said you must wear a mask if you go inside a building. He and the governor start fighting because the governor doesn't mandate masks in state buildings.

A month after mask mandate, cases start rising. Why? I thought masks stopped the spread. Mayor orders another month-long lockdown, and illegally stops allowing the public to attend city assembly meetings because all the testimony is in opposition. So now people start protesting outside the building during the assembly meetings. Restaurants start defying the lockdown and the mayor responds by fining them hundreds of dollars every day they're open. Customers and well-wishers start donating to cover the fines, so the mayor keeps raising the fines and cutting off utilities. The rebel restaurants knuckle under.

Positive cases plateau, the mayor lifts the lockdown on bars and restaurants. Many couldn't survive the second lockdown and are permanently gone. The assembly meetings are opened up to the public again. But mask mandate remains.

New positive cases skyrocket to all-time highs, despite 2 lockdowns and mandatory masks since June.

No new lockdowns in the face of rising cases. Maybe the idiots running the city have learned?

I never thought they did much. Maybe a little if someone sneezes, coughs, talks loud, etc, it might stop the direct splatter.

We got a report from our kids school district last week. I don’t usually read that stuff but this one was interesting.

Over 20k students + staff
1,101 of them quarantined for direct exposure
9 of those quarantined tested positive
3 of those weren’t exposed outside of school


I looked at that and thought “shit this virus is a non issue”

The majority of comments are about how well the masks worked.

Meh, they probably do stop a percentage of transmission.

Don't care.  Were all going to get it eventually. Let your immune system do its job and develop the antibodies and get over it.

If Americans would quit mask shaming and start fat shaming, that would actually go a lot further towards reducing fatalities because being a fatass and all the illnesses associated with being a fatass is the primary cause of corona deaths. The other top 2 killers of Americans, heart disease and cancer are also heavily associated with obesity.

Masks keep you from spreading germs willy-nilly, masks kind of prevent inhaling transmission of large particulate matter and slightly against small particulate matter, same goes with face shields, hand washing, wiping shit down, social distancing, blah blah blah.  They work to an extent if everyone does it and everyone knows everyone's not doing it so it's a feeble directive, little more than a panacea.

Lockdowns don't prevent shit other than total isolation for weeks and months and we're not doing that.

Dude P100 masks could let in 0.03% of particles sized 0.21 microns... so, not 100%

But do you need 100%?

NO... but WHY?

That is what most people don't consider. Risk mitigation is not about 100%. It is about drastically reducing your risk.

So if a person wearing a mask captures 60% of the virus and wearing a surgical mask stops 60%, then in combination they reduce exposure by 86%! Now add in the protective factors of distance, ventilation, and reducing time around potential vectors, and the exposure dose (risk of infection and severity of infection if infected) is going to be greatly reduced.

So the goal was never 0 risk. NOTHING IS ZERO RISK.

But if you reduce transmission risk, then you can do more things and minimize societal restrictions. That's good.

If you keep the transmission RATE low enough then you avoid the exponential growth of infection that causes very-bad-things- to happen like overwhelmed hospitals, huge healthcare cost, and economic shutdowns because too many are out sick.

So you're saying we should all wear masks forever, just because.  There will always be a virus or a bacteria to cause an illness. Just to be safe we should always wear a mask and social distance (and not have large gatherings, church services, high school sports, family gatherings, etc) because we're all safer that way.  

Sorry, but fuck that.

It depends on what work means.


Look...jokes aside, a proper face covering can reduce, but not eliminate, the risks of spreading various illnesses.  


They are not magic but it is wrong to deny that some masks can reduce risks under certain conditions.  


A basic 3 layer cloth mask over the mouth and nose, plus social distance, plus sanitisation of touch surfaces and hands...goes a long way towards reducing the spread of numerous viruses.

Many are not wearing them properly So negates the effectiveness.


A Japanese study found masks can be effective from 40 to 90 percent depending on type of mask.

None are totally effective.

To say they are not working, you would need a control sample of population not wearing masks to compare against.

No, it's pretty clear they don't work, and becoming clearer they are contributing to the spikes.

The CDC director came and said if everyone wore masks for 4 weeks, the virus would be gone. That was 9 weeks ago, and everybody has been wearing them since. Yet, here we are.

That's a fine non-sequitur you have there, sir. The supposed motive for requiring masks and suppressing public life is not "reducing the spread of numerous viruses." The supposed motive is reducing the spread of a particular virus. Unless these mandates demonstrably reduce the spread of that virus, they are either pointless theater, or evil. Suppose there's huge radiation leak, and the government orders people to slather themselves with zinc oxide to protect against radiation exposure. The fact that being covered in white goo will reduce the likelihood of sunburn and skin cancer is totally irrelevant to the question whether it should be mandated as a prophylactic against radiation exposure.

Masks are fucking stupid on an individual level.

At a population level, they will reduce the spread of the wuflu, and it's also fucking stupid to argue that they won't.

The question is, who gave a bunch of stupid fucking people, control over the population?

Both the 2nd and 3rd will have the same risk of getting it regardless of one wearing a mask or not. One has the virus on his hands, clothing, body, it can be on anything he touches. It will settle on the floor, walls, furniture, or food from his exhaling even through most masks.
