Grow a brain and don't wear a mask

Do masks stop viruses?

They can.

Just doin' my part.

Cool, it sounds like you signed up for the parler app.

First I've heard about it. Is that what you use? How often do you use it and for how long have you used it?

Are you talking about the echo feature of the app?

 

[Evmetro]

They can.

But do they?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

They can.

True, but notice that no matter how many times you answer, he won't accept it. I've told him the same thing several times on this and other threads. He's the type who believes wearing a mask is more dangerous than not wearing a mask....for good reason; his girlfriend came home and said she caught both herpes and chlamydia from her mask so now he's against masks.

Jesus, dude. You need to get out of the house more. Do you even know what an echo is? Echoes have existed far longer than human use of electricity.

Friend of yours?

Do masks stop viruses? Do you need to stop short by claiming that "they can," or do you says yes, masks stop viruses?

Some masks can stop viruses, some masks will stop viruses. Have you ever passed a basic science or medical class? Do you understand about filtration? The problem of the amount of filtration versus the size of the particles being filtrated? Have you ever tried to smack flies with a fishing net versus smacking them with a flyswatter? Do you understand why one is more effective than the other?

I have been continously trained on hazmat for many decades, and I have been trained, certified, and fit tested for respirators for just as long.

I see you stopped short of saying that masks stop viruses.

Dude, how many times do people have to tell you that surgical masks help prevent the spread of disease and are not 100%.

Here's a question for you as an "expert" in hazmat: Are surgical masks effective at all in the spread of COVID-19?

You still stop short of claiming that masks stop viruses.

Not all masks as you should know as an "expert". Why did you dodge my question? Are you being disingenuous or just absent minded?

Answer mine first, and I will answer yours second. Do masks stop viruses?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

I did. Now I suspect you were removed from you job for memory or other issues. Good luck with your life and/or treatment, sir.

I just reviewed our posts and do not see where you answered my question. You have refused to answer if masks stop viruses or not, so are you trying to answer my question by posting everything but the actual answer? I don't see where you have declared that masks stop viruses, so are you saying that masks do not stop viruses?

Thanks for your opinion. I'm positive others have done the same and found that I have answered your posts and you've refused to answer mine. Good luck with your anti-mask campaign Mr. "Hazmat expert".

God Bless America!

For the record then, you have never claimed, and do not claim now, and refuse to claim that masks stop viruses. This is a picture worth a thousand words.

For the record:

Correct, as any sane, intelligent and educated adult can tell you.

Sane people have home fire insurance. It's a protective measure. They wear rubber gloves when skinning rabbits and hogs. Not a guarantee, but a simply attempt to avoid trichinosis. They'd look funny at a doctor operating on an open wound who didn't wear a surgical mask. The mask isn't to protect the doctor from disease but to protect the patient. People who are now saying "masks don't work" are either completely ignorant of these other things or operating on something other than common sense.

Agreed on masks preventing spreading the disease. As all sane and intelligent Americans know, the N95 mask is to prevent catching the virus as opposed to spreading it. The person you are conversing with is intelligent, but he doesn't have all the dots on his dice. Ergo, don't expect a rational answer.

Yes, it'd be great if we all had N95 masks, face shields and hazmat suits, but that's impractical in a nation of 328M. Doing what we can to prevent spreading the virus is rational. Those who are against are irrational.

Stop? Something on the order of an N95. Why? Are you worried?
