    No, you're saying there's no reason to wear them because they don't stop nor prevent the spread PERFECTLY, but they do prevent it SOME.... The viruses are carried out mainly on water droplets, which is what masks catch, some very tiny droplets will get through but it's not many. The viruses by themselves don't survive very long in the open air, hence the need for social distancing even if masks are being worn

    I'm convinced Trump does. Trump is reputed to have asked what would happen if we let this. "burn through" the populace and when some shocked doctors informed him that millions would die very quickly he backed off, but knowing Trump I think that was insincere and he's been trying to do just that ever since. You'll notice that he's been getting more "alarmed" over this as the election nears, hoping he can use the unprecedented massive deaths and economic dislocations to call the dreaded event off.

    And it totally wrong...in virtually every regard.

    Your immune system is going to keep you from getting COVID?

    Good luck.

    There's ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE dead...

    Immune system my ass

    Sometimes you cannot reason with the unreasonable once they have it in their heads that they are right and you are wrong. Better to acknowledge their viewpoint and move along.

    Nope. The virus is smaller than the pores of the mask.

    Gloves do not prevent the spread of a virus. After the gloves become contaminated, everything you subsequently touch with those gloves also becomes contaminated. You're much more likely to contract this virus from inhaled air anyway; this is an airborne virus.

    Nope. The virus goes around the face shields, as air does. Remember that this is an airborne virus.

    Nope, but the virus most certainly does go around it, as air does. Again, this is an airborne virus.

    They definitely don't. The same machine is being touched in the same places; it is no different with or without a covering. Cleaning is no different either.

    Who says one is going to be exposed to a "good viral load" (whatever that means)??

    While everybody is different, a healthy immune system generally does quite well in stopping viruses (under normal exposure, ie... not purposely coughing in someone's face or snuggling up with a sick person 24/7...)

    No it's not.

    Yes. Same as it does for the plethora of other viruses/bacteria that exist...

    No need for luck.

    ** 0.045% of the population is not statistically significant.
    ** Those people did not die from covid; they died from pneumonia and other related complications that also could've happened after contracting a plethora of other viruses/bacteria (such as a common flu virus). There is nothing "mysterious" about covid to be fear mongering over...

    It stops viruses dead in their tracks on a daily basis... Be glad you have one!

    You've already noted that it collects on the mask. That means that the amount of virus is depleted BY that mask...as is the distance it travels
    Which is why they need to be discarded immediately after potential contamination...as was noted and ignored by you
    The virus does not have jets. If impeded it drops with the droplets it is carried on.
    again...it can be cleaned much more easily with a covering.

    Bullshit. That pneumonia and blood clots and heart attacks were CAUSED by the covid
    Good to know. I guess there really is no pandemic and 150,000 people didn't die in this country alone

    Nope. They don't stop nor prevent the spread of it at all. As you can see, the virus is all over the world.

    This is an airborne virus. Masks do not stop viruses.

    They can survive for hours in the air.

    Neither are needed.

    @gfm7175 has repeatedly proven himself incapable of ever responding to these scientific debates with anything more than his own opinion and that opinion will never alter even in the face of publicly available data or relevant experts in the field.

    Some does. Some also goes right through the mask.

    Doesn't matter. The virus is still in the air, it is still on objects, it is still spreading. It is still inhaled and exhaled. So long as the virus can get in and out, it is not being stopped/prevented in any way. A spaghetti strainer does not stop nor prevent the spread of water.

    If you touch ANYTHING with them, they could potentially be contaminated.

    Jets are not necessary.

    A virus does not require a droplet. It is in the air. If air goes around the plastic barrier, then the virus goes around the plastic barrier.

    Nope. It's the same.

    Nope, science.

    Nope. They simply resulted after contracting covid. They could've also resulted after contracting swine flu or many other illnesses. Correlation is not causation.

    COVID does not cause pneumonia. Pneumonia is caused by various bacteria and is a bacterial infection of the lungs.

    COVID does not cause blood clots. Blood clots are typically caused by a buildup of fatty deposits in one's veins.

    COVID does not cause heart attacks. Heart attacks are typically caused by fatty deposits in one's arteries.

    Correct. A fraction of a fraction of a percent is not a "pandemic".

    Strawman Fallacy. I never denied that 150,000 people died. I accept as a True that 150,000 people died.

    No need to use the LORD's name in vein...

    Sure.

    It was caused by Covid.

    Not by the diabetes, obesity, and varicose veins.

    Of course Covid deaths are overcounted. There's a monetary incentive for hospitals to code deaths as "covid" related.

    Funny how pneumonia deaths are lower than ever this year.

    A little comment here:

    "coronavirus" does not necessarily mean this new coronavirus that came from China.

    I would guess that maybe about a third of those currently testing positive for "coronavirus" actually have some type of coronavirus that's been going around for years.

    So the % that had weakened immune systems was insignificant?
