Thousands die of flu every year

The problem with what you are saying is a matter of definition ... when does a droplet become a vapor ???

It's actually a matter of the state of matter. Water vapor is not droplets. That is what is part of every exhale. Liquid water and only liquid water has droplets. A cloud is liquid or solid water. It is not water vapor.

I understand the point you are trying to make but you leave yourself open for criticism. Examples:

Breathing on eyeglasses to clean them with a tissue

Breathing on eyeglasses causes the water vapor to condense into liquid water. The eyeglasses are colder.

Breathing on a mirror to write something

Again, water vapor condensing into liquid water. The mirror is colder.

The whole mask/plague bit is hyped beyond comprehension. To me, the mask is a slave collar ... and the dims are using this as step one of "OBEY ME"

A good way to put it.

True Scotsman fallacy.

The only requirement to be a Christian is to believe that Jesus Christ exists and He is who He says He is, namely the son of God.

Satan is a Christian, BTW.

Right on cue, Sybil! Kudos, dude!

breathing on a mirror or glasses creates a vapor film on them because the mirror or glasses are cooler than your humid breath and the moisture condenses on the hard surface. Nothing like the droplets of covid contaminated water that the liberals claim.

Covid19 can remain intact for several days in bone dry air.

I don't think that is correct. virus cells need water to survive.

No, they don't. Many viruses will survive intact for hours to days in bone dry air. A virus isn't a cell. A virus DOES need a host to replicate.

You should never ever ever use the word think we know that isn't a thing you do

coming from the resident moron, that comment is meaningless--------------and stupid.

we were both correct--------to a point

Paradox. Which is it, dude?

 

[redfish]

Agreed

changing someone else's posts brands you as a juvenile idiot who has never had an original thought. your idiocy is self confirmed.

read the cite. a virus cell is a cell. .0125 microns, very small, can only be seen with an electron microscope. I really do not intend to argue with you on this or anything else. We are generally on the same page and the same side. So there's that.

A virus is not a cell. There is some debate on whether it's life at all. They are completely incapable of reproducing on their own, or even growing. They vary in size. Covid19 is about 0.0125 microns. Masks, of course, have no chance at stopping anything that small.

Masks DO carry a risk when they are used long term. That's why people that work in dusty conditions are limited on their exposure before they must take a break and change their mask. Long term use of a mask increases bacteriological and fungal infection risk.

Covid19 is, of course, an airborne virus. It's already everywhere in the air and on every surface. Mask Nazis don't understand this. They live under a fear based on ignorance. I am convinced some of them will wear masks until the day they die, never understanding how useless masks are.

I am VERY convinced of this...

In Dane County, during any given time that I would enter into a store, about half of the people in such stores would be wearing their masks, even though I suspect that most of those people are vaccinated and even though there was no countywide mandate to wear masks. Those people are so scared by our local media that they'll likely never take the damn things off ever again.

In any other given county during any given time (I don't go to Milwaukee), I'd see basically nobody wearing a mask. I bet, since Dane County has a mask mandate again, that the other half of people who I'd otherwise see maskless will now be masked up again in stores just to "go along to get along". Unfortunately, I doubt that I will notice any more resistance to it than I did the last time (which was a few people here and there).

It's sad. They are literally in a prison of fear of their own making.

There are a lot of sheeple about. They don't understand that doing it to get along is actually pissing people off.

Agreed. Pretty sure the mask mandates are nothing more than behavior modification/ habit building tools. If you can get someone to do something for three consecutive weeks it becomes a habit. Just the way it is. Thus the reason we sometimes see people wearing masks when they are riding all alone in their own car or hiking alone in the middle of the deep woods... Lots of weak minded people these days. Real shame....
