    With 2.7 million that have recovered, from no to severe complications, but regardless are still with us, the stars honestly aren’t that bad.

    Getting melodramatic over the smallest thing helps no one.

    The ones that show FEWER particles escaping and traveling dramatically less distance before falling to the floor...not that you care..

    Did you really just post that?

    The stuff collecting on the inside of the mask CAME FROM YOU.

    But you demand the "right " to infect others?

    "It’s not all doom and gloom. While the poor are getting poorer, the 1% are making out like bandits. America’s 600-plus billionaires saw their wealth grow by more than $700bn (£525bn) in the first few months of the pandemic, according to an analysis by the progressive non-profit Americans for Tax Fairness. During the same period, more than 50 million American workers lost their jobs. The US government has printed trillions in economic relief, but many of the forgivable emergency loans earmarked for small businesses seem to have been nabbed by the super-rich. My local independent coffee shop has closed down, but Kanye West received a partially forgivable loan worth at least $2m. It is becoming increasingly clear that the US is experiencing one of the biggest wealth transfers in history.

    We are teetering on the edge of a devastating global depression that could see 60 million people around the world pushed into extreme poverty. At a time like this why on earth would anyone argue against billionaires paying their fair share? The Useful Idiot theory might help explain it."

    I kinda wish you guys could restrain your projecting, that's a Trump prediction that's worse than my worst, but sadly plausible.

    The reason there are fewer particles escaping is that you are trapping them in your own mask.

    The mask is a chamber of moist air. The mask doesn't care if the virus enters from your exhale, or from you inhaling the outside air. Either way, the mask will collect the virus in the moist chamber of your mask, potentially infecting both you and those around you as you breathe in, and as you breathe out

    The mask is not a preventer of the virus, it's a collector of the virus, and thus a spreader of the virus as well.

    The mask is about as useful as sunglasses are for welding.

    No, dude, since I don't have covid, those particles would be entering from the outside, as I inhale; and the reason fewer of them would be escaping is because I would be trapping many of them in my mask, if I were foolish enough to wear one.

    Dude... if they are coming from outside... and they get trapped on the mask... they were prevented from getting into your face holes

    Jesus. Do you folks understand basic logic?

    In SK, they were wearing masks when they ended up with the worst outbreak of any nation. In fact, they were wearing so many masks that they started running out of them. Masks did them no good.

    It was only when they changed their strategy from masks to contact tracing that they were able to separate the sick from the healthy, and thereby reduce the outbreak. Here in the US, we treat everyone as though they're sick even if they're healthy. We order them to wear a worthless mask, force them to close their business, and then do nothing to screen those who actually are sick.

    Well, you've now proven that you don't. Even with an N95, supposedly one of the better masks, 50% of covid will pass through the mask (into your lungs), and the other 50% will get trapped in the moisture of your mask, of which you will have the pleasure of breathing in for the rest of the day. How is it that you can't conceptualize these things?

    wrong, almost all east asian wear mask. also you can't just rely ONLY mask, its combination of Mask/contact tracing EARLY on/lockdown/social distance ALL that crush the curve. early on we were slow on testing/very little contact tracing, plus a POTUS doesn't want wear mask and downplay it in Jan/Feb. +bunch ppl dont want to wear it. Name some infectious health expert that says mask dont help, dare you.

    "Flattening the Curve" ?

    I wish they'd count the National Debt the same way you are counting these coronavirus cases.

    No, it would have floated away in the breeze, killed by sunshine in two minutes, and never to be seen again. It takes a heavy load of covid to get infected in the first place, and the best way of accumulating that heavy load is to walk around with a mask on all day, and worse yet, to wear that same mask the next day.

    Why the huge resurgence of the virus? Because people in the U.S. refuse to do what would control it. Wear a mask, use hand sanitizer and alcohol when shopping, etc. And keep distance between themselves and others. I can't believe the number of people that fail to do this unless it is mandated and if there is a fine. I call people out for not wearing my Counties mask mandate and get push back from them. "I don't have to", "why should I" and so on. They are uneducated people that apparently need someone to Parent them.
