I'm more interested in knowing your habits and where you travel, and I appreciate people who don't wear a mask insofar as they've been transparent.

You still don't get what a micron is.
I'm quite certain its a rigorously defined unit of measurement.

One church I went to has a sign that's like "You're supposed to wear a mask" but all the old people just don't come.  No one but me even seemed to bring one in.  Then another checks for people's temperatures before you get past the main entrance, and everyone has spaced seating so you don't really need one once you're inside.

No, see, I want the actual research  and the conditions and methods used to conduct the research. Not CDC quotes and one persons opinion. Does anyone know what science is anymore?
There are no scientific studies that show masks alone slow the spread of the plague.

There are no scientific studies that show masks alone DO NOT slow the spread of the plague.

It's a standard epistemological problem.

Haha.
What an irritating conversation that would be.

It's the same conversation as your "anger management" clip.

The literal problem is that the CDC does research, and you still don't believe it. In fact, I can even tell you are cherry-picking evidence by ignoring the fact that there are virtually thousands of pro-mask studies online.

Quoted from one of my other posts.

Don't know why you want to know that. I'm a regular human being in the midst of a pandemic. Go out not too often, and only for essential needs. Always wear a mask when possible. When touching something at a store, I put on a hand sanitizer and then go take a shower.

Again, viruses don't travel by themselves.  They are smaller than the mask's filter, yes. But no, in reality, no virus travels singularly and therefore can't fit through the mask without killing some of its unkillable buddies.

...can't fit through the mask...
If the mask isn't airtight, and or if you can smell through it, a virus can get around it.

Also, a mask doesn't keep the respiratory particles from landing on your hair and clothes and other parts of your face and even on the mask itself which most people touch with their hands anyway.

Ohh,  I meant to share what I think about people in my locale.  I'm just not very familiar with internet formats.  I bet I've made like half a dozen jokes on here and took them down because I was just having fun and they lacked the nuance that would come across intuitively in person.

Science has proven this wrong.


Though a mask can't block 100% of all viruses, it can stop some.

I went to the DMV and they said you had to wear one, then a lady came out who has dozens of transactions per day and rubbed her hands over every square inch.  It worked out good because I was polite and we agreed instead that they would call me when my number came up.   I didn't have to wait in line : )

And that may and that may not be enough to make any difference.

We should probably always wear masks all the time forever and ever now to protect all people from all diseases.

Biden's Covid-19 plan was difficult to understand until I actually put it together. We see lots of images of Biden taking off his mask to speak at his totus platform, but very few of him putting the mask on. The few I see tell you his Covid plan. When Biden puts on his black mask, he ends up covering his eyes. That's the Biden plan, in a nutshell. In a blind. Literally. That's his plan. Don't look. Don't know. Don't act. That wasn't so hard, was it?

Sounds just like the Biden I've known so well.
