The fact some people need a supercomputer to tell them this is sad. The fact a good chunk of people will look at this and still rationalize some reasoning around this is scary.

    Once Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov in their first chess match I realized this is all a choreographed simulation. Trump was a 4 year virus.

    Using a single surgical-type mask, made of non-woven material, had 85% effectiveness in blocking particles when worn tightly around the nose and face. Adding a polyurethane mask on top boosted the effectiveness to just 89%.

    Masks don’t work though, right?

    Based on that data, wearing 6 masks all the tim makes you impervious to infection. I suggest you try it.

    Describe "particles." What size, what kind?

    Now reason with yourself on why "Any old face covering will do" in terms of government advice.

    Now go to a hospital for a procedure wearing a cloth mask and watch them give you a surgical one instead.

    Lots of questions, very few answers, KobeTroller.

    On the margins they probably do. But wearing them in a grocery store is pointless.

    Guy who wears 3 condoms at the same time chimes in...the rationalization begins...

    People grab them and move them and touch them which is actually worse, which is why statistics also show masks (and lockdowns in general) have been useless this past year. Unfortunately though people have tunnel-vision and human psyche in general forces people to bend reality to try and fit the narrative in their head because they aren’t rational enough to look at data and reassess their perception/reality/beliefs. Would be a fascinating case study if it wasn’t such a train wreck.

    TLDR version is that Leftists are sheep and always have wanted to be herded and coiffed by their leaders.

    If only it had the same success rate in California the last 3 months

    Masks policies have nowhere near the effect that these tests provide as most dont wear them properly or even have the proper mask.

    Maybe they should require Mask 101 in schools.

    Minus well keep the masks during future flu seasons cause hey..only one kid died of flu this year.

    Minus well lower the speed limit as it will save lives

    Minus well make hamburgers illegal as it will save lives.

    Minus well make cigarettes illegal while were at it.

    Minus well make tobacco illegal

    Minus well make pop illegal.

    Hell.....why not just make it illegal to be more than 20 pounds overweight. I mean it's all those fat motherfuckers who are dying cause of covid and heart disease.

    Shit. Why stop at masks and social distancing. If we really want to save lives we need to make being fat illegal.

    Minus well? Is this an autocorrect all 6 times? If not, and if I’m not missing an inside joke, it’s ‘might as well’.

    Having asthma, I'm more cautious than others, but as long as you aren't right next to someone you should be fine. Having been in idabo now a week I like it, a third the people wear it, the rest don't. Make your own choice.

    Whenever I read stuff like this I flash back to that morbidly obese lady screaming at a child standing 12 feet away that not wearing a mask killed her sick, morbidly obese husband.

    Ya positive it wasn't the cigarettes and Twinkies, fatso?

    At this point I'd just take not promoting being fat as good.

    How far can it go? Every year it gets worse. There has to be some kind of tipping point right?
